Is it me or are they calling it pretty quickly? I know the big thing in the news is to be the first to call it but is it me or is there less then 1% reporting?

Exit polling. Newt's the 'Projected' winner.

They are calling it based on Exit Polling, which means that it is not a close race at all.

Megyn Kelly said on some show last week that their exit polling can often give them the answer long before they go on the air. To the extent her opinion is reliable, it suggests that the exit polls were unambiguous that Newt was faaaar ahead of the rest of the pack...so much so they were confident to call it so early. I was going to turn on the TV and watch the results...no need now!

So glad to see the media get their "conventional wisdom" folded in five corners and shoved in their Obamas!
