65. Hi Allycat, I was talking about the change in the exit polls on CNN that night in another thread and

a DUer there said they are trying to track the media reports on election night. I could not remember if I actually heard that the Repubs had won the State Senate, but I know I thought they had, until I received the email posted in the OP. That was a pleasant surprise as no one seemed to be talking about it.

But, do you remember which news network you were watching that night when they claimed the Repubs had won the Senate? I would like to give the info to the DUer who is trying to research the reporting. Thanks in advance
