My friends and I just screamed so loud at that Montana number that my neighbor banged on the wall and someone’s two year old started crying.
We’ve been drinking WAY too much for this.
I know I shouldn’t be excited but for God’s sake.
Settle down, guys. Settle down.
I just heard Michael Barone say about Indiana that (from memory):
The Republican turnout machine may have worked very well but some of their voters may not have voted Republican.
Maybe they’re conservatives. Wouldn’t it be heavenly if Karl Rove turned out large numbers of voters who went on to vote Democratic or Independent?
Christianist John Hostettler loses.
More data suggesting high turnout.
From Doug Ireland’s source. I cannot independently verify these, they may not pan out, etc., etc., but I see no reason not to pass them on to you.

NOT ONLY ALL POLLS ARE GARBAGE BUT … the exit polls are garbage too. I’m not saying it’s not a Democratic night. I’ve made no predictions this cycle and I’m not going to start now. But these numbers are crazy out of whack, is my sense.
Chill, JPod. It’s early. And these numbers are not to be trusted. Why so touchy so soon?
These were wrong in 2004 and they’re early. Early exits are the least reliable. But if they pan out, it’s a bloodbath:
Casey 61 – Santorum 38
Cardin 51 – Steele 48
McCaskill 53 – Talent 46
Webb 55 – Allen 45
