Quite a rubbish rule.

Same as UK, only the most we get before 10 is "Oh, we're hearing good words from such-and-such a marginal". Quite a good rule, although it doesn't help that we dont have the best track record of exit polls (outside of 2001, 05, 10). Even in 1997, the exits over-egged Labour.

So the Twittosphere was reduced to calling Hollande "Flan" and Sarko "the midget" today because of the 24 hour rule? Stupid rule.
