Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.
Wow! And Lake County is very RED. Not good.
I just packed up and moved to Texas.....come on down!!!
errrrr, haven't changed the screen name though. It's my nome de guerre :)
This reminds me of the Mexican election in July!
Hugh Hewitt, just called Rove magnificent &AS+@RD !
Well, that's about the same time they started backtracking in 2004.
Webb has to win 55.85% of remaining 26.2% of precincts to tie Allen.
Or Girlie Man Bell, for that matter.
He can be fairly honest - BUT AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST PRECINCT REPORTS TO CONCEDE. Not a single vote is in yet. Good grief!
*Rolling my eyes*
U.S. Senator Precincts Reporting 90 of 3746
Talent, REP 24,870
48.2%
McCaskill, DEM 24,812
48.1%
Hate to say this, but I don't think Steele is going to pull it out. I just ran into a campaign worker and he said Steele took a beating in a couple of precincts. But...things are looking good for Ehrlich. Everyone is heading over to the Hyatt.
Gov Kinky would have been fun!
And Willy Nelson as the energy Czar!
yeah and brit just said this isn't really a loss for the dems. Um, yes it is and he just pissed me off!

Well Blackwell conceded before the polls closed. heheh SO I guess they are OK on that one. Taft really hurt us.
CNN'S coverage is (DUH) ULTRA DEMOCRATIC TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, Allen has an 18,000 vote lead? ABC Radio News just said that the race was "a toss-up." D*** media.
Allen's looking good, has a nice lead, lets just hope NOVA doesn't mess that up...

They ask people how they voted when they come out the door of the polling places, then measure the results against how that particular precinct did last time.
It's supposed to work because the samples are quite large compared to phone polls. I have now idea how they calculate for absentee voters, which has gotten to be as much as 30% of the electorate in some areas and heavily GOP. And, if you recall, in 2004, the exit polls were worthless. The pressure is on the networks to be "the first to call" which may lead to some serious gambling based on misperceptions. Rove has warned not to put too much weight on exit polls This Year.
