[I remember the initial panic on FR in 2004 when the initial reports showed a big Kerry win. When the votes were counted, Bush was re-elected]



That's because the reports are based on exit polls which have been suffering from greatly increasing amounts of sampling error over the past few elections. The amount of error in the Kerry v. Bush exit polls in 04 was LAUGHABLE yet for some reason there are those who still believe in their accuracy.

Either this is going to be a very, very bad night for Republicans, or there needs to be an investigation of exit pollsters. Look at the Corner on NRO...
