Depends on demographics of what they've counted thus far. If this was in Bush's strongest places with Kerry's strongholds still to go, that small a lead is not liekly to hold up. Of course, calling it that early is assuming a LOT...HOLY COW, yes it is early, but man I love to hear this!
I can call it a "state of denial." Or a "state of anger." See how easy it is? If you're the media, you just "call" it. Bingo!
Could someone please tell me where the best place to track results online is? Would that be Yahoo?
Thank you!
I saw this too. What's up with that?
Probably because those precincts are more heavily Republican then they voted.
It breaks my heart, but Fox News already called Jersey for Kerry.
exit polls.
CNN.com's had NJ for Kerry for half an hour now...what's going on?
They're calling it on exit polling.
I sensed something wrong with that in New Jersey. Bush will likely New Jersey.
Thats what they wree doing in 2000. They saw how big Dodd won and presumed a Kerry victory??... Dodd polled 12% higher than Kerry!
Wow. I still don't expect Bush to win in NJ, but I lived there for most of my life and this shocks me. Really.

Some places report more in than others do. Perhaps Fox has more info. I questioned the call so soon, but figured they'd be sure before announcing it.
If anyone makes a mistake this time around, they're going to look positively Orwelian.
Because the exit polls of apparently-loose women say so...
Depends on which 2% of precints are reporting. If that is South Jersey, it is a disaster for Bush. If those 2% are in downtown Newark, it is a disaster for Kerry. But please try to avoid vanities...there are many threads you could have posted this and gotten an answer.
BTW, Republican counties are often far more efficient in their reporting, especially since D strongholds tend to hold back until they know how many votes they have to steal.
Dead-Americans and Illegalalien-Americans haven't voted yet.
