They're being much more conservative this year about relying on exit polls, but in somewhere like VT, the exit polls won't even be close, so why not go with them?
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, Chris Matthews, shut the hell up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The Times isn't calling anyone yet, and I am in love with their zoom-in-by-county map.
That's nifty. I've added another website to my election watch.

NYT also has a nice pop-up that shows who is calling what for whom. They are virtuously not calling anything; everybody else is.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
NBC called South Carolina for McCain, but CNN has Obama ahead there. I have no idea how the networks make these calls.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have no idea how the networks make these calls.
It depends on how they're weighting the data they have at this point -- exit polls vs. raw precincts reported vs. the weighting of which precincts have reported.

Hey folks! I am watching the CBC results and doing laundry. They were interviewing the CBC correspondent and John McCain's headquarters, and in the background a band was playing "Nowhere Man." An omen?
