(1,493 posts)I assume that will happen some time today, but wondering about the timeframe (an hour from now, 2-3 hours or much later today). We've waited this long, so I can wait as long as it takes!

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)My feeling is that the news outlets (I'm watching mostly NBC and CNN) are holding back from making a call for a two-fold reason: First, they don't want to draw the wrath of that increasingly impotent and raging old man squatting in the White House; and second, they don't want to get out over their skis and be victimized by a miracle reversal. They're skittish because of Trump's unlikely string of victories in 2016.
