Exit Polls Will Bite You in the Last Thing

...to exit the polls every time. ABCNews called it for Fatah last night, based on "the exit polls just in.".

Hamas' top official told Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday the Islamic militant group is ready for a partnership after defeating the ruling Fatah Party in parliamentary elections - a shocking upset sure to throw Mideast peacemaking into turmoil.

Officials in both parties said Hamas appeared to have captured a large majority of seats in Wednesday's elections. The Central Election Commission said the vote count had not been completed and that it would make an official announcement Thursday evening.

An admiral AND a president? Where did he find the time, with all those Disney cartoons he did?
