So much for the polls that showed Romney leading in CA. McCain won 42 to 33%.

It wasn't even close.

How is it that they are able to "call" states when only 15% of the returns are in? Are they just basing all of that on the trends in the voter turn out and exit polls?

Obviously now most of the returns are in and McCain still has a good lead.

Zogby has been way off. It is shocking how poorly they have done in some of these races. In California for the Dems, they were basically off by 23 points.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

Exit polls and results from certain "bellwether" precincts or counties that past history have shown reflect the state as a whole.
