Well, for what it's worth, they are saying that GOP voters use the 'early voting' system more than the Rats do, so exit polls don't tell the whole story, esp. if there are something like 250,000 votes int he 'early' system, like they are saying...

(I can't stand the thought of a Sen. Bowelmovement either...)

LOL! I don't drink medicinal adult beverages, but I have chocolate, the good stuff. And freshly popped popcorn.

I'm worried about the fraud in some places. This is going to be a long night...

I've been incommunicado all day. What's been going on? Aren't the polls closing in the east coast?

Oh my, Bit, you are on a roll today. Your comments have been spot on funny. :) I too cannot stand the idea of any x42 crony winning, I had the misfortune of running into Bill Richardson while channel surfing last night. Ugh.

I think the same principle is in play, report falsely, and try to discourage the last of the voters from going to vote. (Boy, FR just sped up, good news.)

Back from voting. Very heavy in my precinct. I had to wait for three people in front of me to vote.

Based on exit polling from the Chairman's family -

Wolf - Winner
Warner - Winner
Sales Tax - Down in flames
All bond issues - Down in flames
Delegation of charitable designations - too close to call.

One of our part-time employees is a precinct worker (chief judge, I think). In NC the party of the governor is in charge of elections in each precinct so I have known that meant that she is registered as a Dem.

..... She called about something last night and we were talking about the fact that she would be off this evening because of working at the polls. This lady is one-of-a-kind ..... she's 69 years old and one of our spunkiest, most energetic workers ..... is a no-nonsense type with a marvelous sense of humor. Just a pure delight ..... and a dream of an employee!

..... it has surprised me that she's a Dem ..... she just doesn't seem the type. Last night I tip-toed into a political discussion, simply out of curiosity. She told me that the reason she stays registered as a Dem is to keep her precinct job. Then she started talking about the Senate race and couldn't even think of the name of the 'rat candidate.

..... I told her I wasn't about to remind her of the name ...... *grins*

Turns out the precaution on my part wasn't necessary. Apparently she wouldn't touch him with the proverbial 10-foot-pole ...... hehehe! I mentioned something about him being former chief-of-staff to x42 and she made a very snide remark about that.

I think I can safely say that at least one Dem in NC voted for Dole ..... though I wouldn't dare outright ask.

Also .... last night I finally got my call from President Bush. I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't been called yet ....... *grins*

Went to get my hair cut this morning and right as I got there another customer was talking about her call from him.

There was pretty heavy turnout when we voted late this morning. It was just beginning to rain so I don't know what that did to the turnout for the rest of the day.

Hope you're right about the reason for VNS dissing its own data.

Good election evening all:

I'm watching Brit Hume's show, and there is a reporter (Jeff ?) reporting from St. Louis. (Carl Cameron was here all weekend.) He just did a good job of re-capping all the shenagins that went on in St. Louis in election 2000. However, my beef is that he is reporting from "Frontenac, Missouri." This is a very wealthy community in St. Louis county (where Saks Fifth Avenue is located.) The fraud story will not be in Frontenac, Missouri! It will be down in the city precincts----where it happened in 2000. GRRRR!

Now, I need to go back and catch up on what has happened today......

To add to the confusion.

Posted on another thread...

CAUTION: Tony Snow was on the Hannity radio program about a half hour ago (about 2:15pm Pacific) saying VNS is advising the news media to not release any of their numbers, and to not believe them because the numbers are so unreliable. About a third of their precincts were not reporting correctly or at all. Hannity said that means any numbers put out by Drudge are wrong also since they come from VNS. 51 posted on 11/05/2002 6:08 PM EST by Wolfstar

Great news Chair ...it seems VNS just walked out on the networks.....:-)

Hugh Hewitt is reporting a Committee in the House told VNS ...if they screwed up this election...they would get hauled before Congress faster than Rosie O'Donnell can eat 3 Big Mac's...:-)

Whatever do you mean? ALL of my comments were dead serious, dontcha know....

I have to admit that I kinda felt sorry for Mondale, being dragged into it and all, and almost got used to the idea of him getting Wellstone's seat -- until I saw him attack Coleman on abortion and watched him stammer when Coleman poleaxed him about his 2 kids who died prematurely...Mondale had no problem poking Coleman in the eye over abortion, so I say: Stick it to Fritz!!!
