Tell you what. So you don’t accuse me of building up your hopes, why don’t you believe CNN, and I’ll believe the count?

Is CNN exit polling in all precincts or just Cleveland?
I don’t believe CNN.

LS don’t be angry. I was just a little concerned with that +7Dem they’re showing.

Exit pollsters skewed their polls to fit “the 2008 model”?

“Exit pollsters skewed their polls to fit “the 2008 model”?”

More than likely. When in doubt, skew the results to what you’d like them to be.

We’ll find out soon when SBE gets the gerbils going again.

@ali on Twitter running numbers on exit polls. They are closer to +4 in VA only, everywhere else the D number is 39%, which puts them way under almost every poll out there.

No surprise. Long lines ALL DAY in tidewater. Huge turnout. Not necessarily good for our side, but interesting to note.

I haven't seen lines like I did today at my polling place before. The couple we rode with (80 and 82, lived in Accomack county all their lives)said the same thing. Hubby and I waited 30 minutes, the other couple an hour -- there were far more people in the A-K line and our last name begins with L.

So VA could go Obama again with that +4 DEM?

+4 is EXIT POLLS. Not real vote count. We will have no idea what the enthusiasm level is till after the numbers come in.

Fox just announced that VA is going to pause reporting while they extend poll hours to anyone in line by 7PM. Not sure how long it will take to clear the line, but the margin looks good so far in VA.

So far, two blue states from 2008 have flipped (IN and GA).

Florida doesn’t look very good right now.

City of Chesapeake, 2nd largest city in VA, Obama carried by 1 point in 2008. With 53% in, Romney leads 60-40. If this holds, we can run up some large numbers here.
