Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (none / 0)

Put not thy trust in exit polls.

It's really hard to get a valid population for those things.

Yes, although given a half-hour to an hour, they'll be fine. Just have to wait for them to get a beat on the early and Election-Day voters and reweight them properly.

Been through this before with you!

You just want a butt-load of Statistical data to munch, crunch, slice, and dice.

Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (none / 1)

Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (none / 1)

That's why a lot of pundits think, even if they won't say, that it's already over. Obama's win the early vote by crushing margins, and that's 25-30% of the electorate. Meanwhile, he and McCain were basically splitting people who plan to vote tomorrow.
