cross tabulate that!

this kind of post is beginning to make me frustrated. Not for the poster's lack of effort, but from the limitations of two-way cross tabulations.

Everyone is analysing tabulations of voting intention by one other variable, leading to such apparent paradoxes as Bush picking up votes from high income people, while losing votes amongst the better educated.

someone out there must have actual data from exit polls! why aren't they telling us about what affects voting after adjusting for all these confounding variables?
