Media is LOATHE to call it |
|
If it had been a Republican, they'd have called this an hour and a half ago.

1. They shouldn't call till CA is done voting. |
|
If there's a major suppression of the vote there due to calling the race, it could influence things.

3. Silly goose. They won't call it until the west coast is done voting. |
|
Didn't they do that for Reagan or someone and decided they wouldn't do it again.

4. Olberman tried to call it 20 minutes ago |
|
He went through the known likely Obama states (Ca, Or, Wa, Hi) and showed Obama was already at 270, but the rest of the MSNBC crew laughed nervously and it wasnt mentioned again.

7. CNN still hasn't given Obama New Mexico |
|
Personally, I'd rather they wait until they know whether the urban areas will make a difference before calling a state.
