Larry Sabato has egg running down his face this morning too. He was totally wrong in his prediction that the President would lose. He should be canned by Fox because I'll never believe anything he says from now on.
Zogby's reputation should rightfully be in tatters.
Sabato was definitely very angry about the exit polling. He said someone needed to be held accountable because all the news stations got the same information and were reporting it as a runaway for Kerry--19 point spread in Pennsylvania, Florida for Kerry, Virginia too close to call, etc.
I remember coming in and reading Free Republic at approx. 3 p.m. yesterday. It was definitely a downer after Drudge reported the first exit polls on his site.
Thank goodness the mods pulled several threads after the Drudge thread concerning exit polls, which did help lighten the mood at FR. But before that it was definitely one of confusion and a sense of dread.
Our guy came through. We won. Let's hope that Kerry at 10 a.m. will realize that fact and concede the election to Bush.
Sabato is hardly the impartial observer he claims to be. He called the race wrong for more than six months, and certainly took a beating on the composition of the Senate and House. Hopefully, he will be shunted off to PBS or some minor radio station in Charlottesville.
