For they reveal that Iraq is not the #1 concern among voters.

Now Schneider states that 80% of Americans feel their votes will be counted.

Does this seem weird to anyone else besides me?

1. Meh.
The war in Iraq IS corruption in the government.

5. Corruption + Iraq still equals a majority of Democratic voters
I would say that the economy leans to us, but not overwhelmingly.

3. I'd be glad if Iraq were not the #1 concern

My biggest concern is taking back America and fixing OUR country, and I hope most Americans feel the same.

6. I want some REAL exit polls! Stats from races
I hate how everything is hush hush this year

Hannity is spreading bullcrap that idiots like Steele and DeWine are actually close, we need to show them the numbers and slap them upside the head with reality. Exit polls are right!

9. Since when is Iraq not the #1 concern?
Too little. Too late. How in the hell do they expect to sell this one? For MONTHS, every poll taken has clearly shown that Iraq is the biggest concern of Americans. Now, succenly, on election day the polls show that's NOT the case?

Give me a break.

12. Think though..........
Imagine yourself someone who doesn't normally vote mid-terms being questioned in an exit poll........what turned you out this time? Was it Iraq or the corrupt crank pullers that put us there? Is it semantics from MSM doing damage control? Probably.

10. You watching CNN, I take it?
I agree with JC: I want to see the final numbers.

As for "weirdness," nothing in American politics can "weird" me out anymore.

16. Why, the top four issues are corruption, Iraq, the economy and social security, ALL OUR ISSUES
We are the party with the favored positions on ALL FOUR top issues.

We are in very, very solid shape.
