Exit polling is worthless. But I'll take those numbers.
I am now embedded in front of my TV. Bourbon is imminent.

MSNBC exit polls say 37% want change and 31% want values. Next was experience, but I didn't catch the number.
79% say country is on the wrong track.
28% approve of Bush.
46% have seen the trailer for "Nailin' Paylin" online.

Maybe I heard incorrectly, is Obama's lead in IN *not* including the tallies from the Democrat areas?

I was thinking...has anyone here actually ever been interviewed by an exist pollster? I haven't.

Jefferson County (Louisville) just reported, which is what changed it. Obama will probably carry Jefferson and Fayette (Lexington). McCain will carry the state safely once the rural counties report in.
McConnell will probably survive, but it'll be close.
This is sounding encouraging thus far.
Scarborough is calling this a "total repudiation of the Republican brand." At 7:07. With two states called.

Pat Buchanan's corpse has been wheeled into the studio.
He says that this could be a "transformational" election like 1980 or 1932. He says the "conservative era" is over and the "liberal era" has begun.
Holy shit.

I noticed. Reminds me of Novak in 2004.

I'm glad I'm not watching CNN, because they're in HD now and that sounds frightening.

I was given an "entry" interview today out on the street, but once I told them how I was voting on a couple of the props, they smiled at me, gave me a couple of stickers and went to the next person. I was totally ignored on exit.

You just missed the gheyest thing ever. Wolf Blitzer almost pissed his pants because he's so excited about the fact that he was talking to Jessica Yellin as a "hologram."
It looked like some outtake from
Tron.

Oh, and one advantage of living in the middle of nowhere: no wait to vote. My wife and I were out of there in less than five minutes.

I love seeing my state float out there all alone in blood red.
