He is part of the conspiracy.

Turn on the heat on "old Warren"!

And Warren lectures Zogby about accuracy:

"Zogby is not a reputable pollster," said Warren Mitofsky, who is co-directing the media exit polls this year for the major television networks and the Associated Press. "He is more a salesman and a self-promoter than a pollster. He has made lots of mistakes on election outcomes -- five in 2002. . . . I have heard of volatile campaigns, but he has volatile polls." (Zogby acknowledged on his Web site last February that "this past election cycle was not my finest hour.")


"Old Warren" is very accurate, even when he lies.

1. I like this part....
Mitofsky has directed exit polls for about 3,000 electoral contests over the past 34 years in the United States, Russia, Mexico and the Philippines. His record for accuracy is well known.

From 1967 to 1990, Mitofsky was executive director of the CBS News election and survey unit and was executive producer of its election night broadcasts. He conducted the first exit polls for CBS in 1967 and started the CBS News/New York Times Poll in 1975, which he directed for 15 years.

...i didn't see anything about zogby though.

2. Mitofsky made that statement in a piece on the "Washington Post"
Is a different article.

I don't have the link, sorry.

Thanks for the story. I guess they need to discredit zogby now. Funny that the guy with the "bad" exit polls is picking on anyone.
