The national exit polls were off by 6% points (predicting Kerry with 51% to Bush's 48% and not the reverse).  What happened to make these so wildly inaccurate?  They were obviously off for Ohio and Florida as well, by 4 points each.  I know that Voter News Service was phased out after mistakes in 2000.  What happened now?
