Exit polling. They interview voters as they leave the polling booth and can get a good idea of the outcome before the official returns are in. For the networks to announce so early the exit polls must be overwhelmingly in Gingrich's favor and he is probably going to post a double digit win.

My vote confirmation window kept flipping over to Gingrich.
The Paul section of the screen was also very hard to push and wouldn't select him and kept flipping to GreenGrinch (sarcasm) on the preview. I had to push so hard that I feared that the screen would crack before it would select. I went with my parents. My dad said Paul's selection was hard to push but, selected fine. My mom (old lady) had to get help because her touchscreen was calibrated so to push on Paul sent in a Gingrich.
Strange or the worst touch screens in history.

I don't know anything about the historical accuracy of the pollster. Regardless, even they believed that Gingrich would win rather easily, a conclusion also reached by the pollsters for the major networks.
It generally seems to be in line with the rest of the results from last night, aside from Ron Paul' in 2nd. If they're the only one that believed he'd finish 2nd, I tend to lean towards a more mundane explanation: they need to re-check their methodology.edit on 22-1-2012 by Byrd because: (no reason given)

I don't think it's a good strategy at all if your campaign goal is to skip focus on Florida because it is 'big and costs alot of money', and only to focus on caucus states. After Ron Paul's interview tonight, I realized that his campaign isn't really focused on winning the GOP nomination at all, it's about going to the GOP convention with some deal to make.

You know, since little Newt seems to be popular with the war mongering Christian Right in SC, a thought occured to me.
Isn't 'ol Newt due for a change in the wife catagory again? I mean he's been with this broad several years now and she's old news. Maybe he's waiting till she has cancer so he can serve her papers on her death bed.

The historical accuracy of the pollster is irrelevant, my point was that some exit polls where showing a higher percentage for Paul and what the actual outcome became. When you hear stories of dead people's names being used to vote in New Hampshire and irregularities at 53 different polling stations in Iowa in the year 2012 its quite troubling. Secure financial transactions crisscross the US daily without one cent being lost. Bottom line, in the US, in the year 2012, the votes should be secured in the same manner.edit on 22-1-2012 by Byrd because: (no reason given)

I wonder if you and people like you ever said that about Elizabeth taylor???? Or oh I dunno Angelina Jolie who wanted an open relationahip and was afraid to commit to marriage even to Brad Pit. But she's a liberal so that's okay right?
