Some CNN exit polls announced - by Tom Peeling
According to CNN’s first exit polls, nationwide 60 percent of voters see the economy as the most important issue in the election. Only 4 percent thought foreign policy was most important. Nationwide, CNN says, exit polls showed the 51 percent believe Mitt Romney would be best at handling the economy and 47 percent think President Obama would do better. In the battleground state of Virginia, according to CNN exit polls, 49 percent of voters wanted to see the president’s healthcare plan — ObamaCare — repealed, while 46 percent did not want to see it repealed. Also in Virginia, exit polls showed that 53 percent of voters thought Romney would better handle the economy, while 45 percent of voters thought Presidenti Obama would do a better job in the next four years.

2. Yes the rich George W Bush part 2 will give us the better economy

Because the last George W Bush did such a great job on this matter.

49% of people don't even know what is in "Obamacare."

8. Ugh..listening to NPR on the drive home tonight.

They interviewed a NH woman who voted Romney. She said," I like his business experience."

I screamed at my radio,"His business experience was sending your fecking job to China, you stupid cow!" It made me so mad.

14. Sadly yes, which is why the EC system is a joke.

300 million people (actually, given the US position in the world: 7 billion people) held hostage to the back-and-forth swaying of a few hundred thousand voters in a handful of swing states whose defining characteristics (almost by definition) are that they are not very politically involved or informed and can't make up their minds. Hooray!

9. Not Great News

But let's see how things play out.

11. Apologies

if I don't link correctly, but this seems to say otherwise, at least in reference to Obamacare.

"The Republican position on health care — led by Mitt Romney and embraced by nearly all the members of the party leadership — is to repeal the entire health care law passed by President Obama and the Democrats.

But that is not the opinion of the majority of voters, according to preliminary exit poll results. The survey shows that just a quarter of the people who voted in the election want to repeal all of Mr. Obama’s law."


Again, it's still early.

12. I see now

that I'm comparing the national results of exit polling on Obamacare to Virginia's. But maybe the better numbers nationwide can lift some moods in the meantime.

15. I fear that we will be seeing Karl Rove's 3d term.
