From Howard Kurtz, chief janitor of media bile over at the Washington Post:
Better plan on an early dinner tonight.
It is possible that, at 7 p.m., network anchors and their map manipulators will make projections that strongly suggest Sen. Barack Obama is on his way to winning the presidency. But if Obama fails to capture a handful of key states by 8 p.m. or so, then Sen. John McCain has a shot at getting to the magic 270 and everyone could be in for a long night..."These are canaries in the coal mine," said Charlie Cook, the veteran analyst and NBC contributor. "When they start dying, there are huge problems for the Republicans."
"If Obama wins Virginia, he's won the election," said Tad Devine, who worked for John F. Kerry and Al Gore.
Got it. If you live in California, click on the news at 4:00 pm. If Charlie Gibson tells you it's over, forget voting and just head to bar. The gods have spoken.
Kind of puts the lie to their whole "make sure to vote" crap, doesn't it?
