I hope the BBC exit polls are better than the ones in the US favoring John Kerry in early afternoon!

Fingers crossed. Apathy could work in our favour.

I heard Rush say that also, about a Torie landslide, but the UK does have a precedent for the polls being wildly wrong.

I believe it was the Parliamentary election in 1970, maybe Ivan can confirm that.

Well will know starting in another 3 hours or so, and if Rush was not being tongue in cheek, be ready for the DUmmie moonbats onslaught about exit polls.

I am reminded of a quote by Roger Ailes, head of Fox News, who answered a question from a Congressional inquiry into 2000 election coverage about why polls were so off. He said:

When Republicans come out of polls, if you ask them a question, they tend to think it’s none of your business and Democrats want to ‘share their feelings’

If these are exit polls showing Tories winning and the Ailes theorem applies, it should be a blow-out.
