1. The networks call elections based on

their exit polls--not the actual vote returns.

[OhNoTheyDidNot]

12. Yah, that didn't turn out too well for them in 2004 when evey exit poll had Kerry winning

[LoZoccolo]

2. Nobody called anything.

The projected winner has been Lieberman for the last three months.

[sendero]

5. Nobody "calls" ..

... a race based on pre-election polls with a MOE of 4-5% IF they are done well.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. John Ellis now working for CNN?

:shrug:

I hear no obese female wailing...

[Pab Sungenis]

4. Will the Republicans say

"the exit polls were wrong" this time?

Keep hope alive, but they don't call elections lightly. Has anyone retracted their calls?

6. Deja vu, Bush was called winner in 2000 before votes were counted.

Fox News is Joe's best friend. Same shite.

[American Jesus]

7. IF Holy Joe Wins

Then there had better be a lot more Senate seats yet to come. Because we can't have the balance of power in the Senate resting entirely in the hands of someone who can't make up his mind what party he's in.

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. Very suspicious. Lamont must not concede. Not until every vote

is counted.

[KittyWampus]

14. They have lever voting for god's sake

[HockeyMom]

9. Didn't this happen in Primary?

It was called for Lieberman before Hartford was counted? Don't their votes come in last?

10. Really Good Question (nt)

[bloom]

11. that's nonsense (calling it of course)

It's cool that it's as close as it is.

[Barking Spider]

13. its a projection based on exit polls. n/m
