Hey, I wasn't the one comparing this to 2000.
And besides, as i said, not everyone who comes out of the polls will actually have their vote counted. Hell, this elps Republicans more than Demos. That just the truth.

Any exit polls now are silly, since the bulk of voting happens after 5 PM when people get off of work. Plus, in races as close as today's, the importance of absentee ballots will be heightened.

Not at all, just showing what i think of Mister Drudge in general. I am surprised to see him around as much- haven't seen the man on TV since Clinton left.
Hey Boris: who would you pick for Comptroller: Hevesi of Faso?

GP: Hevesi, hands down. He would actually know what he's doing.
Drudge has had several innaccuracies before, so don't take his word for it. In 2000, several of his exit poll predictions ended up with very different results (such as Bush winning the popular vote).

Early results are just that, early results, and Drudge makes it clear that that is what he's reporting. I see no problem with it.

Well I'm off to vote and work the polls to support Spear Lancaster, Libertarian candidate for Maryland Governor. Screw off KKT and Ehrlich both.

It is hard to predict until I can see who is stuffing the ballot box. Traditionally it has been the Democrats so they have a good chance of retaining control of the Senate.

My predictions:
The democrats will lose control of the Senate, and the Republicans will build their majority in the House. I don't want to provide numbers but that is what I think...

Hmmm.... Heavy turnout in the Maryland (generally liberal) suburbs, even though it's raining pretty hard.
In DC, I voted Williams (D), Norton (D), Katana (R). Left the Shadow Senator and Shadow Rep blank over principle. Did not vote for any other Dems, including those running unopposed, over principle.
Voted no on the drug rehab over jail issue
Voted no on the elected district attorney
The Green/Statehood party had a more complete slate than the GOP.

See, I stand by my KKT prediction.
The Voter News Service is scrapping its exit polling due to technical difficulties. News may be a longtime coming.

You might be right, Boris. Some reports that rural turnout is not that heavy.

Higher than expected turnout in several states bodes well for the Democrats. This may not end up being such a disasterous night for them after all.

Odd that we would expect a disasterous night for the Dems in Bush's first midterms.

You speak unknowningly. Higher voter turnout for which political side? Anyways poll after poll after poll, from New York times to CNN shows the republicans most favored. This is a going to be an absolute disaster for the left.

Well, since there are more registered Democrats nation-wide, a higher turnout usually means more Dems are voting overall. Doesn't actually mean anything as party affiliations are just labels and many vote for whom they want, rather than straight party line.

Paul Vallas, is the one I think you mean. And Ryan does have a real good chance. Chicago Dems screwed the downstate Dem gov candidate four years ago, and the downstaters remember it well. Turnout looks to be 65% downstate, 55% Cook Co(Chicago) and 60% in the collar counties. If the downstate Dems go Ryan, he should win. BTW, those are amazing numbers for an Illinois off year election. Back in 98 those numbers were about 10% less each.

They're doing it again. CNN is calling Florida's Governor race for Bush, even though a part of the state is still voting.

Heh. Well, I am a registered Republican ... but that doesn't mean I'm going to automatically vote the the name next to the "R" on the ballot. I've got more sense than that and so do a good number of other people, I'd hope.

Hmm... Northern Virginia voters against .5% sales tax plan for roads and Dulles Metro. Thought that had broad support.
Learn something new every day.

Looks like the Democrats will make major pickups in the Governor races, but all the trends in the Senate and House "tossup" races point to a Republican "landslide" (If you only win 51-49, that's hardly the typical definition - but if you do it in ALL the races....) 
The President will have significant clout after this election. Gains in an off-year election by the party in the White House simply DON'T happen! The "Bush Bounce" appears to be real.
