I expect you can search high and low and not find my suggesting other than access to exit polling that does exist. However, they would have early exit polling combined with late yesterday and overnight polling to go with it.

As of yesterday, McCain was ahead by 18 points over Romney in national polling. Given that this Super Tuesday is “nearly” a national election, that is very significant.

Combined with New York, Georgia, and New Jersey early data comprising about 200 delegates, I’d say that the media is in a good position to have some clear statistical insight.

I don't want to argue with you...I've read many of your posts on FR and generally think of you as thoughtful and sincere. But...I also don't want anyone dampening expectations for Romney in todays races. There are a lot of folks sitting on the fence now about whether or not they think it's worthwhile to bother to vote. I want every possible Romney voter at the polls. I truly believe that McCain will be a disaster as a nominee and a worse disaster as president.

That depends on who's polling you're looking at. Several polls have it much closer. It ain't over til it's over and IMHO nobody at this point has any insider info to the contrary.
