''The Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancy''

This is a new revision of the paper by Steven Freeman from the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Organizational Dynamics. If can get through this and understand it, you should probably be able to get some course credit. If you are able to digest it and send me something I can post, I have a gift for you. Update: Jesse Jackson has kicked it up a notch with this: "Jackson and civil rights lawyers who were also on the conference call said they would like access to a laptop belonging to Karl Rove, Bush's political adviser, to determine what communication was transmitted between Rove and Ohio Republicans during the election."-from BlackAmericaWeb.com tonight. Update: I received the first attempt to decipher the Freeman paper from the local blogger known as "Sleepless," for those of you who lived on the Blog for America in 2004: "The guy says the odds of all three 'battleground' states having skewed exit poll data are 666,000 to 1 --- well nigh impossible. Probably about the same odds of you being hit by lightning while being eaten by a grizzly. He also states that all the other lame excuses being used by the networks to discredit the polls --- too many of one gender, Bush voters not wanting to be interviewed, talking to people early in the day ---are horseshit." Sleepless is a plain-talker!
