MSNBC CALLS MONTANA FOR OBAMA!

[Skip Intro]

at 1:43, way before voting ends, MSNBC reports O wins with 50% of vote to 44% for Hillary, with 100% reporting!



on edit: several minutes later that MSNBC page shows only delegate counts in place of what you see above...

[NightWatcher]

1. do they have tonight's lotto numbers?

all in the race to break news first, there will be some casualties

[GarbagemanLB]

2. Wow, Obama is at 2087? So close!

[helderheid]

3. WOAH

[Oregone]

4. Im assuming that they are testing their web content based on exit poll numbers

The publishing was most definately a mistake.

Weve seen obituaries of the living go live before too.

[Blue_Roses]

5. Don't do this. It's only flamebait. I changed my thread to update

that it HAD NOT been called for Obama yet. We don't know what the error was but it's fixed now.

[Skip Intro]

10. Not flamebait I think it's worth noting. Not about Obama, about the media.

If this were the general and they called a race for mccain with hours till the polls closed, it would be all over DU.

[Blue_Roses]

13. but did they call it on TV? Web sites get freaky and we all know that.

I don't know what happened and that's why I asked the question because I had not heard it on MSNBC. I've been gone most of the morning so I'm just catching up.

[mckeown1128]

40. BS...this has happned before in Hillary's favor...it's an accident.

[berni_mccoy]

6. The MSM definitely has issues.

[PolNewf]

7. Montana won't be that close

but feel free to continue your whining.

[anigbrowl]

8. How stupid, and disrespectful of voters.

I really don't think that calling results before all polls have closed is acceptable. I can live with calling a race after the polls have closed if your exit polls show a definite result, but calling it while people are still voting should be illegal.

[Doityourself]

9. Please update your post...it's been fixed..show some class

[rodeodance]

29. The event happened. --therefore needs its own thread. Folks can read that it has been fixed.

[Doityourself]

32. Oh it's Rodeodancer lookin' for anything to bite on..lmao..how you doing sweetie?

[JackORoses]

11. You'll wish it was that close when the real results come in

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Why do some find this post "offensive" or flamebait?

You don't think that this kind of "mistake" is worth a thread?

[Skip Intro]

14. Got me. If this were the general and they called a state for mccain hours before the polls closed

we'd all be up in arms.

I don't understand why some see this as flamebait.

[helderheid]

16. I don't either

[hokies4ever]

19. Wow, ONE person said flamebait

Now you have what you need to take it to the Convention. SYATC! Denver Denver Denver!

Pathetic. We're all onto you Skip Intro. I can't wait till after Hillary endorses Obama. What will be your excuse then for posting threads meant to trash him?

[rodeodance]

26. I agree. People would be might upset. !!

[mckeown1128]

36. Because we saw this before in Penn if I remember...

it's just them setting up their website for later today. Nothing new.

[mckeown1128]

42. Were you up in arms when they called Penn in Hills favor HOURS before polls closed.

[hokies4ever]

15. You behaving prodn2000?

Alright, just checking in on you. I've got my eye on you. :rofl:

[Skip Intro]

17. stalk much?

[hokies4ever]

25. You still mad that Obama won SC in a landslide?

:cry:

:rofl:

[Blue_Roses]

18. well, considering I started the original thread on this topic

and then updated it to NO CALL FOR OBAMA YET. Yeah. See post #13

[PBS Poll-435]

41. Obviously any sane person would know it was a mistake or something like that

But they had the check mark and voting percentages. :-)

[Indenturedebtor]

21. It is worth a thread but please don't make flamebait out of it

It's obviously a website mistake. If the percentages end up being 50-44% when the polls close THEN that would be seriously messed up.

[hokies4ever]

22. I KNEW this election was rigged :-)

New World Order! :rofl:

[Indenturedebtor]

37. Yes we're being taken over by the Libruls!

That damn Obama who wants to tax the rich to take care of our veterans and poor people! That bastard :eyes:

What sort of stand has HRC taken on increasing capital gains and closing offshore tax havens? Who is the corporate candidate?

[Occam Bandage]

20. The real scandal here?

You're using Vista. Ech.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

23. First of all, are you looking to buy or sell a Mazda 929?

They're nice cars.

Second of all - Vista?!?!?

[Skip Intro]

33. neither

it was for sale on craigslist, didn't know what one looked like, so google imaged searched it

I wish I could have xp back, but vista seems to be doing ok - it came with my computer. :shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

24. If you really hunt for them, you can find obituaries of very famous people...

... who are very much alive on the websites of news organizations.

It's a glitch, not a conspiracy. Kinda funny, though. :-)

[myrna minx]

30. I remember an obituary for Dick Cheney was posted by accident and the web went wild.

This was a few years ago. Perhaps 2005?

[jenmito]

27. I wonder who 6% went to in that scenario. n/t

[janx]

28. It isn't even 12:30 Mountain Time. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

31. I SO disagree with them calling it before the polls close!!....

What are they thinking? When a race is called before the polls closed, there are many voters who will figure "why vote"? It may also influence those that DO vote to vote for the proclaimed winner.

I thought the media had agreed NOT to call it before polls closed?

This is just flat-ass wrong.

[mckeown1128]

44. It was just a mistake...it's happned before.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5622126

[susankh4]

34. WTF?

That's one way to supress turnout, I guess.

[mckeown1128]

43. Were you this concerned when they did it for Hillary in Penn?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5622126


face it it's just them prepping for tonight.

[mckeown1128]

35. CBS did the same thing for Penn. if anyone choses to remember

in their rush to judge.

[Doctor_J]

38. WTF? It's barely noon in MT

:shrug:

[LSK]

39. did the polls even open yet???

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[wvbygod]

45. msnbc called it for Obama months ago

I used to like their slant until they took it on their own to destroy Hillary.

[DainBramaged]

46. .....................

[VotesForWomen]

47. WTF???

[Hoof Hearted]

48. Further proof they're a bunch of unprofessional, incapable hacks

Witless dweebs.
