Exit Polls!!!!

Ha, made you look. Actually, polling guru Mark Blumenthal cautions that exit polls aren't likely to leak this year until very late in the day:

In past years, the network consortium that conducts the exit polls distributed mid-day estimates and tabulations to hundreds of journalists that would inevitably leak. In 2006, however, the networks adopted a new policy that restricted access to a small number of analysts in a "quarantine room" for most of the day and did not release the results to the networks and subscriber news organizations until just before the polls closed (information that did ultimately leak to blogs). As far as I know, that process will remain in place today.

So if you don't see any exit polls on the blogs today, that's why.

Ha Ha Ha, not funny :-(

Yeah let's play games with our readers, little cheap tactics to get our hit numbers up so the boss thinks I'm popular.  And when several thousand readers don't come back to the site because they don't have a sense of humor about things like this, well hey that's just the price you pay for stroking people during the elections.

But don't worry Jason, I'm sure they've got a job waiting for you over at Fox propaganda :-)
