calm down Matt ::)  You can't compare polls with a small number of precints reporting.  It takes longer to report from the larger precints which can lean strong dem.  wait to say the polls are wrong...

The polls were practically spot on for every state. No shocking results.

I told you!!

Forget the polls. It was all about the Redskins-Steelers game. The 'Skins lost at home to the Steelers; Obama won. That makes it 18 for 19 (95%).

Hedge, you'll have to forgive MattT, Will Harris says calling elections prematurely isn't the only thing he's premature at.
