Can you share with those of us who are 'cable challenged'?

When I said that, all they did was tell us the economy was the top issue with 60% in exit polls.

First polls (in two states) close in seven minutes. I'll keep ya up to dated Joe.

Why bother to lend credence to exit polls?

With all the early voting that happened this election, these exit polls are practically meaningless.

Kentucky and Indiana just closed!

That is horrible news for McCain.

It's horrible news for the entire republican party.

Unless republicans like you take control of your party its doomed to extinction or irrelevance at best. Your base is aging, and the youth isn't buying the right-wing message.

Kentucky and Indiana just closed!

Not all polls, just some. All polls in those states close in 35 minutes.

That's where the Ron Paul revolution comes into play. It's the only chance conservatism has left in this country.
