Give Drudge Report some credit---they called it right
 
Yes, the MSM outlets are prohibited from calling an election before the polls close. So at 9 PM. they dutifully called it--"exit polls say its too close to call", and " its a 50-50 race" said Wolf Blitzer in an excited school girl voice.
That's what happens when you view thru partisan eyes. Of course Drudge is partisan, but his news is a lot more neutral than most other outlets. He got the Monica story right while the MS were still covering for Clinton.

Hours earlier, Matt Drudge gave it to Walker by 5 point ( he won by 7).


The Milwaukee Journal had already scolded Drudge saying his numbers were "wrong".

So how about so well-deserved praise for Drudge for getting it right!

Maybe everyone will realize that exit polling can be used to say almost whatever you want it to say. Its worth what it cost---nothing.

NBC called it earlier. Ed Schultz was on the verge of tears before the sun went down here.
