Exit Polls Show More Union Members Than 2010, But Otherwise Similar
The Washington Post reports that early exit poll tabulations in Wisconsin show that "union households comprise roughly a third of all voters, a share of the vote that is higher than either of the last two presidential or gubernatorial elections held in the state."
However, the early tabulations also show a makeup of voters that otherwise appears very close to the 2010 electorate that elected Gov. Scott Walker "on race, ideology and religion, among other factors." Wisconsin's 2010 voters were significantly more conservative and slightly more Republican than in previous elections. The Post also reports that on party identification, the exit poll shows rough parity -- roughly the same result as in 2010 -- with "about a third each identif[ing] as Democrats, Republicans and independents."

(146,317 posts)She was one in California when I met her, and she still is. She will pretend to be anything she needs to pretend to be to keep making money.
She is not a Democrat. She is not a liberal. She is not a progressive. She is a Republican.

(146,317 posts)I ran into the two of them a couple of times while playing in the woodwind quintet I was in. We played a couple of charity events they attended. I met her at one of those. Didn't like her or her Republican husband, either.
I was in a tux at the event, so they probably thought I was a guest or something. Politicking.

I think the Washington Post or some outfit bought it.

(10,440 posts)the Headline has been for about an hour now:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
Exit Polls Look Good For Walker... And Obama... Justice Department Monitoring... GOP Election Fraud?... Obama Offers Weak Support... Walker Sends Creepy Last-Minute Tweet..."
Seems like they are reporting the news to me. If the exit polls look good they look good. That might change who know? But the rest tells of all the bad stuff too.
Or do you want a partisan news only? They are not cheerleading and that is news.

(1,484 posts)The organization that bears her name is only trying to "stir up the pot". Their total objective is to stir people up, create anxiety, to make people hate, to make people cry, to satisfy people's craving for the absurd and to create gossip.
Why?
Simple. To create "hits" on their web site. The more hits they can motoviate people into generating for them, the more advertising they can sell and the more they can charge for each ad. It's greed for the almighty dollar that they worship, pure and simple. They are in no way in the business of serving the public, for the public's enlightenment and well being. Rather, they are in business because they are capitalists who lust after wealth. Pure and simple.
The only thing I cannot figure out is why someone like Bill Mahr, who at least gives the outward appearance of being altruistic towards the welfare and benefit of our society as a whole, could be so attracted to the person of the Huffington Posts' founding (to the point of falling all over himself in public with his admiration of her)?
