It's hard when you hear supposed news anchors discounting the entire South in order to prop up Romney.
Also, I keep seeing and hearing from Ann Romney now with the "can't we all just get along" speech. No more name-calling, let's focus on the issues. This from the wife of the guy who started the scorched earth campaigns
I get it, but for goodness sakes at least use some logic before jumping to these conspiracy theories.
The networks all tend to call these at races at almost the exact same moment - and they all want to be first if they can. They are all using the same exit poll numbers and the same formulas in their election rooms. This stuff is almost a science at this point. The exit polls are taken from a bunch of different precincts and they match those results against the actual returns. In some cases the exit poll results are so overwhelming, such as tonight in Louisiana, that they can make a call as soon as the polls close. They could also make a near immediate call in Illinois for the same reason. In Illinois, Willard's lead shrank as the results came in because urban areas reported first, but the end result was a 10 point win for him. In Virginia for example, the chameleon beat RuPaul by near 20 points, but because Ron did very well in a few districts it forces them to be more cautious and they couldn't make the call for Mitt till a half hour after the polls closed. There is no conspiracy here.
