Exit Polls a Entertainment

I know during an election my TV is tuned into CNN literally all day and night. I like to sit around and guess who is going to win what state and yell at the TV when my candidate seems to be behind. It brings a level of entertainment to the election process. Of course the system is flawed as we saw with the Truman/Dewey elections, but anyone who takes these exit polls as fact is being a little ridiculous, especially when there is a close race going. Today in the televised media exit polls, they will dell you how much of a specific district or state had reported and the polls are based on that. Until 100% is reported I would not assume which candidate has one, I would actually just wait to the following day just to be sure. I like the way the exit polling is done and displayed because it attracts people who may not be interested otherwise. The who thing is a spectacle and who doesn't enjoy a great circus act!!! When viewing exit polls it is important to take it all with a grain of salt. Nothing is concrete until it is all over. Do I think it effects the way someone may vote. Of course it does! But what doesn't effect the way people vote. The weather effects the way a person votes, what they eat that morning effects the way a person votes. That s a major reason why the media reports these exit polls, it is subliminal in a way. We discussed how most media outlets are privately owned. These owners are probably conservative or liberal, and I'm sure that has something to to with the exit polls, if even a little. I say let the entertainment of the exit polls be just that, pure entertainment. i don't think it has always been this way, but thanks to CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, etc we have a new form of reality TV!!!
