I hope that’s their reason. NO exit polls, so MAYBE they’re in the dark, but I hate that “if he squeaks by” talk.
Just a gut feel that Brown won’t squeak by. He’ll either win by a somewhat confortable margin (several percentage points or higher) or the Dem will squeak by.
I guess I didn’t hear the “if he squeaks by” comment directly, but did catch Hume’s overall tone.
I try to remember that the media needs a horserace. A landslide doesn’t gin up viewers.
(fingers crossed here!)
