do you have a wallpaper size version of this?


by the way. why does cnn.com say the polls close an hour later than that image people are throwing around? for instance, they have indiana closing aat 7pm, not 6pm .. ?

most of IN and KY close at 6pm. western KY and parts of IN, including gary, close at 7pm. as such, no network will call a state until ALL the polls close in the state. (multiple timezones do this)

FDR had the highest EV margin since the electoral college has been based on popular vote, though, right?

As long as they're in line, they get to vote. That's what matters.

The BBC have an odd 'must be fair at all costs' policy which makes their coverage of events like this quite hard to follow - it's like an inverse Fox, where they'll have dissenting opinions and pundits given equal airtime no matter how marginal their view. In this regard they've been kinder than I thought they would be to the McCain campaign and over the last couple of days have been going along with the general media feeding frenzy of 'the race is tightening! listen to us! we are important!'. At the moment they've just finished an explanation of the electoral map and when the polls close and have gone into a retrospective of the Bush years with a big negative Bush / world view of America spin.

Sky are like a mini Fox (Murdoch owned), but they aren't allowed to be as blatant with their bias due to UK broadcasting standards. They're playing the 'race is closing, polls are unreliable, it's almost a dead heat, we'll have to wait and see' angle.

This is why I love BBC, such a great news network.

Indiana is spilt via time zones. Parts of it close at 6, other parts at 7.

...and the thing is that there could have been many black men similar to those same white men in thought and ideology, yet weren't even given a chance.
