They keep saying Obama won NC and sticking up a picture with her

[Maraya1969]

having 58% and him 37% with a check next to him saying he is the winner. Am I seeing things?

1. Ever watched Election returns before? Rural counties come back first.

Just watch.

[Maraya1969]

9. Why are they sticking it up then right when they are saying he won NC?

I paused the screen..... Clinton is on the top with 58% and Obabma is on the bottom with 38% yet they have a check after Obama's picture and are saying he won.

And what did she get 58% of anyway?

I wish I knew how to get a tv screen picture up on the net.

13. The 3% of precincts that had come in at that point.

2. I just posted something similar.

They should have just waited and let the numbers pour in a little bit. It looks stupid! Obviously, she lost, but still...they were all in a rush to be the first to call it.

[Maraya1969]

10. OK I think I am understanding but it is stupid.

[dubeskin]

3. Nope

But I'm sure after looking at the Exit Polling Obama is the clear winner.

4. No - I saw it too -- also says zero precincts reporting. Must be a graphic screw up. nt

5. The first few counties are coming in. That's all.

I see a Clinton 73% Obama 24% number on C-Span with 0% reporting. That means that the very first votes are coming in - nothing to worry about.

[Guaranteed]

6. Yeah, that's the way it works with numbers. Same thing is going on in IN.

The first to report are the smaller precincts- the rural ones. Clinton has the advantage there.


But then you're gonna see the more educated and urban voters come in.

7. Obama will win by a smaller margin and they'll spin it as a comeback

They'll say she came back from a 20-point deficit in late March to mid-April.

This will be a LIE.

8. Look for the percentage reporting number; that's how it stands now

given that percentage, but he's projected to win.

[Gore1FL]

11. He is overperforming in Clinton strongholds

combined with exit polling the call them, with 0% in he is showing 66%

They won't call them without being sure.
