The following takes place between 5:16pm and 6:00pm, on the day of the national presidential elections.

At the tone the time will be real time.

This morning on my way to walk a few blocks down to go vote I asked my grandpa to come with me and he was like (something to the effect of) : "Sure, if you want me to come, I mean I don't really pay attention but... (proceeds with a racist rant that I don't feel like replicating)"

Me: "Alright, see yah later gramps."



Relatively painless procedure, I got there right before an influx of 20 or so people and didn't have to wait.

I'll be watching MSNBC all night until it's over.

How much were the exit polls off though? Was it just a couple %? Or completely misleading?

They were completely misleading. You should ignore exit polls.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

I'll maybe stay up and watch how this goes, all the best whatever happens.

Well, things are looking as good as possible in Kentucky so far. I went canvasing around noon, but nearly 100% of the people I spoke to had already voted. Turnout has been incredible. We ended up stopping our canvasing effort early because we were only really speaking to those who had already voted.

I'm headed out at about 5:30 to get the first results from one of the precincts here int own so that we can estimate the results for Lexington-Fayette. Then I am headed down to the party the Democratic Party is holding at Victorian Square. If you are in the Lexington area you really should attend. It is downtown at Victorian Square from 6pm to midnight. We will be watching results come in on a huge projection screen as well as several other TVs. Plus free food and drinks!

cnn has excited me.

 

[Jirotrom]

I'm getting flashbacks of 2004 when those exit polls came in, everyone started freaking out over a Kerry win (in the happy, "yay, bush is gone" way), and then the results started coming in and maaaaaaaaaaaaan.

im surprised anyone liked Kerry, I hated the guy... Bush as well.

Don't worry about Obama's security. Guy has sniper teams everywhere. Anyone gets close, BOOM HEADSHOT.

 

[Dever]

Finn going to sleep now. I hope by when I wake up you guys have a new, awesome president. It certainly looks that way at the moment... Thanks for not screwing this up.

I know this was posted awhile ago but this also happened to me here in TX. Of course I noticed it right away and corrected it. So its just not happening in Philly.

 

[kkaabboomm]

kentucky iraq exit polling ftl

 

[Amir0x]

Er, I think you mean economy.

no, I mean Iraq. They just had it. Almost every state except Kentucky went Obama if their issue was Iraq. 63% :lol

Nobody needs to tell me to ignore exit polls. I know what happened to Kerry. However, it is still relevant data and will be regarded as such.

 

[xS1TH L0RDx]

+2 McCain


McCAIN/PALIN GOGOGO!!!

 

[Gary Whitta]

We need a mod ban on exit polls

 

[Deleted member 20415]

This is true... Iraq... something about Rhode Island in there... crazy screens and my grandpa

9% of people who voted said terrorism was the biggest issue.



Well, we know McCain will have at least 9% of the vote!

 

[GhaleonEB]

Eh, the exit polls are largely garbage. Fun fodder, but let's not take them seriously.

I think you missed the "yay, Bush is gone" part.

 

[cw_sasuke]

SO AWESOME - IN OBAMA I TRUST

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Ignore exit polling. "It is wrong" should be your default.

Your picture isn't working. It's not letting me type shit into it.

Fix your fucking picture!

 

[Blueblur1]

Exciting.

 

[StoOgE]

StoOgE's election night party is ready to go.

I've got 3M easel board paper up to track swing states with time the state's polls close, I've got a Senate Seat Tracker AND I've got a tracker for 60! congressional races.

I am going to have the most informed/frightened guests ever!

I've also got red snapper and blue cuaca shots ready to go for guessing swing state/senate races wrong.

So they will be informed/scared/drunk.

 

[Y2Kev]

McCain's party is looking kind of lame

 

[Gary Whitta]

This thread already moves faster than an IRC channel.

 

[camineet]

+5 McCain.

My parents and all of my grandparents voted for him, except for my paternal grandpa, who abstained from voting and last week told me, "We don't need an inexperienced jive-ass [African-American] in the White House, but I'll be goddamned if I let that McCain windbag imbecile come within a mile of being President."

And so your paternal grandpa essentially voted for Obama. Cool.

ROCK OUT WITH YOUR COCKS OUT.

Obviously sarcasm, I am posting this from an executive meeting.

Clinton looks like ABSOLUTE ASS today....like FUCK

 

[Cloudy]

Man, I am literally shaking waiting for the first real numbers..

 

[bob_arctor]

I'm literally taping this under my TV tonight as I watch the results come in.

 

[Shard]

Is it me or does it look like Hillary has aged about two decades?

 

[MetatronM]

What CNN exit polls? Info plz

I know they don't matter but I'm curious

62% say economy is top issue
10% say Iraq is top issue

Of those who picked Iraq, 63% voted for Obama

 

[Grizzlyjin]

im surprised anyone liked Kerry, I hated the guy... Bush as well.

I don't know anyone that really liked Kerry. I don't have anything against him, but like most people have said, he was the lesser of two evils. Kerry seemed like a much better choice, but he ain't got nothing on Obama.
