So much for PUMAs, what a joke! I see NO effect, no impact. the numbers for states “called” so far are so lop-sided....

Barone and Fox said they are NOT calling PA they have no tabulated votes yet and don’t have some other data they need so they are bot calling PA on Fox. They don’t trust CNN, NBC etc....

They’re just anxious and wishful thinking.

The only numbers that should matter is from Pennsylvania’s election website;

Exit polling in PA is the media Florida this year so they’re going to use those flawed exit polls.

Michael Barone said he’s seen a margins of over 11% between exit polls and the actual precinct count.

I think we all need to get some rest and walk away from the TV... Ours isn’t ALLOWED on tonight!!!!!
Who ever wins, WINS... if we wake to President McCain, our family will rejoice and GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALONE!!!!!
If we wake to President O, our family will STILL give THANKS TO GOD for HIS COMFORT and SUSTAINING GRACE...and begin to do our best to combat the infestation.

Hopefully we won’t have a filibuster proof Congress!!But hope that they will grow a backbone and FAST!!!!

How can one call with 1% reporting, what if the areas not reporting yet are strong for the other candidate?
Wish they’d quit trying to predict and just give NEWS, not opinions. Guess I’m breaking our own rules having the TV even on now........My wife would run over and turn it off if she were home

In the last election, Freepers kept watch all night and did not permit Dan Rather and his ilk from stealing the election by giving out erroneous information. The only reason the MSM retracted calling it for Kerry and before that, for Gore, was because of alert Freepers.

Any of those ilk still here?

No matter how many sock puppets a "PUMA Forum" is seeded with, the sysop still only has one vote.

If true, it truly reflects that PA is a state with a majority of dummies. The people of PA think the economy is bad now...just wait. All the Federal grant money on earth won’t save them.

I didn’t think I was attacking anyone........... just posting what I see and wondering...........
But seems if I question something, I sure get attacked and called a troll! LOL, yeah, right. I’ve been blasted for being too far “right” in some forums!
Life-long registered Republican and that’s how I always vote, only one year I can recall where I didn’t vote a straight ticket.

Wasn’t this predicted? That the Media would call it for Obamanaiton, and it would go for McCain?

Amen. Will start swamping CNN/FOX with calls if the vote tallies suggest PA is close. This ‘voter turnout’ mantra might backfire on the Dems and media - only so many Obama votes out there. If turnout approaches 70-75% nationally, that signals a very strong conservative counter-balance.

With all of the variables this year - race, PUMAS (or not...) important Senate races, it is irresponsiblr to call a state based on seeing returns from just one or two precincts. Even if they’re right, there are still people voting in CO, NV, NM. I think early voting is crap and the rush to scoop other media outlets is crap. NO states should be called until all polls are closed nationwide.

Calling PA early was predicted by Rush and a LOT of other people, I’ll believe Obama wins PA when the last vote is counted, then we’ll call for a recount of Philly! lol
