There are probably several reasons for the problem:
1. FR is a premium site for tracking the election as well as seeing results.
2. This election is driving a lot of people crazy. Millions of us work for or own businesses that depend on a strong economy and a strong middle class. If Zero wins we are scr3wed. If Romney wins we have a good shot at getting back the huge amounts of money we have invested and the time we have put into our businesses.
3. There may be a whole lot more people trying to get on than Jim can count.
4. If you want to change how FR works, donate.
