Do not, under any circumstances, believe any exit polls you hear. Just don't listen. Tell your friends not to listen.

Exit polls are always wrong, and they always favor Democrats. The are---or appear to be---designed specifically to dampen GOP turnout by creating a "why bother, it's over" kind of mood.

Don't let them get away with it

We also need to get pollwatching credentials (from any area GOP campaign), move around on Election Day from poll to poll, have cell phone in hand with the phone number of your STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS number already programmed in, digital still or video camera if possible to videotape the "perps". This will help stem the tide of fraudulent electioneering, etc. at the polls..

Don't talk about exit polls. If you hear other people talking about them, set them straight. Don't post them in forums, or on your blog, or anywhere. Don't think about them... don't even poke them with a stick.

On a similar matter: Do NOT be swayed or dismayed by early calls in ANY races. First of all, they are often wrong and have to be retracted later. Second of all---just because someone in Indiana is doing badly does not mean that someone in Arizona has to! Vote vote vote.

The early call of Florida in 2000 probably cost Bush 8000 votes in the Florida panhandle alone. Think about how many votes were NOT cast, out of despair, in every other precinct in the nation!

Other things to watch out for:
Left-wing poll watchers
and lawyers

Now stop reading news and go vote! Vote before work, if you can, instead of after. Please tell your like-minded friends to do the same. If you can, do some GOTV stuff: Make a few calls from home, or call your local GOP office and go help them out. Oh, and pray for rain!

It's just hard to compete honestly, you have to be willing to steal elections these days..

The exit polls are sealed off so if you hear any exit polls, someone's lying to you.

And Exit Polls are not always wrong. They are snapshots based on that moment in time. Considering how people vote in periodic spurts, these numbers are only indicators of that moment in time.

I love how spin machines are already in overdrive and the polls have only been opened a couple of hours.

:stop: I guess you assume that everyone is a republican. Sorry but I not. I hope the GGOP loses across the board to give this country real leadership instead of trying to always scare someone.

No Cibai is a socialist from England :dance2: ...he is only poking fun at someone having to prove who they are in order to vote.:peace2:

"Real" leadership, yeah that was what I was thinking.

Trade one piece of garbage for another..........:whistling:

Why even have exit polls? In very close races, they cannot be accurate enough. In races that are not close, why would they be needed?

Really this is no differerent to the relationship all news has to "truth." Especially since "news" is now a 24/7/365 enterprise.

What exit polls are really good for is for political consultants to get feedback from people who actually voted. What messages worked, which didn't the issues of real importance, etc. Remember after the 02 and 04 elections when the dhimmies suddenly discovered that there are voters who take their religion seriously - you'd have thought they had just found some pre-historic tribe somewhere.

I chuckled.

Anyway, all that was a result of exit polls where people pointed out that between the two parties the dhimmes seem more hostile to religious belief.

As I said before, they're snap shots for trends. It is not a final gauge of the outcome but reflects trends that could easily change. Republicans tend to vote first thing in the morning and last thing in the day. Dems typically vote in the middle. It's a gauge in changes in trends that reflect an onslaught or a close call. With very active GOTV efforts all these are good for now is letting campaigns know if they need to fill buses or make those annoying last minute phone calls.

Just got home early and and the phone rang with an "Robo-call" from the GA GOP . . . Things are tight in the 8th district.

I've been butting heads with a few Marshall people who have been hell-bent on disproving a poll done earlier in October. Those people just don't understand that there are educated people running some polls out there. They seem to think that poll showing Collins up was done in the old 8th. They swear up and down it was on incorrect data. But I swear up and down it was done on the right district....considering I've seen the actual data, I'd say they need to stick to whining about voter suppression or something rather than how the polls are wrong. Their poll showed Marshall up by 15 points. I'd love to see the breakdown on that one.

I think the race will go Marshall's way, but it has tightened if only for the fact that the GOP has poured money in here.

I really haven't been all that impressed with Collins as a candidate. Marshall is pretty good on his feet even if he is an arrogant SOB who is completely faking out his constituents by positioning himself as a fake conservative.
