that it was interesting that counties sending these updates, often updated the presidential race numbers but the Senate race numbers remained the same...or is it still yet to come?

At first glance, comparing our results with the report by Webb Mealy, PhD posted on another thread, seems that our exit poll and actual results seem very close.

Not to say, that padding, as Mr. Madsen says, did not occur. It is further obscurred by the fact that overall around 25% Bush voters did not vote for Mr. Jones, which may well be due to name recognition of Mr. Jones?....

But then the question arises, why are the exit polls in the contested States so off then? Presumably, same method, same criteria, same polling company....
