As an aside, I think we should be able to post Exit poll data at 5:00pm for the simple reason that it will be everywhere on the Internet and everyone will be talking about it except here at FR because it has been banned.

Just my 2 cents.

It'll be useless anyway, and the MSM knows it - you can't predict the outcome of a race from exits when 20%-40% of votes are cast absentee or early.

The exits will be junk, junk, junk.

Why look at the data? They have been infamously way off base in 2000, 2002 and 2004. How do we take the exit polls seriously when you consider the increasing percentage of absentee ballot votes and early votes cannot be included in the exit polls? It also has been said that the Dims love to respond to questions from exit pollsters, but Republicans tend to spurn them. I know I do!!!
