I see your point about freedom of discussion but isn't your reasoning a little circular? You say you hate exit polls and don't trust them, and that exit polls won't change any freepers votes anyway, so why discuss them? We don't need someone to put them in perspective for us. Are you assuming freepers will go out and proselyte other discouraged voters after checking with all the wildly swinging exit polls? Not much chance of that, we'd be too busy updating our computers on the exit poll threads.
Being from the left coast, our polls don't close until 11 pm Eastern time (then there's Hawaii) and I for one resent the discussions about exit polls because it tempts commentators to call national races before a goodly portion of us even get a chance to vote, let alone have our vote actually counted.
If I had my druthers, I would embargo all vote prognostications until at least 24 hours after Hawaii's polls close, but that's unrealistic so absentee ballots would also count. However, the more we discuss exit polls, the more likely exit polling companies are going to be encouraged to do them and post results as early as possible. I think a boycott of exit polls is worthwhile.
Exit polls are going to be discussed elsewhere. We are going to hear the leaks from radio stations and other web sites. Free Republic has never been a place where we were denied the opportunity to discuss what is happening and where it is happening. I think that if we find leaks of exit polling data, then we should be free to discuss it and investigate it in real time. Instead we will simply have to sit on that information until after it has had it's desired effect (which is to discourage lazy republicans from voting).
IOW let the leakers have their day and tomorrow we can discuss how they faired.
