Why can't they call Indiana yet?
Just Look Around

Posted on 11/04/2008 5:53:50 PM PST by pctech

Over 50% of the precincts have reported in Indiana and so far McCain is in the lead, yet they haven't called it yet. 0% of the precincts have reported in PA, and yet they have already called it for Obama.

Gary, IN hasn’t weighed in yet... From what I’ve read, it’ll be HEAVILY pro-Obama, which is probably why they’re reserving judgment on who will win it at this point.

Lake County will hold their results until they know how many votes need to be cast.

Because Indiana is close and Pennsylvania is not.

Because the media (including FoxNews) are in bed with Nobama.

It’s sickening!!!!

Calls are always based on exit polling. The networks call early for RATS and very late, if ever, for the Republican.

My feeling is that Lake county will come in last to put O over the top or whatever it takes.

If Indiana goes O then it is over.

It’s the MSM...the ‘short con’...you’ve answered your own question.

The way this is being reported one cannot, with any logical reasoning, believe the tripe being spread.

It ain’t over till it’s over.

Michael Barone was covering this on Fox. He said they aren't calling some states because of the magnitude of the difference between exit polls and the real results reported so far. If they match up they can call it.

On a positive note the error in the exit polls for Va was more than 10%.

IN is in two time zones. Lake, Laporte, and Vanderburgh counties are Dem counties and will report last.

Don’t know where you’re getting the numbers, but the SOS for Indiana hardly has any votes tallied. The polls haven’t been closed long enough for “50% of the vote” to be counted.

They’ve hardly counted any votes from PA yet, just a handful of counties. Surely it’s got to be closer than they say it is.

I don’t understand it either, they have McCain winning WV but when they show the precincts Obama is winning, some of these states have less than 10% reporting.

Heavily dem counties up north haven’t come in yet. Indiana’s only hope with ACORN up there was to come out heavily for McCain in GOP counties. Doesn’t look like it happened. If this many Republicans crossed and voted Obama hope is dead in my opinion. Where are the PUMA’s???? Doesn’t look like they existed in reality either. They either didn’t vote or stayed with Obama. Sad night to see my state go Dem.

I figure the RATS in Gary are waiting to see how many 0bama needs and then will manufacture the amount to put him over the top in IN.

Because the media is in the tank for Obama. And they were in the tank for Kerry. And they were in the tank for Gore (Katie Couric was on the verge of tears when the election was called for Bush in election night 2000, Rather was very solomn (he got rejuvinated like a coke head finding a little baggie later when Gore renegged on his concession).

Same as it ever was. Except Dan Ratherbiased’s bias got the better on him and he lost his job. All of the anchors abuse the public trust. They are partisan hacks.

Turn off that crap.
