If a race is close or a state is typically hard to say which way a state will go they'll wait until almost all the results are in, but a state which is traditionally goes a certain way they'll call it as soon as the polls close.
Thanks Eldo, seems a bit fishy to me given the small numbers, but they are probably right (though these same people did predict Dewey won).

McCain didn't convince them of anything because the true believers never considered him to be Republican anyway.

The entire Truman-Dewey election in 1948 was a huge learning experience for people trying to predict Presidential elections. They've really refined their craft since then. It's not always right, which is probably why some organizations wait longer to make any calls, but none of the quick calls so far have been unbelievable. They've also waited to call any of the close states. Even Pennsylvania took almost an hour and a half to call.

They'll say the same thing about Romney too.

BBC still being fairly cautious- got it at 157 Obama 163 Romney

Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
BBC actually isn't too far behind the other networks. They seem split on whether Minnesota, Wisconsin, or both can be called yet but it seems that Obama will take those.
Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
New Mexico (five votes) called for Obama. My tally is 173-163 Obama now.

I don't think the FOX stream I found is the actual FOX channel.

Also, Todd Akin -- the "legitimate rape" guy -- has lost to his challenger Claire McCaskill.
Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
BBC and ABC tallies have finally caught up with mine. Follow Eldo News: first in the world when it comes to calling states!

http://live.foxnews.com/ like I said. I think it's an online-only stream. I turned that off though when there was no Palin.
I'm also half-watching ABC on the big screen here on campus and clicking around to various other sites and streams.

Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
Worth noting is that Romney/Ryan lost Romney's home state (Massachusetts), Romney's childhood state (Michigan), and Paul Ryan's home state (Wisconsin). Lolololol.

Ah, okay. I'm still pretty sure the stream I saw wasn't the real deal though.
Also, nice sig.
Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
You should have seen it, she looked like she was just about to burst into tears

I keep hearing about how salty Fox News are and I want to see it. How are you watching?
Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
I'm just in from the field, getting some supper and listening on NPR. The last 6 pages here have given me a nice recap. Thanks all!

Hopefully it was as entertaining for you as it was for us.
Re: HUSSEIN vs WILLARD: Rumble in the Electoral College
NBC called Arizona for Romney. No one else is on that so far; NBC has been quick on the call so far tonight but no one has disagreed with them yet. Arizona is deep red so I'll trust them on this one.
