I cannot fucking believe that anyone is freaking out over exit polls taken in the middle of the day. Since some of actually work for a living, we're forced to vote before or after our day job. Consequently, the people voting in the middle of the day tend to be

1) more female than the population as a whole
2) more unemployed than the population as a whole

Yeah, that's a representative sample of the total electorate.

Listen: if you're actually stupid enough to be influenced by the midday numbers, this country is in deep shit. Especially when some of those numbers are completely out of whack with reality. Kerry will probably win Pennsylvania, but only crack heads like Terry McAuliffe could actually look at a poll giving Kerry a 20 point lead and go, "Looks right to me." Just go vote and let the numbers sort themselves out the way they always do.

I cannot believe some people are this effing stupid.

Update: Mrs. du Toit makes a simliar point in her post:

ItÂ’s fairly obvious that the exit polls, taken in the morning, were wrong. And why would Republicans vote later in the day, rather than earlier? Because Republicans have jobs. DUH!
