If you can’t bring yourself to ignore the early exit polls…
…you can peek at the WSJ here and at Allah’s post here.
Preserve your sanity by taking ‘em all with a huge grain of salt.
***
Reader David D. is watching the exit poll reporting on cable TV and jotted down some of the snort-worthy results:
*61% think Michelle Obama will be a good first lady, but only 53% think Cindy McCain will be a good first lady.
*66% thought McCain attacked Obama unfairly, only 48% thought Obama attacked McCain unfairly.
*2% scared if Obama wins.
*30% scared if McCain wins.

Forgot to alert you to my appearance on Cavuto earlier today. To make up for that, be sure to tune in to PJTV today at around 8pm Eastern-ish. Livestream broadcast is free today and I’ll be joining the crew sometime during the hour.

When I was a young voter, I voted for McGovern. LOL.
I’m listening but ignoring….
T.U.N.E. I.T. O.U.T.
they mean Squat.
Yeah… tried that already. It didn’t work out.
Waiting for the results.
I haven’t believed any of these polls…NONE of them. They’ve been heavily skewed towards Dems.
Exit polling : reality :: fish : bicycle
I only care about one poll…
Aren’t they always skewed toward the Dems? Just a means of discouraging and attempting to deter the opposition from voting.
I voted. Whatever happens now, happens.
I haven’t looked at the exit polls (because of see above) but I think I can guess: Obama by a gazillion?
Who would have ever suspected?
I’m not planning on watching or listening to any tv news before 10:00 ET. However, if Michelle has any important news to share, I’ll be watching for it here.
I might be scared if McCain wins, but I will be horrified if Oblamma wins.
I’ll be at the Right Wing Tavern in downtown Woodstock, GA later watching the results roll in with a beer in the hand and a couple shots waiting to either celebrate or mourn…
Exit what, again?
I’m ready to start drinking now. And I’m on the west coast!
The exit polls had it for Kerry in 04
I think MICHELLE MALKIN would be an EXCELLENT First Lady!
Well I cast my vote of futility today in the very blue State of MD. In my precinct 2200 Dems v. 99 Repubs as of 6pm.
I think I’m one of 12 Republican voters in Santa Clara County.
I need to come up with an election coverage drinking game..
On Fox News I saw a footer that said 26% scared if Obama wins…don’t think that was an exit poll though.
It wasn’t 2% scared if Obama wins, it was 23% scared if Obama wins.

Not to worry. There a still a sizeable number of us bitter Americans clinging to our guns (Colt .45) and religion (Catholic), with antipathy towards blah, blah, blah….
This here’s McCain country. We’ll git’er done.
Better be non-alcoholic if you expect or want to be alive tomorrow.
I watched Megyn go over the numbers. I got a bit discouraged; but then again, those exit polls don’t reflect early voters, absentee ballots, overseas ballots, and those of us who have jobs and who have to wait to vote.
I rather have her as Speaker of the House! Third in line after Sarah Palin!
I stand corrected.
I think these two are FoxNews numbers. One fascinating poll from Fox shows that 38% of voters think Palin is qualified to be president vs. 67% for Biden. Most of you will never admit it, but Palin will be a major cause if McCain loses.
Again, FoxNews numbers here.
Yeah …. Mandate …. you are either with us or against us! You all should remember that phrase!!!!!!!
FNC is showing some VERY early numbers…from what i’m seeing right this second, its showing mccain with the popular vote. i dont expect that to be exact…but there ya go. its right on their main page, with a map you can mouse over. KY looks to be big with mccain, NH and maine for obama.
but the numbers on the site change…up and down, not just going up…one minute obama is up by 2%, then mccain is up by 3%….but yeah.
More than happy to ignore the exit polls, Mrs. Malkin.
More like the media’s view of her will be a major cause.
Actually, I’m surprised her favorable numbers are even that high considering how vile the media has been towards her. They have trashed her, her family, everything. Not based on her qualifications, but based on character assassination.
Even at this late hour i dont know what to think about Palin.
I do think the SNL stuff was incredibly vicious at times. I think Tina Fey is a…well, i cant say those things or i’d violate the ToS here
regardless, she seems like a nice woman. every now and again i get a “i’m just here” vibe from her. her record is decent enough in Alaska. i havent seen any polls about how the people in her home state feel, but…we’ll see.
Her record in Alaska is around 90% approval rating. That’s not too abstract.
Thanks for the freebie stream, Michelle!
During the 2004 election, I was watching the betting on a race/sports betting website. Bush was favored at about 8/10, when early poll results came in showing Kerry with the lead, the betting reversed, making Kerry about 3/10 and Bush 2.5/1. I bet on Bush and had a nice payoff. Better than voting.
The media didn’t create her answers about SCOTUS decisions, the media’s role in her 1rst Amdt rights, or the role of the veep.
The media didn’t spend 150k for her clothes, and try to coddle and defend her like a little girl. Sexxxxissssstttt.
The media also didn’t create the whole winking, you betcha, say it ain’t so, winky, winky, wink schtick. The media didn’t force her to spend the last month on the stump talking about Bill Ayers. The media didn’t cause prominent republicans to reject the GOP ticket because of her incompetence.
People have eyes, ears, and minds. Palin is what she is, and you can put lipstick on ………
At 9am this morning GMT+1 (That is 3am East Coast time) our good friends at BBC were saying that McCain stood “no chance” (on BBC World, the only English language radio I get here).
A. Europinions (thank the Lord) do not count. Sorry Dems..
B. Another reason never to listen to MSM generated polls.
I’m in the UK, get Fox News though, and I feel your pain conservative in europe. I told someone here I voted for McCain and the first question he asked was “Are you racist?” He was serious. I’m not too worried because in the UK a subway sandwich costs the equivalent of $13 and it costs $30 to dry clean one suit and I love all the CCTV everywhere. It’s like my own reality tv show.
Does any responsible adult really care what the BBC has to say? About anything?
Good day mistressjustice
If McCain loses because of Palin , most of us on this blogs would prefer a loss resulting from the introduction of a woman of values than choosing a Washington insider like Biden.
Obama promises Jerusalem as Palestinian capital…
Not even elected yet, and selling Israel down the river already…
Of course they don’t talk about Michelle O’s $400 hors d’oerves orders at the Waldorf Astoria of her wardrobe. Nor do they talk about B.O.’s pedicures and extravagent spending on his campaign plane, suits, etc.
I know the exit polls are distorted if this number is that low.
Geeze sounds like a parrot around here what buh bye watershed was whining about…. blah flippin blah blah blah…
Here is all that matters.
McCain MUST win Virginia. If he loses it.. it’s over.
To win the election, McCain MUST win either PA or Colorado.
If the networks can’t call PA for Obama early, that’s a big problem for Obama.
EdDantes, the UK truly is a great place – completely ruined by the Socialist nanny state. I am in the Netherlands (sometimes known as Croydon South). We have the cctv cameras as well (closed circuit television monitors where the Government monitors the streets- just so everyone in America understands – get ready – it’s coming).
We also have the expenses, admittedly, not as bad as in the UK but I eat the $10 BMT and drink a $5 coke for lunch quite a bit – because it’s the cheapest lunch to purchase here (yes, even cheaper than buying it in the grocery store).
Enjoy America.. Enjoy 50% taxes and a 19% sales tax on everything..
Enjoy Junkies sleeping in front of your house and YOU committing a crime if you force them to leave so your kids can play outside.
Enjoy the cameras, wiretaps (Europe has the most in the world) and, my personal favorite – the predictive microphones on the street that can sense when someone is angry (allows the police to come and question you before violence occurs).
Yes, Europe has all that and more! Accept Demosocialism today and you can have Russian Prostitutes standing on the corner in the middle of the country – just like Spain. This is apparently a bonus..
But, let me not forget the culture.. Ah yes, there is nothing more culturally enriching than walking by a window full of adult toys with your young children or having to explain to your kids why the girls are wearing swimsuits in the windows or why the nice song the rugby fans are singing starts each line with the F word.. Sometimes they throw in a C word – and, since they are all stupid drunk, those words are the only ones you can clearly understand..
But I digress.
The food is good. I will give it that.
Well, at least you can’t deny that the media created Obama. And believe me, they spent a whole lot more than the alleged $150K the RNC spent on clothes. At least the clothes will be donated. The media’s $$$, and poor fools who sent him $600 million to buy the US vote won’t see any of their “investment” back. But then again, Dems and liberals aren’t really good at investing, they’re just good at spending…other people’s money, that is.
A man of no accomplishments except for Chicago politics, and no management skils whatsoever yet — never ran a budget or anything in his life at all. The Manchurian Candidate…the empty suit.
It really amazes me that people like you, who repeat democratic talking points, didn’t seem to have any problems with her when she was running for governor. But now all of a sudden she’s not qualified. But Obama is, having spent the first three years as a JUNIOR Senator from IL running for President. Wow, what an accomplishment. The only thing that man know how to do is run his ego.
And then you have Biden, Mr. Gaffe a day, kept from the media at all costs (good move on Odumbo’s part), and yet, they say nothing.
Govenor Palin has achieved more in her 44 years of life than most people. Including you.
Just wait until after Obama loses all the dirt that will come popping out like wildfire…… it will make the silly clothes BS look childish. (which it is).
He’ll be too embarrased to even show his dopey looking face.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Reagan – A Time For Choosing speech. Listen to it all. We need this again.
hiya feebz, indeed, he is missed.
Wait until BHO’s bogus birth certificate cover-up blows up in his face. That’ll make Watergate look like a sophomore fraternity prank. He’s in for some real deep doo doo.
Now known as the “Kerry effect”
Foundingfathers, take heart. My husband and I, mother, grandmother, and numerous others here in a small pocket of conservative resistance voted with you in MD.
Absolutely backwards. If McCain wins, it’s ONLY because of Palin. Without her, he’s just a tired old fool who’s spent too many years pissing off his base.
Conservative,
I’ve got to agree with you. I’ve never seen ruder kids in all of my life as here in the UK.
I’ve only been here 5 months, but already am ready to head back to America. I’ve enjoyed traveling around, been to Spain, Paris, Switzerland and have yet to find a place that I enjoy as much as America.
You’re right. And the media didn’t make her claim that President Roosevelt went on TV in 1929, or say that Hillary Clinton was more qualified than Obama, or claim that her family were coal miners, and on, and on, and on….. Oh wait. That was the qualified guy, wasn’t it? Really busts your joint that she’s still more qualified to be president than the Obamessiah, though.
Mts Edge – we also may see the “Bradley Effect” here too.
news stations here are showing only 2% in Va, but McCain is ahead 58 to 42%
Ed,
It is a great place to visit.. Living here is something else entirely.
I’ve been here 3 years and been back to the States 4 times. Every time I go back I get more homesick than the time before.
There is nothing in the world that can compare to an honest to goodness cheeseburger. The best ones in Europe are made in my back yard.
Come over anytime..
Yep, I’m thinking it would be more appropriately named “the Dem effect.”
The only poles I care about are the ones that are used for dancing by pretty nak…er…um..but, I digress.
Inthetankmedialibtardkoolaidtheonehopeychangey effect.
thats the next effect name
And any other running mate would have done nothing for him.
aj,
irving, spot on!
we can shorten it to just the “Hopey Changey” effect.
He’ll be selling a lot of our allies donwn the river.
I agree. Now if he can only win!
True, the media was way too busy circling it’s wagons around Obama, defending him like a little girl.
But MsJustice, it is great to see the abject terror Democrats have of, should McCain not win, Palin delivering a major trashing to them in 2012. Otherwise there’s no explanation for the lunatic level of Dem PDS.
Within six months an Obama presidency will be correctly seen as failed and definitely one-term, as was Jimmy Carter’s. Joe Biden will look like an Old Testament prophet with his warnings that Obama will bring on at least “4 or 5″ Armaggedons and that America will soon realize Obama can’t handle the job. Even the media wonuldn’t be able to save him.
Keeping such facts in mind and considering America’s love and admiration for real people like Sarah Palin in Joe The Plumber, the Democrat’s PDS-fear is understandable.
Regarding our “good friends” the British, I got my copy of “The Economist” print this week (relax, it’s a free subscription via some useless frequent flier miles). It had a very messianic front cover shot of Obama with the caption “it’s time.” (It’s up on their front page as of today.)
Time for what? Marxism? Inexperience? Chaos?
They didn’t elaborate.
Purplepeep:
I guess we shall see.
LOL.
You’re right BAL. And guess what? I’m not qualified, or competent enough to be veep either. You’re funny.
OT:
I’m SO glad Liddy Dole lost. I’m out till tomorrow.
Goodnight all.
I’d say it’s just common sense, MsJustice. You don’t attack someone whom you do not fear or see as a threat, you just blow ‘em off.
This evening, I walked right into my polling place and no one was in line in front of me. We had a choice of electronic or paper ballots.
I had to provide a Drivers license that had to match my name/address/info which was already printed in a large bound book that we had to sign.
No one was outside to exit poll me, so I was a little disappointed. But I must say that I did very well this election cycle. I didnt receive one political solicitation or robocall. And I only had one person ask me if I was registered to vote.
The only thing out of whack, was the Obama people who set up a juice and cookie table just off of the polling place property. Now that I think about it, I should have taken all their cookies to make up for my increased tax burden.
And we received a free coffee from the nearest Starbucks with our Proof-of-Voting sticker. The Republic is still strong for one more night!
Think of it this way folks,
If your a man, would you choose to sleep with a whore that may know the pleasure arts or would you sleep only with your wife who loves you?
The libs are the whores and the conservatives are your wives.
Liberalism is venereal desease
