Exit Polls: Why The Media Is A Joke — So I am watching Tweety to get a read on how the early exit polls are going (if Tweety is very happy, the exit polls provide good news for Obama), not that unweighted early exit polls are that helpful. But I got instead yet another of example of how stupid the Media can be.
