Bush winning by a Landslide but the Networks are afraid to say so.
A very odd thing is happening as I watch the election results come in.
In state after state where Bush has obviously won, the networks are
calling it "too close to call".
For example, in Virginia with 28% of the votes counted, Bush leads
Kerry by 55% to 44% with Badnarik having 1%. Yet, the networks say
that it is "too close to call".
The same is true in North Carolina where Bush has 63% and in South
Carolina where Bush has 54%.
More importantly, in the key state of Florida, Bush has 55% and that
too is considered too close to call.
One wonders what it will take for the networks to declare a victor.

Bush is winning in red states, no surprise. The reason FL hasn't been called
is because there are only 25% of the precincts reporting. The first to
report would be the more modern vote machines which would come from the
wealthier repub precincts.

Gun shy from last time around no doubt.
Looks like the count coming in is more in favor of Bush than exit polling
would indicate as well.

Have you ever watched these before? The early returns tend to be
rural. You need to wait for the city vote.
A vote for Bush is a vote to expand torture, homosexual sexual abuse, child rape and child murder in Iraq.

Proves very little -- you don't know which precincts are reporting
in. If you only count the votes in upstate New York, it would seem like
Bush would win. But if you only count the votes in Cleveland, Kerry
would be winning in a landslide. It's going to come down to who wins
two out of three.

Sam, quit misusing and abusing the English language. FDR-Landon 1936,
Johnson-Goldwater 1964, Nixon-McGovern 1972: these were landslides.
60/40 or better popular vote split, electoral vote margin of hundreds.
51% of the popular vote and an electoral margin of a few dozen is a
win, but decidedly not a landslide.

Who did Bush Homosexually abuse? I don't think Bush condones any sort
of homosexaul actions.

Sam,
It's been a long time since you studied math eh?
While the networks bent over backwards in not calling Florida or Ohio,
there's a very good reason why it's prudent to wait before declaring a state
won for a particular candidate.
1. You don't want to bias the polls that haven't closed yet, i.e. the west
coast
2. Networks want to be, or should want to be, within reasonable statistical
certainty when they call an election. Obviously the reliability of percent
differences goes up as more votes are counted. Perhaps just as important is
the political inhomogeneity of many states. You can't call even a 55-44
election when a good portion of votes haven't been counted, especially when
areas that traditionally go for the "44" candidate haven't been counted.
So aside from your vote, Gata Kamsky's, and Win Moe's multiple aliased
absentee ballots, how many votes did you get?
adp
