Like FL, OH, VA etc. because they want people tuned in. They have the exit polls. They know who won, but they want to keep people tuned in so they are waiting to call them.

instead of to the voting booths after work.

3. Yep. Carville let it slip and said that although CNN won't call it, he and Begala
are "going rogue" are "mavericks" and think that FL is going for OBAMA!!

6. Better safe than sorry - let the California voters vote!
If too many West Coast people think it's over, they may not vote!

7. Actually, that's not all bad. Look at the bright side.
The longer it takes them to call the election, the more voters will feel involved in the process, particularly on the West Coast.

9. I think also that they are trying to to suppress voter turnout in the West.
If they start calling these states for Obama, the McCain folks out West might stay home. They can't have that.
