A critical part of XP is automated acceptance testing, whether through the "Story-test driven development" of using FIT and fixtures or through some other mechansim. A whole crop of functional web testing frameworks exist of various quality:

• Cactus
• HttpUnit
• Latka
• Jameleon
• FitNesse Web Acceptance Testing Tool
• Atlassian FatCow
• Canoo WebTest
• and too many others to name.

Recently I came across an interesting approach that combines Latka with Apache JMeter's proxy record functionality and uses Maven to record a Latka script. Yeah, I know, maven, latka and jelly, the bane of a java open source, but it could be a quick way to get some web acceptance testing going.

Is this Noam Scheiber comment a valid explanation for the exit poll results? Is the conservative-base turnout the single reason for the skew? Why didn't the "Exit Polls" show that turnout earlier in the day?
