Kat, who is panicky? The exit polls reflect the dynamic that Republicans usually do better later in the day. The drift is in the right direction. Compare the early and late numbers:
PA Kerry +2-4 was +20 earlier
OH Kerry +1 — was +4
MI Kerry +2 — was +4
FL Kerry +1 — was +3
NH Kerry +4 — was +16
Hope this trend continues…
