One of the important signs, among others, of a fascist state are the fraudulent elections that we now have here.

Another important sign is the monopolization of the media by right wing corporations who also set government policy, both of which we now have.

Edwards wins almost every poll that is conducted outside the war profiteering media. They are afraid of him because he has sworn to break up their profit party and start disassembling the fascist situation.

The polls represent only a sampling, not the entire universe of voters. And then the sampling takes place at a different, even though proximate, time. So for either or both reasons, polls will not always be accurate. What''s amazing is that the polls give us a good picture lots of other times.

Something is off or strange, for the number of people searching on the internet for the candidates must be indicative of something. Google Trends report showing Ron Paul and Barack Obama WELL in the race on the internet (for number of searches on them), See:

Anomalies are a fact of statistics, they just happen and NH is not an exception. Have you ever noticed that things seldom ever turn-out as they first appear? Sure you have and what you have seen is the possibility of an anomaly that may or may not have just occurred.

Did anyone think about the fact that maybe people are tired of pollsters and decided to play with them? I would. I don''t feel it is some strangers business who I might vote for and besides, they do spin the information they get and not always in a good way.

The polls were RIGHT! They gave the exact amount of support for OBAMA. It''s simply that almost all of the undecided voters voted for Hillary and that many of the older more experienced voters who might not have voted in past primaries felt tis time it was more important. Easy to predict given the nature of the current Presidency and the lackmof substance from the OBAMA campaign.

Exxon and Walmart want McCain vs. Clinton and Clinton got Edwards votes. Hack all the way. Diebold precincts twice as likely to go for Clinton.

Oh good grief, two things happened!

There was a record turnout in voting! The polls couldn''t accomodate that! The only people that exist in a poll are the people polled! There''s no way you can predict how everybody is really going to vote.

The second is, pollsters don''t like to be wrong and they jumped on the Obama bandwagon and got their polls to reflect that. Polls are very easily rigged to show what the pollsters want to predict.

There may have been some clerical errors here and there. But nine will get you ten it was due to the record turnout.

And I don''t believe it had anything to do with race!

I can''t believe how much media (and I guess) citizen attention is being directed toward this election which is just another fraudulent event.

The media is trying to make us forget about all the other signs of the fascist state, spying on citizens, incarceration and torture without charges, rampant nationalism, extreme emphasis on the military (see additional escalation in Iraq just announced) and crooked and corporate controlled right wing media.

Nobody can predict the future...why should pollster be any different?

Frankly I was happy that the pollsters'''' got the results wrong...

I never listen to pollsters, just like I never listen to (movie) critics...I am quite capable of making up my mind thank you very much!

love it when the polls show something people like they don''''t have a problem with them when they show something they don''''t like or the results come out differently they have a problem. While most polls are correct today the swing voter is swinging very rapidly because it is a day to day thing. I can be certain that if you were to vote do you think that the administration is doing a good job or not the not would be on target.

But like anything last minute can change everything.

Nothing went wrong - the Commentators (not Journalists) voiced personal feeling about the race (like they are ever correct) from FOX news and did not perform REAL polling of the voters.


The Orwellian News services tried to push who they thought should win or wanted to win. This will become even more evident in the coming months.


For REAL news - go to the Blogs!
