Oh Thank God.  I see he is only winning in the 60 he campaigned in.  The other 70 are ours for the taking!

Hooah!!

I live in S.C.. We fired on Fort Sumter to start the last Civil War. What should we fire on this time to get it started?

I dunno, but you'd better stock up on rounds for it now before that 500% ammo excise tax kicks in, if The One wins.

that can go both ways - Fox just teased the polls by reporting that they show 'interesting trends' - all Im interested in is how they compare to 2004.

okay - IA OH VA
New voters 2 to 1 for Obama - lower than expected.
White men - An asskicking delivered by McCain.

not bad so far...

A lot of the voters were really high.  That's part of the problem.

alright - Ive looked at the one solid demographic from Fox, White Men, and compared the figures against 2004 MSNBC figures. I checked Ohio and Virginia - the figures are almost exactly the same. (as in within 1%)

I missed the IA number from Fox - 2004 MSNBC puts white men at  52% Bush in Iowa.

Ignore the exit polling and concentrate on the real vote counts.

Exit polling is as flawed as it can be.

my mistake, it was Indiana - 54% for McCain and in 2004 it was a 62% margin for Bush according to MSNBC - a loss for sure but probably not a deadly one.

Also remember, these MSNBC numbers were adjusted to match the actual election, whereas the FOX figures are raw. Its really not that bad..

agreed - The interesting thing to me is the trend. and at this moment there is little unexpected happening. But other than being an intellectual exercise, exit poll dissection means very little.
