Now we suspect that many of you and our audience by medical political junkies you have this day -- on your calendar for -- years you will be up all night glued to the coverage on fox business and Fox News.
And joining us now is -- and Kelly.
-- -- -- -- The Fox News coverage -- and welcome to the program this is by the if you think -- -- out there's a lot going on.
I'm really -- I got a little -- I'm -- -- because I'm not used to asking you -- How do you do if they're -- me I'm you are ripping on here on Europe.
Late but.
Hello pot kettle what's the web site I've lived in America before I get -- -- European style OK but anyway I let that happen.
A bunch of socialist who could connect the benefits of the serious stuff -- brought you'll co anchoring our coverage tonight a way to bullets through it.
Now when can you start using exit polls to -- time.
Well what happens is a -- in the 5 o'clock hour we're gonna get a briefing.
-- the Fox News people -- gonna get a briefing from the decision desk and they'll know a lot based on the exit polls and but there's only so much that we can actually report.
Due to an agreement with all the networks we don't get out ahead of ourselves and we don't start reporting results until the polls have closed.
So you know it's up to viewers across the country to sort of try to read the -- -- and look at those what what we can report from early exit poll results.
Before we can actually talk about you know how the voting but the but the biggest thing will be.
Virginia closes vs the first swing states o'clock -- but close.
And that's a critical state because of -- doesn't win that they're very few people -- and went.
So when Virginia closes can you do and quote exit polls delicate in the state of Virginia element alone to close and you quote will know until it's in most states -- -- combination between the exit poll data and the raw vote.
And that allows the decision -- to make a prediction on who is going to win because they'll look at the -- vote.
And even though you'll see on the screen OK Romney's got.
It 70% in Obama's got 30%.
And then we project the state for Obama.
The viewers say what are you doing about as at thirty -- at seventy but that's because the decision desk will be looking at the counties that had yet to reports.
As of the rob a nation of 7030 but the counties that have yet to report would in that situation that hypothetical.
You very democratic leaning counties so they can make -- projections based on exit polls and rob vote and how they know the state.
What about what this is the finalist twitch -- election.
Because people are going to be what is tweeting all over the place very insert thank you very much indeed they're gonna have -- cut.
I know I think -- but.
What if humility cells I do.
That's out the people are gonna be tweeting around and the going to be passed and it's essentially rumors that that's going to be flying right what about exit polls -- what about one side.
You know the -- against the backdrop of room that's going on outside you'll renal.
I don't know that that's gonna drive things I mean I think that did have a big.
A fact during the debates because that's word of mouth who won who won who won who -- people sort of get a groundswell like this guy one this guy didn't.
But in terms of your vote who's that was.
Who's winning in the vote whether that's gonna make you change your voter not go to the polls.
I don't know that it's gonna have as much of an effect tonight especially because you know the results -- -- -- be coming until very late in the day so that could you really get a groundswell going on Twitter will.
But on 5 o'clock show on the Fox Business Network tonight 5 o'clock tonight we've got a guy who follows all these tweaks and he's got.
The key woods that he can factor -- -- so he knows the emotion.
And the candidates' names that are being tweeted around like a million.
It's what is very -- -- -- Iran to give -- sort of a thumbnail view on how people are feeling at the moment I just don't know of it if it's gonna change.
Votes and I do think Twitter.
Can be and in what the fees that are on Twitter because for people don't follow it it's basically like links to new sites and little of 140 character opinions that people offer.
A lot of -- for news consumption and give you sort of headline out of -- near times headline out of oxygen whenever.
But I think a lot of people look to Twitter for the same reason they look to various news stations or wherever in -- to sort of confirm what they already believe.
And so I don't know they if you have a Republican -- reading Twitter and seeing a lot of great things for Obama it's gonna change their view or vice Versa.
Cat that a couple of points of -- wanna throw action get your reaction not in the last few things gonna win because that would be inappropriate to believe so I don't know anyway -- Well we think we'd like tonight we -- -- -- we were discussing enthusiasm.
I'm saying that -- enthusiasm is with with Mitt Romney.
Don't people says no there's equal enthusiasm with President Obama you would judgment having covered this campaign was the enthusiasm line.
I think that it's clearly the momentum is behind Mitt Romney -- on the enthusiasm behind Mitt Romney but.
The Democrats are so good at getting up early -- and they have a very great get out the vote effort on Election Day.
That it doesn't matter even if they get the -- -- voters to the polls as long as the un -- voters vote for them and they have a very successful operation in doing that.
Now having said that I do think it's very interesting that Gallup poll that that the one that surveyed 9000 people to find out party identity.
Showed Republicans that that there are more Republicans this cycle they're leaning Republican the electorate as a whole.
And that is contrary to what we're seeing in the battleground states that are showing -- plus seven.
So if we really do have a more Republican electorate -- the polls are showing for whatever reason because keep in mind some people say.
The Republicans going to the polls that we did the automatic polls -- the or their human polls.
For whatever reason they don't respond as much as the dams.
Then we might be looking at some sort of Romney you know victory tonight that wasn't forecast in a lot -- states.
Well we don't know what the truth this right now we don't know that really is down plus seven and a nothing's gonna tell us until the voters actually got -- Okay one last one year old oil W Euro reformed lawyer that's right recovery we got rid of heretic but when you expect -- lawsuit filed.
Before the day is out yeah yeah yeah.
I don't know I don't I don't I think -- -- -- this -- I could be wrong but that this isn't gonna be one of those elections where it comes down -- the lawyers because I just think the polls are -- right.
Or they're not right and one man I think his product and have a decisive victory in Korea Megan Kelly we wish the best of luck tonight thank you coal -- who knows when you might have a very long night it's you know it's very exciting and I think as a news reports -- indices -- of the culmination of this event that we've all been covering for a lot.
And a lot of us are also looking for to -- -- family's -- -- -- -- -- and got everyone fantastic stuff thank you so much.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But he's lost so much what he's he's the -- you a sting may now -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- inspiration -- that -- -- -- -- I saw something in in some paper that that referred to the always -- Megyn Kelly and I said thank -- that -- thank you for not.
Running any pictures that is.
How many compliments and we confer upon -- alleged election -- go back and I I'd love.
