Lotsa Numbers But Nothing to Count (Yet)

Last night, hoisting every ounce of influence Scotch I had, I convinced the Mystery Pollster to throw some numbers up on the board. I couldn't be more proud hung-over. Just kidding. But I am drunk with the number of hit's I've received from MP -- 838 today and counting. For those keeping score that's 4 times the highest number of daily hits, ever.

MP's now running through how exit polls work, and why they aren't all that reliable this early in the day. That should give the folks over at The Corner some warm fuzzies, seeing as how Drudge is reporting early exit polls favor Kerry.

And for more numbers, Rasmussen's final daily tracking poll has it Bush 50.2%, Kerry 48.5%. Real Clear Politcs Poll Average has it Bush 50%, Kerry 48.5%, and Nader 1%.

I have it Bush 0, Kerry 0, Nader 0. Counting on all fingers and toes starts in less then three hours.

UPDATE: Via Instapundit, John Fund has a handy list of when polls close, etc.
