Exit poles can be added to the list of reasons not to predict results early. Bush expanded his base, which is surprising given his problems. Congress went more Republican Bush gained more popular vote than any President in history Bush knows he split the country on Iraq, so how will this impact the war on terror over the next 4 years? The Supreme Court will likely have one open seat (Renquist) and maybe as many as 4 open seats. This could be fairly dramatic and impact the country over the next 30-40 years.
As soon as Arnold gets elected President, you can get a seat!
