    If Obama wins Virginia, McCain can practically walk away hanging-in-head in shame now! :D

    well according to the colour of virginia on my map (which is probably as inaccurate as most) it looks as if they are tallying up the votes there, so at 57-43 to McCain even with room for error thats not likely.

    Providing my info is correct

    Again, I wouldn't worry about South Carolina if I was a Democrat, they had no chance there.

    I don't quite know how it works, but all the networks call the results individually. If you don't want to get confused, stick to one channel.

    I am in college at 9, can you see it now if Obama loses,"Glory Glory Hallelujha" will pop up on Fox.

    TBH Sky and Fox seem a bit hysterical...have to be first have to be first (even if we're wrong)

    Georgia is 65-35 in favour of McCain - surely that one is nailed for the Reds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,963 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    BBC appears to be way behind RTÉ, are RTÉ calling them too early?


  • Registered Users Posts: 825 ✭✭✭CtrlSource


    Sky News is an affiliate of fox, they're practically one and the same.

    They have way different editorial slants though. Sky is a very populist UK outfit, Fox panders to the Right and Independents

    CNN called South Carolina 16 - 3 (Still not WV)

    The BBC coverage is garbage, horribly biased towards Obama as well.
