...exit poll data that will be used by the media on Election Day comes from one source: the National Election Pool (NEP). The NEP is a consortium of six news organizations: the Associated Press, CNN and the news divisions of ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.

That may be wise, since Cheney is not a popular man among the broader American public; his approval ratings (37% in a recent CNN poll) are lower than even the President's. But in election season the Vice President remains a big draw for conservative audiences. In this midterm election cycle, he has held 114 campaign events across the country and raised more than $40 million for the G.O.P. cause. On Wednesday morning, Cheney...
