Chuck's Musings

It has occurred to me listening to the media the last few days that the pollsters and pundits are asking the wrong question about the election results. They are all wondering why the voting results didn't match the exit polls when they really need to be wondering why the exit polls didn't match the voting results. They just don't get it. Their automatic assumption is that the polls must be more accurate and I've seen more than one internet column insinuating that the election must have been rigged. It's beyond me how anyone can think that asking people in select areas who they voted for is better than counting up all the votes in the country.

In 2000, one of the big arguments was that the one with the most popular votes should win, regardless of the electoral college. Now, Bush had the most popular votes and the most electoral college votes. Still, they want to stick with the line that he's an illegitimate president.
