Red, White, and Who Knew?

Pedro the Plumber needs to stop the leaks: it's 5:45 am in SoCal, the polls don't open for another hour, but we're already receiving EARLY ELECTION RETURNS from the East Coast states.

Really? I didn't know the polls were closing before noon on the Eastern Seabord.

Isn't there a policy in place that prohibits releasing election results until AFTER ALL THE POLLS CLOSE and certainly NOT BEFORE HALF OF THE 50 STATES' POLLING PLACES HAVE A CHANCE TO OPEN? People who believe their candidate is winning in a landslide may decide not to stand in long lines to cast their one little vote, while voters whose candidate is the underdog and needs every single vote may decide why bother: the results are showing it's a done deal and the other guy is winning.

The media told voters months ago that Obama will be elected in a landslide, but McCain continues to creep slowly up to almost even in many of the "done deal" states. The message today should be a consistent GO VOTE across all 50 states, with nary a breath of "done deal" allowed to surface, especially in what have to be phony "early election returns."
