Since I was at work until 8pm Pacific, I had NBC's internet feed on (which was primarily commercial-free coverage from the mothership). They kept going back to Chuck Todd and his TV monitor, one of the features of which allowed him to move various states into either Obama's or Romney's totals.

Here's the problem with that logic: of the nine states that could loosely be called toss-ups, only Iowa and Nevada had poll closing times after 9 PM ET. Even if they were calling everything as early as is possible, most of the states that mattered were done by then. On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 2:24

Again, while this is an interesting discussion, I believe it is based on a false premise. I don't think there is any evidence that any news operation new the actual vote in any state but held back reporting until after the polls closed. The vote counts are not released in any state until the polls

I've just recently started watching Fox News -- because a couple of FB friends I hardly know -- and their friends -- were posting crap, and I wondered where they were getting it from. So, I had the good fortune of watching the drama unfold live on the network last night. Since I'm still a novice

One of the best conservative-hosted talk shows is Tim Conway Jr's show on KFI. Last night while driving home (OK, while driving to a bar), I caught a bit of his election coverage. One comment he made that stuck out was that FoxNews was tracking Obama much farther ahead than the other cable

What annoys me is that I can't shake the feeling the outcome of the election was known well in advance of when it was announced, but the press won't disclose such truths for fear of accusations of election tampering (i.e.-telling the public on the west coast that there is no point to voting).
