So, when the exit polls here turn out differently than you want, you blame it on cheating at the ballot box (which has NOT been proven) instead of problems with the exit polls.

Actually, there were several errors shown on the exit polls done in Ohio, including the sampling done and the timing of the polls. But then, of course, the truth doesn't fit well with the losers, so they spin it a different way.

Ed, in fact, internationally (this fact came out during the Orange Revolution) exit polls are considered to be accurate to within .25% (not 25% - one quarter - .25% - one quarter of one point).  The reponse you give is actually the misinformation put out by the republican spin doctors when the exit polls didn't support their results.
