Just announced -- Fox is dumping exist polls after determining that they are biased towards Dems 6-8+ percent. Will use just raw vote totals for rest of election.
Just for the sake of it-I have never liked Kristol
--yeah exit polls had FOX putting Steele behind Cardin with only 1% of the vote tallied and STeele ahead 55% Horsepoop--
Baltimore County will hold their returns till they determine how many votes they need to put Cardin over the top.
**Fox Dumps Exit Polls (biased 8% toward Dems)**
Smart move on their part.
He would but his new-found liberalism has him stricken with metrosexuality.
I heard that guy also. It was very interesting...
Yeah, didn't he make you feel good when he says that he hopes the political parties can be less partisan and cooperate more. I loved Ken Mehlman's reply: maybe he will find a way to work with people he called brain dead and people he absolutely hated. Well put, Ken!
One thing I find really mystifying: where in all of this analysis and result counting is the absentee vote? Certainly not in the Exit polls or the Fox News telephone poll. According to reports, the absentee vote might account for 20% of the results and won't be counted for perhaps a day or two. Let's hold on to see how that comes in. Methinks Fox has been crossed up by the biased Exit polls once again.

That happened a long time ago. Especially when they started devoting half of their air-time to missing pretty white girls.
"Fred Barnes should slap Bill Kristol"
He would but his new-found liberalism has him stricken with metrosexuality.
**STeele ahead 55%**
Good grief, why did they just call it for Cardin, then?
I missed all the hubbub about the exit polls in 2004 because I was working at the polls. The one thing I noticed then was that most of the early voters were Republican. It was a small precinct and there were only a few Republicans who came to vote on election day. Anyway with early voting, there is no way an exit poll is going to be accurate.
No sense shooting the messenger, people.
**why haven't they pulled back NJ and Maryland, where the republican is still winning???**
Good questions!
Barone finally saw the light
What did Barone see, I missed it?
I'm no political science major.
But CNN county by county totals have Steele up 51-47 in BALTIMORE with 20% of precincts.
I think Steele shocks the world tonite.
FNC says they're looking at actual vote totals in representative precincts, so as to avoid using exit polls.
"Methinks Fox has been crossed up by the biased Exit polls once again"
I hope you're right!
Unless the Dem is trailing, in which case it's "Too close to call"
He tried to stay calm, cool and collected. Very fake, in my estimation. Looked like a stuffed suit.
