5. THe Bush should have
won by several points more in both 2000 and 2004. The republicans wouldn't have lost so many seats in 2006.

Giuliani is just making shit up.

7. He's an idiot.
Always has been. At this point they're just throwing crap out there and hoping other idiots will actually believe it.

8. Well of course he is wrong...
In fact it is Democrats who do slightly better than the final polls indicate...

11. you'll note he had to cite EXIT polls to make that claim
Bush did perform better than the 2004 exit polls, but the polls leading up to election day were fairly accurate.

13. That's because the Exit Polls were adjusted...
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 04:06 PM by Eric J in MN
...in the afternoon to match the machine count.

The unadjusted Exit Polls had Kerry winning.

18. Arlen Specter said the same thing. Without racist white folks, they have nothing....
It only remains for said white folks to decide what's more important: Obama's color, or their own interests.

We'll see.

21. What polls is he talking about?
:eyes: RCP and NBC among many others showed Bush slightly ahead of Kerry in the polls days before the past Presidential election.
