Is foxnews.com's electoral map screwed up for you?

Everytime i load the site it gives me 3 to 8 Mccain and then very slowly loads some of the rest of the updated data, taking several minutes. It still hasn't completely loaded.

Ted Stevens is the IT guy for Fox news. When things got clogged up he poured draino on the computers thinking it would clear out the tubes.

Fox News electoral map:

Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
Anger (why is this happening to me?)
Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Depression (I don't care anymore) <--- map's current feelings
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)

Once the map reaches "acceptance" it will start showing results again.

Yeah it was screwed for me, too, going up by itself, then down and then just making numbers up out of thin air. Pathetic. I've noticed that CNN is having tech issues, too. Pitiful.

On Fox news they had a check for Obama, but then said it wasn't called.... meltdown I guess

All these calls and projections are screwed up every year. They aren't able to call it like primaries no matter how much they want to. I'm watching Fox, but relying mostly on CNNs electoral map, and I go back and forth between CNN, FOX, and MSNBCs websites.

Well... in all fairness its probably getting hammered harder than slashdot ever did right now. I'm following the results on CBS News. But this leaves me wondering something... according to the map less than 5% of some of the state districts have reported their results. Yet the states are already being awarded to one candidate or another... :confused:

Maybe Obama can hook him up with a green job.

Or maybe he can be responsible for keeping Fred Barnes' head from exploding

No worries, he's actually an Obama insider!

Great!

Though I think the foxies never even considered that Obama would win and never coded for the color blue.
