Bad Exits?
I’m told that in one newsroom, “there were four sets of exits on Massachusetts, two showing Obama ahead and two showing Clinton ahead.”
Hmmm. Even more caution than usual, folks, even more caution than usual.

Big Deviations From Early Exit Poll Numbers?
A reader notes that the early exit poll numbers had Romney winning Delaware, by a considerable margin, and it’s being called for McCain, and asks, does this mean all the exits are no good?
Short answer is, I don’t know. I don’t know if the samples were too small, or if the exit pollsters haven’t had to pay attention to Delaware in so long that they take their samples from the right areas. This is why I suggest a certain level of caution and skepticism when I post them.

I go to vote. all over the place there's Huckabee signs. I go into the poll, I say...is this allowed?
They say yes, fifty feet away.
I go out and start pacing to measure. They see me so come out with clothesline marked as fifty feet long and they measure.
So I say...okay, can I put up Romney signs?
They shrug...sure.
below....left....BEFORE Romney signs....right ....AFTER I put up Romney signs.
Well they didn't say where I had to put the Romney signs!
