8. I know....

3. Kirk by 6? and Manchin by 7. Seems unlikely.

30. I think you're right.
And I think Rahall's going to get it done, too.

4. Reid may actually pull it out in Nevada.
Or he could lose a really close race. In fact, it may not be decided tonight if it is that close.

25. No - 59 and we did a huge amount
The various stimulus bills saved the country and we passed HCR.

7. I was reading that the exit polls are structurally based on the pre-election polls
if the assumptions that they made on the original polls were wrong, the exit polls would be similarly wrong.

10. Nowadays they need 60 anyway. If the Repubs got it, the Dems could filibuster like was done to them.

16. Except that when the pugs were in the Dems did not filibuster.
I wish they had. This is said all of the time, but rarely happens.

12. I remember exit polls about Kerry in Ohio in 2004.
Funny how that one worked out.

No trust here.

29. Same here
I remember the euphoria hearing them in the democratic headquarters in my county and feeling an incredible weight removed. I was very impressed with Kerry - and had become so more and more as I learned more. (Though I became even more impressed over the next 5 years.) So, it was incredible thinking of him and the wonderful Teresa in the White House. Even more than Obama, I trusted Kerry on foreign policy and resolving the wars as best he could. I picked up dinner for my family, drove home to watch the results .. and then ended up incredibly disappointed.

The fact is that the polls in many of those places are not closed. This means their estimates of who voted can't be that accurate.

19. I hope that the Badger state can get a brain and start voting NOW!
They've probably been paying too much attention to football games over the last two weeks instead of who they're voting for. As a Hawkeye fan, I'm having more reasons to dislike Badger people recently. Fighting Bob Follet would be turning over in his grave now.

15. Any Wyden poll numbers yet?...
Not that I'm worried at all, but just wanted to know when Oregon polling gets in to gear. Would like to see how Kitzhaber's doing soon here in addition to the rest of the news. I guess no news from Hawaii or Alaska either yet, which would be more understandable.

17. Bennet winning would be huge--fending off Ken Buck
would mean turnout was higher out there than we thought.

23. Closer than expected so maybe we can infer a smaller loss in the house.
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 06:18 PM by pa28
I'm hoping we can stay off the panic button for a while longer. Many west coast Democrats have yet to vote.

27. CQ Political Wire: Extreme caution is advised in attempting to interpret these results
Senate Exit Polls

Here are the leaked exit polls for key U.S. Senate races as reported by the Drudge Report and Huffington Post:

Blumenthal (D-CT) +8
Rubio (R-FL) +21
Blunt (R-MO) +10
Boxer (D-CA) +8
Kirk (R-IL) +6
Paul (R-KY) +11
NV--EVEN
Bennet (D-CO) +2
Toomey (R-PA) +4
Murray (D-WA) +6
Manchin (D-WV) +7
Johnson (R-WI) +5

Extreme caution is advised in attempting to interpret these results.

Interestingly, Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) campaign is confident they have a lead among those who voted early so a tie among today's voters would be good news for him. Based on the exit polls, pollster Frank Luntz thinks Reid will win.
