why no exit polls?

One way to tell if we are winning is by the exit polls. Why haven't any been reported in WA??

We need this win for the press coverage. Do we have to wait for the state convention to see who wins?

They don't report polls where Ron Paul wins, whether it be online polls or exit polls.

Exit polls cost money. As far as the media is concerned, the Republican contest is over.

there were exit polls in la today, why there and not wa?

LA did indeed have exit polls. Do they normally have exit polls for caucuses?

[Richandler]

This reminds me of Iowa. Entrance polls had Paul in 3rd Place. That didn't turn out well.

I think here NV they did. I wasn't asked to do one though.

Does anyone know when Oregon has its primary or caucus?

[Thanehand]

I don't think they have those for caucus because you're not really voting for a candidate in the end - you're electing delegates.

The preference poll is kind of like an entry poll, and that's what the media is citing as the determination for the winner.
