--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.

Did anyone see Howard "Yee-Haw" Dean a little while ago on Fox? I couldn't catch the interview because my sister called.

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.

Fox has just jumped the shark.

That happened a long time ago. Especially when they started devoting half of their air-time to missing pretty white girls.

**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.

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.

They're calling races for people who are trailing by 15 to 20 percent.

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.
