Poll closing times!

Election Results Scorecard

[tomahawk]

I still feel we are going to win.

Exit polls were wrong in 2000.

They are wrong today.

[afnamvet]

Hi Howlin...


Checking in.

[BladeLWS]

They are prob more wrong this year.

[pctech]

Will this be the main thread for posting results? Or should we expect others?

[WashStateGirl]

keepin the faith

[JLS]

They sample to at the end of the day predict the results. Thus a part sample both need not predict the same and it must necessarily have a higher standard error.

looks like I picked the wrong day to stop drinking

[7mmMag@LeftCoast]

On board with 4 tracking sites open. I'll post anything of interest for Washington State Freepers.

Go W!

Go Dino!

GO Neathercut!

[Howlin]

I have NO clue........LOL.

[Carolina]

Exit polls were wrong in 2000.

And in 2002.

[HallowThisGround]

Here is my Electoral Vote map projection

Click here to see how I think it will break out. 300 Bush 235 Kerry.

[franklog]

All I heard all fall was that exit polls are bunk when turnout is high. Now all of a sudden exit polls are all anyone can talk about? The MSM is making one last election season attack.

Be the Difference -- Call 15 Voters

It's crunch time, and you can make the difference. Call 15 voters, and bring it home tonight for President.

It's easy. First, sign up to make your calls here. Once you're signed up as a Bush Volunteer, go to GeorgeWBush.com/Call/ to get your list of 15 swing state voters to encourage them to get out and VOTE.

Fox is saying that the missing explosives turned some voters; 64 percent of those people going for Kerry.

Fox is also saying that a LOT of people want change.

[Glenn]

Do they close the liquor stores where you live?

[The Hollywood Conservative]

Just to make sure I'm first-

BUSH WINS!!!!

[Toespi]

Ohio polls close in 55 minutes.

[Inspectorette]

Howlin, I'm leaving cubicle-land in about 25 minutes; Mr. Inspectorette and I are going straight to our polling place to cast our vote for President Bush. (Yes, even though this is California, we want our votes counted.) I'm a nervous wreck - have been all day with these ridiculous exit polls.

Thank goodness this will be all over with tomorrow, and President Bush will be comfortably settling into his second term in the White House.

[eternity]

Hey let's party.

[eddie willers]

Howdy....long tail cat....rocking chairs...etc.

[longtermmemmory]

bump

[Tuxedo]

Checking in from Ohio. Exit poll data being given out on Fox, shows deep divide. I am just totally shocked by that... ;)

[Carolina]

Fox is also saying that a LOT of people want change.

And didn't their pollster admit that their polling sucked?

[Jrabbit]

Like 95%

And all for Kerry.....

[dware]

Bump for a long nite (and later read)

[commish]

Keep the faith everyone. Talked to my brother in Florida, the word he is getting from Okaloosa County GOP is that they are very confident Florida is in the Bush column. Also said things look very good for Martinez as well.

As has been said, the Early Exit Polls where all way off in 2000 and 2002 -- no reason to think they are not way off this year.

Everyone around B/C and the GOP is upbeat, it may be a long night, but it will be a good night -- keep the faith!

[Diver Dave]

There's an election?!? :)

[Peach]

The MSM is trying their darndest to elect a president with that crappy weapons story.

We simply cannot let them elect a president like Kerry.

[Buford T. Justice]

looks like I picked the wrong day to stop drinking

Ted Stryker... lol

[AmericaUnited]

Stop drinking the damn koolaid!

The exit polls are from URBAN areas! The early numbers were skewed heavily with women. WHEN CALM PROFESSIONALS FACTOR THESE THINGS AND MAKE THE PROPER ADJUSTMENTS, BUSH IS DOING GREAT!!!

[HungarianGypsy]

We better win! My regularly scheduled dreams were interrupted by a dream that we won.

[onehipdad]

I put in for vacation day tomorrow months ago. 21 years of sobriety are on the line....

[mylife]

it wouldnt surprise me. this is Texas

[I'm ALL Right!]

I feel like I'm going to be sick. The waiting is killing me.

[bootless]

Prayers UP!

[mwl1]

I did calls today. NRO reporting gfrom high level GOP operative: We will win FL; we will win OH; and PA is tied.

[cmsgop]

We are going to win this, and when we do I am going to smack down alot of Flaky FReepers

[rushmom]

What do you mean?

[Jrabbit]

This was a Fox report...not the Drudge story

[gopwinsin04]

Still down -9 in PA, -4 in Michigan, -5 in Wisconsin, -3 in NH, and -1 OH/FL.( according to NRO's latest numbers..)

[Tuxedo]

Yeah, like someone wanting change would vote for no change... The biggest issue was Moral Values? WTF? This exit polling just sucks ass.

[section9]

The bastards.

FOX is the only halfway trustworthy member of the Consortium. According to Pukin' Dog, a disinformation operation has been underway since the beginning of the afternoon to try and throw this thing to Kerry by making the undecideds pick Kerry and the Republicans go home.

This was aimed at three states: Florida, Ohio, and PA. It may have worked; it may not have worked. A couple of signs, however:

1. Terry McAuliffe is not out talking smack.

2. Absolute confidence inside BC04 about the numbers, esp. in FL and OH.

3. Silence from Lurch.

We wait, of course. A personal note of disappointment:

Why can't the American People at least make up their freaking minds? This looks like another long night, which is what we didn't need in the middle of a war. That half the country could consider pulling a Kaiser Wilhelm and drop the Pilot (Bismarck) for a Senate backbencher makes me pull my hair out.

Oh well, should Bush lose this evening, I have one consolation: the People get the kind of Government they deserve.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Quilla]

I'm with you. I can't take watching tv this evening, so I've opened a bottle of Merlot and will enjoy this thread. I gotta know one thing, do y'all think anyone will post any vanity threads this evening? ;-)

[Theresawithanh]

" (Yes, even though this is California, we want our votes counted.)" Exactly the way I feel! It felt so good to punch the square for Bush/Cheney! I went back and reviewed my ballot though, to make sure it had registered! SpOoKy things can happen, even a day or two after Halloween.

FOUR MORE YEARS!

[Howlin]

Who the hell still believes NRO after today?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Is that right? Most polls in Kentucky and Indiana closed 10 minutes ago?

[kcvl]

If you don't want to stomp your television don't turn on MSNBC! Chris Matthews is showing voters who have been "disenfranchised" today. I won't even describe them because I'm sure you can imagine. It is maddening!

We must be doing great because Chris looks beat! They are absolutely trying to sway this election!!!
