The polls are closed
But, unsurprisingly, no "call" yet from Wolf Blitzer, Wolf Blitzer. He says, "We can characterize this race right now as very competitive. We cannot project a winner based on the exit poll numbers alone." I'm shocked, shocked.
Remember, folks: the fact that it's "competitive based on the exit polls" doesn't mean it'll actually be close in the end. It's probably fair to say that it won't be a mega-blowout (like, 15 points or more), but beyond that, this alleged "competitiveness" means very little. CNN initially characterized Ohio as "competitive," too, based on the exit polls.
P.S. More meaningful than leaked exit poll numbers or CNN projections of "competitiveness": my wardrobe choice! I'm wearing my lucky Obama shirt tonight. I've worn it on every election night from Super Tuesday on, except March 4, when I forgot to wear it. So, if the shirt's luck holds, maybe those leaked numbers are right, after all! :)
Incidentally, in a brilliant bit of strategery :), I've positioned myself so that, no matter what happens tonight, I predicted it! If Hillary performs up to expectations or better, I was right with my widely linked "don't trust the exit polls" posts. On the other hand, if Obama exceeds expectations, I was right with my Sullylanched "backlash" post! I can't lose! Heh.
