Thats a damned good question. I thought I knew (never having been exit polled), but apparently not.

I was on another thread where someone claiming to be a poli sci major was giving someone hell for telling pro-lib lies on an exit poll because next elections politicians would supposedly base their positions on this elections exit polls and therefor become ever increasingly liberal.

If that really explains the GOPs headlong rush toward socialism then its time to grab the rifles. Liberals are proud to run off at the mouth to anyone who will listen to their opinions and conservatives are either not going to answer because its no ones GD business or intentionally falsify the responses to throw a wrench in the poll. Why could anyone actually derive accurate position information (as though I would vote for such a coward) from data that screwed up?

Seriously, can anyone help set the record straight here?

But PA page now has zero votes counted-not sure what with that...


As they say:

What do you think?
What do you know?
What can you prove?


I can't prove and don't know, but I think the PA Secretary of State will not post actual totals until the late precincts close, but that network stringers are calling in with "whispers" from county seats and other vote counters.

Same goes for Ohio.

[angcat]

Does that really work. My cup would explode in my hands. No tension taming for me.

[Tolsti]

uh oh

Thanks you for the kind offer of a cup of tea, but I have my own nerve calmer...hiccup!

"Having Dean on proves they are fair to both sides."

And now they have Ken Mehlman on Fox, so they are fair to both sides. Mehlman said, "Grab a bag of pretzels, grab a cold one...it's going to be a long evening."

[Howlin]

Yes, it is!! What's wrong with these people?

Are we so out of tune we don't understand what is going on?

Oh, geez, Ken Mehlman talking about "working together in a bipartisan way."
