Boy, I hope they are eating their words by 9:00 p.m.
I hope that the newscreeps remember that Florida spans two times zones and don’t “call it” an hour too early as they did in 2000. I hope they don’t try any funny business.
“The media incorrectly called Al Gore the winner of Florida at 7:48 p.m. eastern time with 12 minutes still remaining to vote in the 10 central time zone counties in Florida. In addition, the media reported that polls ‘close in Florida at 7:00 p.m. eastern time,’ which may have misled some panhandle voters into thinking their polls closed at 6:00 p.m. central time. Given the closeness of the popular vote in Florida, and the degree to which the outcome in the state was contested, these media miscues could have
been decisive in the election.”
