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...

I believe the heavy turnout is going to be the defining factor. It favors us, I believe.
If Repubs were discouraged, it would be light turnout.
Thanks!
Hey genius..... I was NEVER talking about Tradesports' numbers on EXIT POLLS!
Get real!
Based on historical exit poll errors, here's how they should be adjusted for the ones currently in the RAT camp
GOP Win: Missouri, Virginia
Too Close to Call: New Jersey, Rhode Island
Rats Win: Maryland, Montana, Pennsyvania, Ohio

He was hoping to get the push that JFK, his good friend, got from PT-109.
You can save your panic until a few hours from now.
I never was talking about Tradesports' exit polls.
The truth is the truth. Learn.
Yes indeed.
Do not be discouraged by the Hostettler results yet, most of the counties reporting are heavy liberal areas.
Thank heavens I fell asleep in 2004 during the exit poll fiasco. I woke up just before Bush won. :)
BTW, is the the official live thread for the election? I hope the threads are not all splintered.
Yes it will be a long night.
I will try to spend it in prayer.

Wow never saw that before.
Thanks for posting.
Missed it as I was voting at the time. Very high GOP in my precinct-PA, about as high as 2004. This according to friend of mine working the polls. Santorum needs very high GOP turnout to win.
Sorry, didn't see that. Was out all day working on the election trying to get people to vote Republican.
Please save it for future reference.
You never know when Effin The Scumball will show up again.

If BS were concrete, John Effin would be an Interstate Highway.
Just checking in.
