I am afraid of exit poles
Remember what happened 2004 with John Kerry? All the poles showed a win then suddenly 11:00PM Bush was ahead . I was devastated.

4. No worries
David Weinberger @dweinberger Obama campaign reminds us that the exit polls due at 7:30 won't reflect the MANY early votes. Unskew the exit polls! @barackobama #election https://twitter.com/markos |

5. I don't worry about the poles; they're in poland.
Exit polls should be taken with a grain of salt because they don't reflect early voting.

18. Sorry about the spelling, Nerves,
Just wanted to say I am half Polish on my mothers side. Can I use that for an excuse for my bad spelling?
