What a pile of horsehockey. New Mexico wasn't the issue at all. In fact New Mexico wasn't called until Wednesday afternoon. The issue was NEVADA. CBS, ABC, and CNN had called Nevada, but not Ohio. Fox and NBC called Ohio but not Nevada. All five conspired to keep from officially declaring Bush the winner prior to a concession from Kerry. They applied one set of standards to states declared prior to the Electoral College vote for Bush going over 269 and a second standard to the last few remaining states. The question is whether they would have provided the same "service" to Bush if the positions had been switched. I tend to doubt it.

Thank you. You saved me having to write this all out. You are 100% correct.

I was up until 3:00 AM Pacific and I watched it all. In one sense it was pathetic. But in the end it was actually comical. The MSM (not including FOX) was apparently thinking that they could still somehow control the outcome. As to FOX - I have no idea what was going through their heads. They missed a great opportunity to show up the alphabet networks.
