ABC is conducting very thorough Exit Polls in CT
As I exited the polls here in CT, there was a woman with ABC who had these really fancy shmancy electronic survey devices. They were touchpad LED-type devices, about the size of a Star Trek (original series) tricorder.

The survey asked at least 20-25 questions, about the Governors race (Malloy vs Destafano) and the Senatorial race (Joementum vs Lamont). They also asked about Joe's ties to Bush, questions about Bush, "did you vote FOR Ned or AGAINST Joe?" (if you answered that you voted for Ned in a prior question). Very comprehensive surveys.

Go Ned!

2. GREAT!
Hopefully, the detailed survey will help the Democrat Party to capture its agenda!

11. Excellent.
I'm expecting more evidence that exit polls are accurate everywhere but Florida and Ohio.

12. ABC's The Note says "There are no pooled network exit polls."...
It then goes on to provide estimates when the official results will be posted.
