During primary season this past winter, three Web sites -- Slate, National Review Online and the Drudge Report -- broke ranks with their media peers by revealing exit-poll winners before the voting booths had closed. But come next Tuesday, only Matt Drudge will risk the wrath of the journalistic establishment and possibly of the courts by breaking Election Day news prematurely.

'' 'If Dan Rather knows, Main Street has the right to know,' is what I will say on the courthouse steps,'' Drudge writes in an e-mail to Inside. ''I'm running with everything.''

Slate and National Review Online, though, have decided against trying to obtain exit polling data from subscribers to the Voter News Service -- a consortium of TV networks, cable news channels and the Associated Press. These results are sent to about 100 subscribers at 2 p.m. on Election Day, with periodic updates throughout the day. The official subscribers are under an 8 p.m. embargo, so the renegade outlets were able to post the information hours earlier.
