The morning shows are proclaiming Brown the victor already
Little Georgie on GMA pretty much said it's over and Chuck Todd made no bones when he said this would be the third election where "independents" repudiated the democrats (the others being VA and NJ). CBS had Steele on grinning ear to ear. Where is our DNC chairman? I never see him. When Dean was DNC chair he was on TV all the time.

Why doesn't the media wait until the votes are counted. What they are trying to do is keep people from voting to help Brown. If they convince enough people it's over then some people might think, "Well, why should I go out on a cold, snowy day and vote."

1. And they never tell you why...
...they never explain that they are ONLY looking at the Independent breakdown, and not the entire electorate...assholes.

4. Explain this
Coakley was way way ahead. Then the poll companies and the press moved into the fray and all of a sudden she was loosing falling going to the bottom. Why are they allowed to keep doing this crap. In every single one of the elections the same thing happens. The Democrat is leading, Gallup, Rasmussen and now this PPP moves in and they proclaim the Democrat dead and the republican winning. I just don't understand. If they are going to take a poll, they should be made to publish the political party of the people they are polling. I don't believe they are honest. I really don't no body can go from being that far ahead and in a weeks time drop. These polling companies and the MSM are doing more to control the voting in this country than the political parties.
