6:00 news told about an incident with a republican poll watcher here ( Duluth ), got into a fight with election judges about a guy who was filling out 10 registrations. She called the party, the party called the cops. Nothing happened. Voting was very light at our polling place. I had no wait at noon. I hear it's heavier up at the University polling places.

Has anyone been over to the John F. Kerry for President thread to check the mood? I was just wondering how they're spinning the results.

realclearpolitics.com:<<<Florida is next, Bush is up 5 points with 89% reporting. That leaves Ohio. Bush is currently up 6 points with 46% reporting. BAD NUMBERS? Why were the exit polls so badly off the mark? Why did it take the nets so long to make calls in places like VA, NC and SC? Read this from Kerry Spot: Larry Sabato was just on one of the DC-area local stations, and just said something shocking - the reason it took forever to call Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina is that the exit polls had them for Kerry. Sabato also said that the exit polls also had at least two other states "wrong" — which is not to say they had the wrong winner, but that they had results that were immediately detected as out of whack. If there was some sort of purposeful deception with the leaking of bogus exit polls, it would make Dan Rather and Memogate look like small potatoes.>>>
