Make Sure You Vote!

Early numbers don't look too great, but they don't necessarily mean much. They're polls, unreliable to start with, and furthermore polls of unrepresentative samples of the population.

Don't let the early polls do to us what Dan Rather's early pronouncement of a Gore victory in Florida did to the conservatives of the Florida panhandle.

Vote. At least once.

And, if you want, share your voting experience with fellow newshawks.

Vote early, vote often.

Crap, I'm not getting any work done today.

Look... If Sen. Easter Island Head does win, we'll all have at least four years to piss and moan about it. Why the hurry?

Try again at the Corner:

"SECONDHAND INFO [Ramesh Ponnuru]
I'm told that pollsters close to the Bush campaign think that Bush is up in Florida and New Hampshire, down in Wisconsin, even in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and "doing well" in Ohio. And they don't think that the exit-poll numbers on NRO about Ohio add up. Fwiw."

"SECONDHAND INFO [Ramesh Ponnuru]
The Republican who gave it to me is a congenital pessimist and has been calling around "looking for bad news"--and not finding it."

Thank God for Google. you can find precinct addresses for every battleground state.

Exit polls? Pha! Ignore them. There was a pollster (some college cutie who wasn't pushing anything just collecting paper) outside the polls in Roswell GA. She was just standing there and you had to approach her to post your opinion.

And there's the rub. Any statistician will tell you that a self-selecting sample is completely worthless. You have to get a cross section of the fanatics and the barely committed tp get useful data. Ignore any exit poll for the same reason you would an Internet poll: only assholes with an ajend... adjen... motive vote in them.

Screw the early returns. Republicans are still at work.
