politicalprowess.com unraveling the mystery of politics one keystroke at a time

Well ok, I admit not every state. But McCain wins Alabama and South Carolina with no real return form from voting. And Obama wins Pennsylvania  with a whopping 1% returned.   So as I write this article its Obama 174 to McCain 49 in the electoral votes, but to be honest I can’t say who has what because exit polls aside the fact remains that the largest single state return at the moment is still less than 50% with many returns under 25%.

Listen people, just like Negative campaign ads annoy me and sneaky emails and election day phone calls from GOP and DEM call centers across the country trying to get the "not" vote out, I’m more annoyed by the fact Media channels like NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS and CNN do their best to compete to be the first one to call a state, and while I know we haven’t had another Dewey beats Truman this calling states with 1% (I’ve counted 5 so far) is just plain asinine and these media companies should be ashamed. We don’t really need another reason to ban exit polls and take a serious look at "The Plan" now, do we?
