1. Josiah Bartlett, The West Wing (Martin Sheen)
There's absolutely no way I'd vote Bartlett over Obama. Let alone the others.

These are the exits that are doing the rounds, leaked to mydd. As Nate Silver says, an unreliable instrument, but anyhow:
If those are anything like accurate ... it's big.

Seriously: Virginia BY TEN? How wrong could an exit poll be?
Unless of course it's fake and leaked to the dems by republicans to slow down the GOTV. -

Yeah - taking all three of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania would be big for Obama
-
oh, and Virginia too...

Kentucky Prez with 10% of precincts is 51-49 McCain. That's just insane.
-
has kentucky just closed up. McCain was way out front.
-
oh, and Virginia too...
If Obama wins Virginia, with any percentage, two things:
a) It's game over
b) You're looking at 350 electorate votes plus for Obama. -
Is Virginia closing up now?

Yeah but that's only 10% so far.

By the look of some of these results we mightr be seeing the effect of having a politician whose rhetoric has empowered the margins to get out and vote... In other words, the disenfranchised poor in the U.S. are out, and are voting Obama.
The implications of this for both the Democrats and the GOP are terrifying, if you think about it. Is the cosy ossified beltway ready for real democracy?

ZOMG! A projection!
Obama wins Vermont, McCain in Kentucky -
oh oh get ready......the first projection from cnn.
Obama takes Vermont
McCain takes Kentucky. -

We don't have any votes on Virginia. Polls aren't closed yet.
Barack wins Vermont, Kentucky for MCCain, just called by CNN.

Heh... you bastards.

Do you think that maybe "red state" republican voters might not bother because they feel complacent and haven't voted.
Though those demographic breakdowns are really interesting. A lot closer than the charts imply. I really want to get my hands on that data!

Oooooh, you know something we don't Craig? =>
Just that you don't need to be a fricking genius to figure out that calling Florida before the polls had even closed in the Panhandle was... shall we say, somewhat unwise with the benefit of hindsight.
And sorry for the quasi-thread jack, but isn't shit like this supposed to happening south of the Mason-Dixon Line not north of the Bombay Hills?
Botany resident Harry Lu plans to lodge a complaint with the Electoral Commission today after his mother-in-law was asked to cast her vote, and told who to vote for.
On October 24 she was taken by Labour officials to an early voting station at Panmure Library following a talk by Labour's Chinese candidate Raymond Huo.
Lu alleges elderly Chinese voters are being taken to early-voting stations by officials, coerced into casting their votes early - and being told where to put their two ticks.
Mr Lu said in Mandarin: "I feel that the Labour Party is taking advantage of the vulnerability of elderly Chinese voters."
His mother-in-law, who wanted to be known as Mrs Chen, 72, said she felt "cheated" after casting her vote because she didn't get the chance to listen to the policies of other parties.
"I don't even know who I voted for. I just followed the instructions of the Labour Party man on how to fill in my form because my English is not very good. He was standing right beside me and telling me what to write and where to put my ticks," she said in Mandarin.
Screw partisanship. This kind of nonsense is totally unacceptable, and if Pansy Wong and her team are doing the same I'll get really cross. In a funny way, I hope Lincoln Tan is playing an astoundingly perverse joke on Herald readers, because it's just depressing if true.

When do early votes get counted? Do the results from those get released as soon as polls close?

Their export poll sheets are 2 pretty dense pages of questions...

exit poll sorry -

If they're not turning out, I suspect its because Palin hasn't "energised the base" as thoroughly as conventional media wisdom would have us believe. Diddums.
