Her opponent had very gracious things to say about her. He also seemed to be holding out an olive branch to Obama and the Democrats.

I was impressed with his speech. Grimes - not so much.

You deliberately cut off the first half of my post to further your lie.

It is clear that I am saying that the Exit Polling is good news (7.7% swing to the R side) and that the current real results are indicating that the exit polling may be more correct than the polling --- in regards to VA.

We didn't have this discussion last time, liar.

The fact that the Republican is currently up 5% with 64% of precincts reporting is in fact a positive indicator (not a guarantee) that the exit polling (+2 D) might be more accurate than the polling (+9.7% D) -- in VA.

I cut off your post because im not debating exit polls. Im talking about your flawed precinct argument . The 2 thoughts are independent because they arent related to each other.

So far Rick Scott is winning reelection, with more than 5 million votes counted.

So you agree with my main argument...

But you don't agree that the fact that the Republican is currently up 5% with 64% of precincts reporting is in fact a positive indicator (not a guarantee) that the exit polling (+2 D) might be more accurate than the polling (+9.7% D) -- in VA?

Why would you not agree with that?

Do you want to make a small friendly wager no money... I will say that the final result will be closer to the exit poll of D +2 AND you will take the RCP average +9.7%.

You won't take me up on it, because it is clear the evidence from the real results thus far show that the exit polls are more likely to be accurate than the polls. You in fact agree with 100% of my argument, but you put party politics over honesty.
