If The Exit Polls Are Right - Then Obama Has Won.....

I appreciate that is a BIG IF...

But just saying.

I would be fascinated if anyone agrees with this. But 2 to 1 new voters in Ohio voting Obama gives Obama Ohio. Ditto the numbers of independents in New Hampshire and the early count everywhere.

Obama has won?

I just don't know. I'm really nervous about this and perhaps it has to do with the way results are being reported on MSNBC.

For him not to win there needs to be a very very strange sequence of unexpected events over the rest of this evening.

Exit polls can be really, really wrong. Don't count your chicks until the eggs are hatched.
