Based on CNN's exit polls, Gavin Newsom has survived his recall.

1. What was their specific quote? CNN and MSNBC both say he's leading.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Exactly that.

4. That's not "has survived".

FWIW - early (mail in) votes will favor Democrats; same day votes will favor Republicans.

5. I typed out exactly how it was said.

What the fuck do you want from me? They said he would survive if their exit polls are correct.

11. Then your post #3 was unclear ... were you saying 'exactly what BN asked'

I.E. they said he's leading

Or 'exactly what (your) OP said'.

Hence the confusion

[Johonny]

2. If he really won the exit polling on election day then it will be a blow out

because he won early voting by a lot.

6. The bigger win, the better.

It may surprise people how this recall turns out....a total backlash by Cal DIsR's - Dems, Indies, and sane Republicans.

7. Jumping the gun? I'm sure he will win also,

but msnbc is saying too early to call.

8. I am telling you what CNN said.

They said if their exit polls are correct, Newsom will survive.
