Exit Poll Mania!

Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 6:55 PM

Update: Obviously, if you're in the Panhandle and polls haven't closed yet, go vote! This is all political gossip, and it looks like it's close enough for every vote to count tonight. Enjoy your power!

Jim Geraghty's messing with the inTrade numbers by posting this info, which is either first or second wave exits:

The first wave of exit poll numbers, including absentees: McCain 34.3 percent, Romney 32.6 percent, Giuliani 15.3 percent, Huckabee 12 percent.
UPDATE: Interestingly a second source — yes, guardians of the exit poll data, I have not one but two spies within your ranks! — tells me these are the "second wave" numbers. Also, this source heard these numbers DON'T include the absentee voters.

McCain-- he of the mischaracterization of Romney's Iraq War views-- was whining about negative campaigning right down to the wire.

I wonder if you're still allowed to get in a prediction for the chance to win a Forbes subscription...

Romney outspent McCain 3-to-1 in Florida, which is perhaps the reason he kept his stump attacks fairly tame:

"There's one candidate who has said the economy is not his strong suit. Well, it's my strong suit!"

Not exactly fightin' words. Stop complaining, Mac.

Update: Late-deciders go for McCain and Romney evenly, according to Fox.

Seniors and Hispanics going for McCain in a big way.

Conservatives and those who care about illegal immigration going with Romney.

I hope the SuperBowl is this good
Even if Tom Brady broke Dean Barnett's heart today by pledging his love of all things Gorecle. Almost enough to make Dean switch to the Giants.

Where's the Troll-B-Gone?
The quality of the trolls have dropped almost as badly as the temperature here in the land of soon-to-be-ice cream and frozen beer. Neck-and-neck for both 1st and 3rd with the early polls in. Come on, Panhandle; you have the power to stop McCain and your choice of Giuliani and Huckabee.

Win or lose (Romney fans) ponder this:
As for Mr. Romney—who may still win, but who has underperformed in the early going—he certainly was a dutiful spokesman for every possible item on the conservative wish list, but perhaps he was a bit too dutiful. His penchant for pandering grew to ludicrous proportions as he not only reversed himself on a long list of policy positions but cooked up a distinctly unconservative proposal for rescuing Michigan’s auto industry just in time for its primary. When he finally reverted to the “real” Mitt Romney—an optimistic businessman with no compunctions about directing an activist government—it was clear that even his newly minted conservative persona was in a Bain-like turnaround. http://www.observer.com/2008/what-will-rush-hugh-say-if-mcc ain-wins
