Theyve got this map and are calling states for Obama and McCain.  Some of the states are getting called with 0% of the results in!

That's INCLUDING Pennsylvania, which the McCain campaign has been fighting for...

Forget MSNBC. Switch to FoxNews.

MSNBC's results are flaky!  Texas is shown as neck and neck.  West Virginia is showing an Obama lead, and Michigan is showing a big McCain lead in a state he gave up on!

Plus the red states' electoral vote totals don't match McCain's numbers...

All the stations get their info from other places at different rates.

They want to be cautious and not look bad if they make a mistake.

Give it some time.

Just got home and I`m going to Comedy Central to watch Colbert and Stewart doing a live election special..

I'm watching NPR and the New York Times, and their methodology is CLEARLY different, with NPR calling states and the Times cautiously reporting results as they come, calling only ten or so states so far, while NPR has Obama already at 200.

Right now, they're saying that Obama has 207.  But Colorado just got called for him by the Rocky Mountain News, so he's got 216.  When he takes California, he'll have 271 EVEN IF he loses NC, FL, VA, and all the other states.

Stick a fork in McCain.
