Will Tuesday Night's Newscasts Call The States As They Fall?

[ThomWV]

I'm wondering if the various news sources will call the state's elections as the counts come in or if they will delay reporting vote counts for whatever reason? Living in a state that has a very late Primary I know how it feels to have the winner decided and named before I even get to vote - very displeasing. I can imagine how it feels to live in Hawaii or even California. It also annoys the hell out of me when they call a state's vote the minute the polls in that state close - before so many as a single vote has been counted.

How do you suppose they will handel results this year - the big networks and the cable channels?

1. My understanding is they will call them as the polls close. This race could be over by 9 PM

2. There's so much competition to be the first, no way will they delay calling

any state.

3. I hope they do

When the polls close on the East coast, it could all be over. That would sure be nice. All I want is Obama to win. I don't care if he wins before MY vote is counted.
