[Principled]

0-0 is too close to call.

it's too early.

[Darkwolf377]

I'm sure it's just where the votes have been coming in from is all. This is actually another little trick, which I fell for. We'll see what the eventual results are.

[Witch-king of Angmar]

LOL! They call this "too close to call"?

Update

[lawgirl]

Not even one percent of the precincts yet-what they are saying is probably from the exit polls.

I think everyone around the country should shut the hell up and we shouldn't get any word about any state until every poll around the country has voted.

[brewcrew]

The proper terminology would be "not enough information."

[dead]

0.62% of the precincts reporting.

[fhlh]

ok, I get it.
Not even 1% reported, this would explain why FauxNews has stated "Too Close to Call"

[Exigence]

Buchanan just commenting how Virginia has "patches" of red and "patches" of blue. These returns may be from the red patches and they don't want to call until they see the blue results.

I'm guessing that its too small of a sample for them to feel confident in saying Bush will win the state. Virginia's a reasonably large state, and it would be tough to call it with just 15,000 votes cast.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Bush is leading 55-44 in Florida. Less than 1% of precincts reporting.

[bpjam]

The "too close to call" is based on exit polls, not the numbers you are looking at. Nobody has actually SEEN the numbers, this is just the reading of chicken entrails to divine God's intentions. (ie. heresy)

[cccellar]

actually FN is showing on it's ticker that VA is 57/42 for Kerry so far, not calling it yet

[ironman]

Yes Northern VA is more blue, especially around Falls Church and Alexandria.

[coramdeo]

Everyone calm down and breathe into the paper bag. The polls closed less than 30 minutes ago and VA had heavy turnout today, particularly in the Bush areas from what I could tell. It may take a little bit, but Bush definitely wins VA handily.

[AloneontheIsland]

True. I guess but its all coming from AP , so whats one to expect :(

[crushelits]

It does not too close to me either.
Look ate the data I just posted.
