drudge had access to the information from the VNS or provided a link during 2000 ... i do not remember the details but i would expect drudge to have knowledge of exit poll data after either 2pm or 3pm est ...

My recollection is that Drudge caused a stir (imagine that!) by saying he was going to publish the raw data. However, I think his sight crashed early in the day and never got back up until the networks were in full swing.
