More on the Early Numbers

(Follow-up to this.)

As I suspected, at least some of the results being passed around are based on unscientific surveys. An email from MoveOn points to a couple of online polls and urges us all to vote in them. It's worth doing, because you know a lot of reporters will use these numbers no matter how unscientific they are. So, at least for the moment, visit CNN's home page and MSNBC's site and do your bit to influence the spin. Democracy! Yay!

[Added] The CBS numbers seem to be substantive, though. Follow the first link in Marc Ambinder's post. See also Nico Pitney's post at the HuffPo for more details.
