    last time in 04, the exit polling people went to Craigs List to get workers, and those people way oversampled Democrats (esp females 59-41)

    I believe that was in Jeffrey Toobin's book about the 04 election.
     
  4. And, of course, and this is almost too easy, Jeffrey Toobin didn't write a book about the 2004 election.
    Perhaps you meant this one?

    That's a blog post. And it doesn't come close to alleging what you did.

    Happy Birthday, Walter Cronkite
    Happy birthday to Walter Cronkite, who turns 90 today.

    "These days Cronkite spends his working hours doing documentary narration and voiceover work, as well as some writing, although he gave up his syndicated column last year," the NY Daily News reports. "A leg injury has kept him off the tennis courts for the past few years, but he still enjoys sailing. He tries not to ruminate too much on the past."

    "I don't dare look at myself too carefully," he laughed...

    Why don't you post whatever evidence you think you found?
