People in the media get updates over the course of the day (since they are the ones doing the polling). Remember in 2000 how we heard early in the say that several states were closer than expected and this could actually be a race? Remember how Rush was telling everyone "not to panic"?
Drudge supposedly gets some of this. The good news is that exit polling is a VERY inexact "science". It can tell you alot a month later about how Hispanic males age 18-35 decided to vote, but VERY LITTLE about what the total is today.
