Remember when the Networks would call it right after closing?

I know they got burned once or twice (though they were right about the actuall Florida vote in 2000)
But it seems tonight the refuse to even say what their exit polls show.

Is it clearly for Obama and they want to drag out the horse race?

1. Yeah, they want their ad money AND there is always the -

fraud will force them to adjust numbers.

Oh well.

2. I'll never forget that cold feeling in the pit of my stomach in '00 when they pulled FL back,,,,,

3. I think so. All MSM stations have Romney up in EVs right now.

I think they want to keep people glued to their TVs by making it seem Romney is ahead, then Obama comes from behind and wins. They need us to keep watching.

5. FWIW, CBC (Canada) has Obama up in EVs...

They've only called 56 for Romney, with 65 for the President.

7. Wow - quite a difference! Currently here, R 82, O 64

[Lucy Goosey]

8. I have no idea what would account for the difference.

4. They want to keep viewers tuned in and on the edge of their seats as

long as possible. November is ratings sweeps month. The better the ratings, the more they can charge advertisers. All boils down to $$.

6. I'm glad they don't call it early. They don't know that early, and

calling it early in '00 caused a lot of people in the FL panhandle to not vote because they thought it was already decided. Calling it early is irresponsible.
