Yeah but the networks need the ratings. If they declare OH and FL, people pull the plug and they don't sell commercials.

MSM will not call FLA or OH for Bush because that would mean they would have to declare Bush the winner of the whole election (basically).
They do not want to declare Bush the winner of the election b/c if sKerry litigates, it will drag out for weeks.
MSM does not want to give any legitimacy to a Bush victory in case sKerry litigates!!!

You are correct. This is ALL about ratings - that has been the case since last Friday. But this IS fun. We can still pick up WI, IA, NM, HI
and THE MANDATE.
I am enjoying this particular moment fantasizing the lead ball that Kerry feels in his gut right about now. 'Course Teresa is prolly passed out on the floor from those gin soaked raisins.
Bwaaaaahhhhhh!
None of these talking heads have the time to scour the net and contemplate the results like we do.

That was my explanation - combined with their leftward bias.
For the record, if my memory serves me, the last re-election of 1996 was NOT a long night...
