A couple of blogs have started posting speculative and unconfirmed exit poll results. Regardless of how much you want to believe them, the story of the over-arching embargo on releasing exit poll data seems more significant.

I find it mildly humorous that CNN coralled a few dozen bloggers, because part of me almost felt it was to know where they were and keep an eye on them. In this online age, I think a lot of cable nets are scared that rapid-response outlets like blogs might be able to process this data and publish it faster than they can.

The Drudge Report has proven the good/evil model of this for over a decade now. While online journalism (if you'd call Drudge a journalist, which... I... don't. No, I don't) allows faster response then television media, it also ignores any tenets of fact-checking or sourcing.

In short, it's interesting to thing, and wonder if we'll ever find out, if the exit poll embargo was because networks were worried about a bunch of bloggers releasing information that was totally wrong... or worried about a bunch of bloggers releasing information that was totally right.
