I was having dinner in a bar at 9:30 ET Tuesday night and the TV sets had CNN and Fox News on with no sound. Each show had a little box on the screen with the number of electoral votes won by each candidate. Fox News had Obama with more electoral votes than Romney, but without a map breakout, I don't know which state or states FNC called and CNN did not. So I am not certain that Obama won those states but I am confident that he eventually did, so FNC did no wrong by announcing that. Kevin asserts an intention to get out the vote in the west but FNC did not give out any incorrect information in order to do that. They just called states a little earlier than CNN and the end result bore that out. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
