They won't give Bush Ohio with a 140,000 vote lead by they'll give Kerry Wisconsin with a 13,000 vote leave.

Edit: And Michigan, where Bush is down a little over 100,000 with 91% precincts reporting.

cuz they are fvcking liberal assholes. They call Nevada, with a smaller margin in votes _and percentage_ for Bush, but not Ohio? I'm just waiting for conjur to try to argue that cnn is conservative (like he's done before) after watching this garbage.

Yes, I've been flipping between Fox and CNN. Fox gave Ohio to Bush hours ago. Funny to see the the differences in approaches....

MSNBC also gave OH to Bush, but the funny thing is, is that FOX and MSNBC call NV too close to call (giving Bush a win @ 274 EC votes), yet yahoo and CNN give NV to Bush but not OH...

No one wants to be the first to call the election. They want it to be a surpires for moring news shows.

Fox News guy just slipped up, saying "Fox News has called Nevada but can't call New Mexico for Bush"...

Went to commerical real quick and the girl gave a priceless look.

They're just trying to dramatize the whole thing, keeping the EV numbers close for higher ratings...

Maybe they're just doing what the Republican Secretary of State asked them to do.

At 1:40 a.m., Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, a Republican, told CNN, "I would suggest to you that if the number of votes that make up the difference between the two candidates is fewer than the number of provisional ballots, then I would say, everybody should take a deep breath and relax, because we're not going to start counting those ballots until the eleventh day after this election."

I think they do it so more people will watch it. If they call it, we'll all go to bed. They wouldn't like that. It's diabolical.
