Media is LOATHE to call it

If it had been a Republican, they'd have called this an hour and a half ago.

1. They shouldn't call till CA is done voting.

If there's a major suppression of the vote there due to calling the race, it could influence things.

2. West coast is still voting

Can you let us finish voting please?

3. Silly goose. They won't call it until the west coast is done voting.

Didn't they do that for Reagan or someone and decided they wouldn't do it again.

4. Olberman tried to call it 20 minutes ago

He went through the known likely Obama states (Ca, Or, Wa, Hi) and showed Obama was already at 270, but the rest of the MSNBC crew laughed nervously and it wasnt mentioned again.

5. West coast is still voting and ... the media did not call it in 2000 or 2004

until the 270 mark was reaached

6. We on the west coast prefer not to have an election

called until we're done voting. :)

7. CNN still hasn't given Obama New Mexico

Personally, I'd rather they wait until they know whether the urban areas will make a difference before calling a state.
