Hold Your Breath. Ignore the Exit Polls...

The Horserace Blog makes a very good point here:

"The raw numbers trickling out are just that...raw. Exit polling is heavily 'scrubbed' at the end of the day to account for turnout in each precinct, to account for pre-existing demographic sensibilities (i.e. samples are re-jiggered for sex, race, income, etc). These raw numbers obviously cannot be scrubbed in this matter. This means that the MOE is so high for Bush and Kerry that they are basically useless. What's more...you don't know what kind of data out there is reliable or not -- it is all rumour and innuendo.

I know you are all desperate for information, but this is not what you are looking for. Please no posting of exit polling data on this site."

Hang in there..........this thing is going to go well for Bush. The media is making every attempt they can to support Kerry. That's all that is going on at this early stage of the day.
