They’re actually counting the eastern time zone votes on Fox while voting coninues [sic] in the central time zone.

CNN too. 2000 election reporting tactics all over again.

Were it but only exit polling. They’re actually counting the eastern time zone votes on Fox while voting coninues in the central time zone.

Faux News, honorary member of the MSM, has just confirmed my view that it is no longer worth watching.

I hope you'll permit a little delayed exit polling data. After all, it helps to throw the elections to the media choice candidate.

Wednesday, November 8, 2000; 2:05 PM Samples of voters that contained too many Democrats, a mysterious miscount of the votes in the Jacksonville area and some bad assumptions led Voter News Service, the television network exit poll consortium, to . . . declare Vice President Gore the winner in Florida shortly before 8 p.m. – and then take it back two hours later . . . There was another problem that led to the Gore call: "The vote tabulation also favored Gore and it should not have. It was either a miscount or a mis-entry of the data. I don't know who exactly made the mistake, VNS or the county."

If FL goes for Romney, then goes to the dems in the general, I will add them to my vacation-boycotted states. I don’t spend my money in states that go liberal, sanctuary, don’t enforce immigration laws, deny 2nd amendment rights, etc.

I love Wyoming(doesn’t hurt that they have Yellowstone), Montana, Idaho, Oklahoma(soon to be added to the list of states with no income tax!).

after tonight there will be the usual crap on here and from the talking heads and establishment of we must unite to defeat obama.

Well they have seriously made a bad mistake as they over played their hand and have stepper right over us, ignored us and treated us like we’re idiots.

I bet they even put a decent VP on the ticket and then think many of the base will now vote for their guy.

Well my wife, my family and I are writing in come election time and the vote will not be for Romney ever

It’s public information, so why shouldn’t they report it. It looks like a blow out for Mitt.

Drudge and Team Romney’s objective with the exit poll information is to suppress the conservative Panhandle vote which votes until 8pm.

Same thing Gore tried to do to Bush.

This is the reason the Bush / Gore race was tight. The moron schmucks in the MSM announced Gore winner when the pan handle hadn't voted yet!!!

It almost worked before, so they thought they should try it again. This is so crazy! If anyone had any doubt whatsoever about the MSM, especially and including Fox, are totally in the tank, this should put doubt to rest.

Not saying its illegal. During this past presidential election they refrained from doing it. Probably more as a courtesy for those yet to vote. But Fox is cheerleading rather than reporting and today they seem otherwise inclined.

Arizona is a wonderful vacation destination.

(I suggest avoiding the Arizona during the months of June, July, and August.)

A brokered convention is probably our only hope of avoiding Obammy’s second term, or maybe even worse — Mittens’ first term.
