1. NBC had Oklahoma pegged fo McCain with...
... 0% of the precincts reporting! lol How *do* they do that? They even had percentages for Obama and McCain -- roughly 40% and 60%, respectively. But with ZERO precincts? Do they project a state and color it red on their little map based on exit polls alone?
