I have a feeling we're going to know around 3:00-4:00pm who wins the Presidency..
Drudge will have sirens and exit polls out.
They left off Hawaii!
This guy writes as if the GOP is in danger of losing the House.
Also left out: Georgia Senate (GOP pickup)
You mentioned: "Drudge will have sirens and exit polls out."
I thought VNS had been disbanded. Will there be exit polling this year?
Russert just said on Imus, that they'll know around 3:00pm.
Not sure about exit polls but somehow word about the "trend" has leaked out by mid afternoon in the last 3 national elections.
I also wonder if we will have a good idea of what will happen by Thurs or Friday. In 2 of the last 3 elections some survey firm has issued their final results and they turned out to be very accurate. Wasn't one of the bigger names. I can't remember exactly but it may have been Annenberg, or the Center for Politics. In any case in '98 they saw a trend to the Dems and predicted Repubs would lose ground in Congress and they were right. Then 2 years ago they caught the growing Republican tide and said the GOP had a good chance to gain seats. So if this outfit has something to say late this week I would take it very seriously.
thanks
They forget to mention that Gore won New Mexico by 366 votes!!! The entire summary sounds like some Democrat hoping to hit the election lottery. Basically, Bush is holding on to the states he won in 2000 and many of the so-called states are now in play. This says something about what will happen on election night.
That means he favors the Pubbies.
If we know by 3:00pm that to me Russert is predicting a Bush Landslide, since I don't think ANY pundit thinks it could be a Kerry Landslide.
Don't forget to watch the ashen, blank faces of the MSM "election anchorpersons," as they get the results early, but try to "make it a horse race." There will also be pregnant pauses...long, awkward moments of silence between co-hosts on CNN, ABC, NBC, and most definitely, CBS. They will painfully avoid calling the race until the DNC gives them the OK, just in case it's close enough for Kerry to get his legal machine working.
3:00pm, Tuesday afternoon..
Russert said there's a good possibility the news networks via exit polls will know who won.
Drudge had them on last year.. and called it close. I'm trying to decide what I want to look on Drudge or avoid the net all day and watch the election in suspense.
If I look at Drudge Tuesday afternoon, and it shows Bush up 4-5 points, I'm tuning into CBS and Dan Rather for my election coverage.
If it's tight, I'll probably be flipping around.
you got it...and all the pundits already know it because the campaign are leaking them their internal data...
BTTT for later

Jim, you may want to be ready to put some ice on that...
