My view is that the networks don't want to embarrass Kerry; they're willing to give him a few more hours to pull himself together. That's all.
Actually, it's not a bad decision. Why create hostility toward your network if you can avoid it by holding off a few hours?
But Bush won re-election last night. Everyone knows it, too. All that's left are public relations.
I'm not fighting, I'm just stating the obvious that there is collusion between the networks and with Kerry. You have just agreed with me by stating that they don't want to embarrass Kerry. Could be. Whatever the reason, each network has agreed to not give Bush 270+ EVs at this time. If you can give me a better reason why some nets have called Nevada hours ago for Bush, while others haven't, and it just so happens that no network has called none or both of the states, I'm all ears. :-)
