Exit Polls

What is an exit poll? Basically, when someone - standing 100 feet away from the polling place - asks you who you voted for. You tell them, he or she tallies it. Such polls are used most often by newspapers and television broadcasters so that they can report results before official results.

In 2004 exit polls showed Kerry leading most of the night. Well, we know how that turned out. The rumor is that news and media outlets will be citing exit polls sparingly this year, and not calling states based on it. We'll see. You know I'll be watching.

Don't forget to vote. TODAY. For Barack Obama. We need a new direction.
