"Chafee out in RI. I think we're looking at a Dem Senate."

Chafee was a dim rino anyway. No difference in that state. He always voted dim.

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.

And they've found that who they send out to collect the data makes a HUGE difference in the results - both in who actually gets selected to be polled, and how they respond. For example, when they send out female college coeds, there is an oversampling of young males, who seem to vote Democratic far more than their counterparts in precincts where exit pollers are older.

[texicali]

they've already counted the NoVa votes and Allen held his ground there....

[nutmeg]

Crap... Gov. Carcieri is losing in RI. Chafee is gone...

Fox News just called Maryland for the Democrats.
Looks like all the Federal employees brought out their dead relatives to vote Democrat.

[OldFriend]

LOLOL......no problem. I am in shock, to say the least. Every now and then someone posts something positive and I take a breath.

Corker is only up 51-48 now. WTF???? Wow

[JerseyDvl]

They are reporting on the blogosphere now on Fox!
They think we are bitching about evit polls and remaining overly optimistic.
Screw them.

[snarkytart]

dont forget there are tens of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted in VA, we might not know VA till the morning.

Same in MD, a record number of Absentee ballads..180,000 I think!

[streetpreacher]

If that's true and it appears it might, then we've just lost the Southern border.

If the RATS take power tonight, I blame it entirely on the MSM and their atrocious coverage of the GOP and President Bush.

Just about every ad here in Maryland attacking Steele and Ehrlich had to do with their alignment with Bush. Nope, the Dems didn't say what their new ideas were, they just complained that Steele and Ehrlich were Bush's foot soldiers.

[penowa]

If we're going to have a bloodbath, then I hope we get rid of all the deadwood not just the good people like Santorum. That's why.

[maxter]

TURN FOX off. Let them wonder why their ratings are in the gutter on election night.

[got_moab?]

official results coming in now, Whitehouse up 57/43 over Chafee seems to mirroring the exits.

If the Iraqis cared they would be turning in the assassins they kill and wound our soldiers. They don't care and we should have learned from Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo that the blood of americans is shed in vain when trying to bring democracy to peoples that have not the slightest idea what it is or means. It does not work and GWB should have known that.

[lepton]

Oh man, Schlesinger has 10 PERCENT! This has to be the worst major party candidate performance ever.

It's because Republicans don't want Lamont to win.

[oceanview]

it may come down to the absentee and military votes for Allen.
