From Obama Campaign Exit polls DO NOT reflect early votes. So

it's looking good so far and when the early votes are added in it looks great!

Obama campaign reminds us that the exit polls due at 7:30 won't reflect the MANY early votes. Unskew the exit polls! @barackobama #election

Romney plus 1 in NC has got to be scaring the crap out of Repugs. Especially if the networks didn't poll early voters there. My guess is in OH, NV and IA they did as the margins seem close to what we expect the results to be based on public polling in those states.

It's 3:45 PM here, going outside to whack off the old leaves from my yucca plant to let off steam using my best and sharpest knife til it's dark. I'll BBL.

Never have seen it, let alone taken part in an exit poll in all of my 28 years of voting. Yet they pick my little town of (easily) less then 700 voters?

Wondering why, other then the fact that this town is very R area in a Blue State?

BTW- I asked, and the lady said that she was from "Edison Research"
