This year the networks say they are guarding their exit poll results as if they were crown jewels. The results will be delivered to a "quarantine room," access to which will be granted to only two staffers from each network...
Given that the longer election night might not suit everyone's bedtime, I've prepared an hour-by-hour guide to tonight's results...
All times are Eastern. In a bow to tradition, we've listed states that went for George W. Bush two years ago in red and those that went for John Kerry in blue. The letters after state names indicate governor and senate races, with the incumbent party in the appropriate color (independents in black).
6 p.m.
Polls close in these two states at 6 p.m. local time, which means the eastern portions will end voting at 6 EST. The key races in both states will be a bevy of close House races featuring GOP incumbents.
In Indiana, three GOP House incumbents have been trailing their Democratic challengers in October polls, albeit with survey samples so small the margin of error is large. Watch Rep. Mike Sodrel in the Ninth District. If he wins, it will mean it's unlikely Republicans will face a huge Democratic wave and lose 30 seats or more. If Rep. Chris Chocola in the Second District should survive, the GOP may wind up losing 20 seats or fewer. If Rep. John Hostettler also comes home to victory in the Eighth District, there is a good chance the GOP will retain its House majority. Indiana's Senate race isn't competitive; Republican Dick Lugar will easily win a sixth term.
Kentucky has two barn burners. Republican Rep. Anne Northup has held Louisville's Third District for five terms...

It is bad ........... tradesports.com
I could tell you why we may have failed, but maybe I'll save that for another day.
Well, they have to keeep up with what's important, doncha know.
What was Tradesports record in 2004?
Nearly perfect.
crap. Buts its not over until the exit polls have been debunked..!
Guys I tried to post a link to the Exit Polls, but our suddenly fascist Website Administrator deleted it in about 30 seconds. The numbers do not look good, but SO WHAT!!! They were dead wrong last time. It's really depressing that a website I love so much would censor a loyal soldier at a time like this.
The inaccuracy is exactly why they don't want them posted. Get over yourself.
Nice...as the saying goes, with friends like you who needs...
What the heck is "Buts"?
Nervous typing!

The Editor, Wall Street Journal Dear Sir/Madame:
I hope you will print this letter about my classmate, John Kerry. Thank you. David Schlossberg, MD Yale '66

As a graduate of the Yale class of 1966, I resent the self-serving lies and misrepresentations advanced by my classmate John Kerry. Herewith, a few corrections:
John Kerry has been using the Pershing name to dramatize his Vietnam experience, claiming to have been a close friend of Richard Pershing, the grandson of General (Black Jack) Pershing. Richard Pershing was a member of the Yale class of 1966, and he was killed in Vietnam shortly after we graduated. However, Kerry’s constant references to his ‘dearest’ friend are exaggerated and exploitative. In fact, Dick Pershing and I roomed together for all 4 years at Yale. I don’t remember John Kerry ever being in our room or even being a particular favorite of Dick’s.
In this regard, it is particularly revealing that a recent biography of General Pershing, Until The Last Trumpet Sounds (by Gene Smith), includes an entire chapter on Dick, primarily on his years at Yale; the name John Kerry does not appear. The Pershing Family did know Kerry, but they disliked him intensely. This antipathy stemmed primarily from an incident at the Pershing home on Park Avenue not long after Dick’s death: at a gathering of friends and family, Kerry worked the room with his anti-Vietnam message, incurring the undying enmity of Mr. and Mrs. Pershing and Dick’s older brother Jack, a Green Beret. The family was shocked and insulted by Kerry’s insensitivity. Kerry has implied – as recently as the first Presidential debate – that he became disillusioned about Vietnam by his military experience.
However, as early as 1965, in his Junior year at Yale, he was giving anti-war speeches; and his Class Day Oration in 1966 – prior to graduation – criticized American involvement in Vietnam. These sentiments clearly antedated his Vietnam experience. So why did he join the Navy? He told some classmates that it would help his career. The above pattern suggests a callous and opportunistic personality – hardly what I would call Presidential.

Good find! I will find a way to incorporate it. Ack! Kristol on the Fox allstars! Look for more bedweeting while awake by Kristol..
Tradesports was NOT accurate in 2004. At the same exact time that night as we are now, they had Bush with about a 28 percent chance of winning based on EXIT POLLS. So BTS, please check your facts before spreading your panic to other FReepers.
Brit is going to be whipping on Juan all night. From that exchange, apparently these exit polls are wildly out of whack.
Of course they are out of whack. I really don't know how anyone on FR could put the least bit of stock in a system that was COMPLETELY backwards in 2004 and run by the same folks and reported on by the same media.
Kristol is a creep.
Bookmark. Looks like this will be a long evening.
Ok, everyone keep this a secret, but a source of mine conducting exit polls told me that it is 100% confirmed that Dewey is pounding Truman.
