[Timeout]

Did Fox address the issue of putting the returns up while the polls are still open in the upper part of the state? (Am I right on that?)

I’m just surprised they would do that after FloridUh.

Fox, CNN and Drudge are only announcing preliminary numbers whereas in 2000 I believe they declared Gore the winner an hour before parts of Florida closed.

I suspect they know it will be difficult for McShame to catch up based on the exit polls but are cautioning it is far too early to call. Only 3,000 votes separate them at this point. The internals must be telling the candidates how they fare as McShame left for SC earlier today and Huckabee is getting ready to concede.
