Here we go...

CNN's early exit polls were leaked.

Caution, exit polls have proven to be very unreliable.

Hahaha, my brothers in the kitchen pissed about the exit polls...

Hes a pessimistic republican. :rotfl:

If those results hold up (which is a big "if"), it would leave the Senate as 50-50, with Cheney as the tie breaker.

KY-03 is CLOSE! That's going to be the first competitive race called. Yarmuth (D) is up 1%, about 2,600 votes, with 64% reporting.

Here's CNN's Kentucky page. KY-02, 03 and 04 will all be interesting to watch (but only KY-03 has a significant number of precincts reporting yet).

Surprising. Based off this intial data, Whitehouse might just win after all.

Those polls show 6 gains and no losses. Which is 51-49

Joe Lieberman will be the deciding factor in the Senate.

Yes, you're right, I miscounted.

And he has said over and over and over again that he will caucus with the Democrats.

Keep in mind that most of the liberal media overly inflates and oversamples Democrats, giving overly optimistic Democratic exit polling data. If you'd listened to exit poll data you'd probably have thought Kerry was going to win by 20%!

Oh yeah, but many think that this is because the evil Republicans "fix" the elections and all Republican victories are fraudulent. :rolleyes:

I know this is going to hurt, but...

Observer, Fox polls show gains for Democrats in Senate

Fox News Channel is reporting live on air strong showings for Democrats in six key Senate races, with Republicans maintaining three seats. Fox failed to disclose which seats were in play, saying they didn't want to affect voter turnout.

The New York Observer is also reporting Democratic leads in four key Senate races, with no information available on others. That list follows.

RAW STORY has yet to acquire House exit polling, but will move when available.

Cardin (D) 51 - Steele 48 (R)

McCaskill (D)53 - Talent 46 (R)

DEVELOPING.....

So whining about the "liberal media" isn't going to cut it here.

Im still waiting to see what the stock markets do tomorrow.

But on key votes, he'll throw his weight to the R's, which leads to Cheney getting to be "the decider"

But do you think he'll not get something in return? He'll have better appointments than juniour senators.

It's okay, Chuck Hagel will vote with the Democrats on all Iraq issues, so Lieberman doesn't matter much there.

So it's not the evil Republicans "fixing" the elections, but the evil liberal media... "inflating" Democrat poll results?
To each his own I guess, but I do not understand the point in fixing poll results since what matters is the actual outcome :confused:

What sort of lame conspiracy is that?

MarineCorps · Nov 7, 2006

Looks like Allen might not win after all. His % keeps going down while Webbs keeps going up. Be interested if it stays that way,

Cuivienen · Nov 7, 2006

Most of the early-reporting counties in VA are in the Southwest, Allen's stronghold. Nothing at all has come from Hampton Roads or NoVA, Webb's strongholds.

Capulet · Nov 7, 2006

Allen 51% - Webb 48%

Allen going down, Webb going up.

And NoVA hasn't even reported yet.
