[QUOTE="TheVoice, post: 264472, member: 12538"] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]I think what the brother was referring to, as “exit polls,” are the polls in this forum and possibly other forums. Which of course is not an accurate account for many reasons. As you all know I voted no on this contract. But I am hardly nave enough to think that the polls on these sites are a failsafe representation of what to expect.
