The election, exit polls, updates and returns

(mods, couldn't find anything like this, am surprised. If there is, please delete)

MSNBC right now, they're talking about a 78% Obama vs a 22% Romney exit poll.

Bias much?

Is this what we are going to see tonight?

More as it comes in.

I thought I had seen an article that said the networks had agreed to shield any exit poll results until the polls in that state closed.

Would love to see that. I guess MSNBC didn't sign?

Reminds me of a joke I heard, During the day before 5 it will show Obama, and after 5, when everyone gets off work to vote, it will be Romney , lol.

I heard on the radio just a bit ago, (here in Ohio), that Conservative voting is up 18% so far, while Liberal voting is down 4% in the counties statewide.

Of course, it's still early.

But I see it as good news and hope the momentum keeps going.

Hee hee. Had to.

I hate this political divide. Seems people hate, just to hate. Like hate is the only thing they feel so they are just going with it.

I'm watching AFN. So I get 1 hour of MSNBC, 1 hour FOX, 1 hour CNN

Rinse, repeat.

A lot of voters are mailing their ballots today; which means it won't be counted until Wednesday or Thursday; so I am thinking we may not know until Friday; am I wrong about this?

Polls start closing in 3 hours. 1800 EST

Just an update.

Depends on how close the current voting is. If 100 ballots were sent out and the race is within that "100" votes, then yup, they won't call it.

In my humble. . .

I mentioned this in another thread and it was cut out and I was warned. Why? I have no idea. So I'll mention it again.

There was a CNN exit poll guy at my place. I hung around and watched him for about 45 minutes.

He was chasing down the stereotypical Democrat types ie: folks dressed like art teachers, caricature homosexuals and college-aged girls.

The guy was paying no attention whatsoever to the stiff suit types or the blue collar types and even shrinked away from an elderly "biker" couple as they were exiting.

I'm assuming that's offensive to warrant the warning? To who? It's what was happening.

My point in posting it originally: Possibly rigging exit polls by selective polling? Maybe he just felt more comfortable approaching those people rather than the other people?

I can imagine that the game will be played by partisan folks on both sides until the bitter end.

Didn't Obama state today NOT to listen to exit polls and to maintain enthusiasm??

Will try to find. . .

Found!
