Do these Exit Polls include the early voting? If so, be WARY, people!

That would really weight them towards our side. If so, one would expect them to move towards Bush as the day wore on. Even though they say typically Dem voting picks up in the afternoon, many Dems have already voted.

By some accounts, 2 million people voted early in FL (for example), and early voters have been shown to be dominated by Dems.

Just a note of caution. But perhaps the exit polls are doing just that? (polling people as they exit the polls today, and only those people?)

7. I Just Saw A Kerry 50-49 Lead From Today...

Does that mean I get to couple it with the nice lead he had coming in from early voting?

4. Exit Polls are just people AT THE POLLING PLACES.

As far as I know. Absentee ballots and early voting aren't factored in.

5. Exit Polls do NOT include early voters

So in some way these exit polls may be understating it a bit
