How early on Tuesday will we see predictions on the Internets?
The networks have agreed to wait until the polls close before calling a state I think, but is there any such agreements with various internet organizations?

Someone will call the race before lunchtime on Tuesday I bet.

3. Kerry wins. In a landslide. The question is: Will Reps LET him?
I fear what the Reps will do to steal it.

8. The People must not allow the publicans to steal it AGAIN.
We The People, in order to preserve our more perfect union, must declare our independance from the corporate globalist oligarchs and TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

6. Will the TV networks sit idly by and get scooped by the Internets by 6
hours? Or will they break their "gentlemen's agreement" and go ugly early?

7. Will anyone else besides Drudge have exit poll results?
Russert said on Imus the other day that he'd have a pretty good idea of the state of the race by about 3 pm on Tuesday.

9. Yeah, Potato Face Russert would say something that stupid.
I'm assuming PFR means 3:00 pm EST. 3:00 PM EST is 2:00 PM CST, 1:00 PM MST and 12:00 noon PST and God knows what time in Alaska and Hawaii.

The polls in Illinois are open on Tuesday from 6:00 AM through 7:00 PM. I have absolutely no doubt that Kerry will take Illinois, however, WI, IA, MN, etc are all on Central Time and while I don't know how late their polls are open, I'm guessing they're open to until at least 6:00 PM CST.

How in the sam hell would TimmyBoy have any idea of the "state of the race" by 3:00 PM EST on Tuesday? And please don't tell me exit polls, because they ain't worth a shit.
