Please wait for the real thing (the actual votes), before getting too excited. . .

[Guaranteed]

1. Wow.

Yeah, if those are true- we just destroyed their morale.


They didn't even want it.

[Bullet1987]

2. I remember the Super Tuesday exit polls being dead wrong

[bullimiami]

11. they use exit polls everywhere to determine the accuracy of the vote count.

exit polls give the most reliable data.

its not the exit polls that are wrong, its a sign of crooked election.

i see the huffpost article says 'take it with a grain of salt ... kerry 2004"
kerry was robbed and its pretty pitiful to take the 2004 election results as an example.

3. What really sucks about this is that while I want to get excited

I just cannot let myself. Twice shy ya know.

[Fluffdaddy]

10. I'm with you. I will not be fooled like I was in 2004

[kestrel91316]

24. IKWYM.

:hug:

[maseman]

4. Iowa at 52 t0 48%

Wasn't Iowa up like 15% in polling? Weird.

[Recursion]

16. Iowa's a notoriously hard place to poll accurately

There are lots of theories why but nobody's entirely sure. It's one reason it's supported as a good first state for the primaries.

[FatDave]

19. Very weird.

IA was Obama up 12.9

[azmouse]

5. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[ej510]

12. These are just exit polls. Chillax!

[graywarrior]

6. We're hearing Obama is up by 2% in NH

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Why is iowa so low?

[windfarm]

27. Early Voting??

Is early voting reflected in the exit polls? Iowa had over 1/2 million turnout in early voting, pretty big for Iowa.

[Two Sheds]

8. HuffPo should know better than this...

exit polls...arrrrgggghhhh! After 2004, are we going to do this shit again with exit polls. Let's count the votes and celebrate then.

Now, back to the exit polls. What's up with Iowa? Double digits for weeks on end and 52-48

I tells ya, I'm konsernd.

[Fluffdaddy]

13. I'm very disappointed in HuffPo right now

[fed_up_mother]

17. Obama was campaigning in Iowa this last week - internals must have show something

that we don't know about.

Still, everything looks VERY good right now.

:)

[Two Sheds]

20. Nah. He'd spent so much time in PA, VA, FL, and OH of late that he was

due to get back to Iowa.

[City Lights]

9. I remain cautiously optimistic.

My celebration is waiting to bust wide open, but after the last two presidential elections, I will not count my chickens before they're hatched.

[steveironcity]

15. Beware

Be hopeful, but cautious. It aint over

[musicblind]

14. Shit. I really wanted us to win Georgia. :(

[blue_onyx]

22. We may still win Georgia...it's just an exit poll

[mollymongold]

18. this deperesses me because exit polls are always wrong...at least they were

[mrfrapp]

23. Exit Polls

Exit polls are always right... except in the US in 2004. Every other US election and in every election in other democratic countries the exit poll is always right.

[workinclasszero]

21. OMG! Please let it be true!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[theothersnippywshrub]

25. 2004.

Exit polls can't kill vampires. Or Tundra Trash.

[LonghornJack]

26. Careful with these Polls....

...these are not the most reliable polls. Not much scientific methodology to 'em.

Remember the '04 election when things looked like they were going Kerry's way. And then.....

Just a precaution. (But keeping my fingers crossed!)

Longhorn JackB-)

[Why Syzygy]

28. I would be very surprised if MO goes Blue.
