Why no exit polls today? Is Edwards winning?
I bet that is just what is happening.

I think Obama doesn't really have much appeal with his empty platitudes about belief and hope. And obviously Hillary is a tired old song.

3. Yes - there are exit polls but they won't (and shouldn't) be released until the polls close!

5. Exit polls are NEVER released until the polls close, so
put away your silly little conspiracy theories, and learn at least a little bit about how things work. Oh, and the rest of your post is as pathetic as your igorance.

Have a nice day

14. Why don't you try being nice. Juheessusss....
This is the sort of crap that just infuriates me. Several posts pointed out the facts quite simply and clearly without being rude, but you have to insult insult insult.

17. Simple. The OP was nasty as can be.
I saw no reason to be sweet to such an ugly little post. The OP got back what he/she put out.

6. Anybody else getting tired of the Edwards supporters' conspiracy theories?
Yeah, you got it, the reason why there are no exit polls is because Edwards is winning. :puke: :puke:

Have you ever considered the fact that the exit polls aren't out yet? :banghead:

20. They don't release exit polls until the polls are closed, after the '04 disaster.

21. They have to make sure they match the actual results of the vote before
they release them. They might need tweaking...;-)

22. Ignore the cult. They don't know how to take anything but sunshine and roses about
their candidate.

The media is making a concerted (tongue in cheek) effort not to release any exit polling data until the polls close at 7pm EST.
