When I was a kid I remember watching the first election(for me) on black and white TV. There were huge banks of counters that represented the incoming votes. They kept changing as the people talked. I don't know if they were actual results or exit polls. I do know it didn't seem at all like it does now. Now it is set up as a circus from the beginning. The media helps create these situations. They do nothing to put the fire out. They, tend to toss a pail of gasoline rather than water. Many stars are born. After OJ there were a dozen court shows with attorneys. Most are gone now. I wonder what they will attempt to construct to milk this til the utters are dry? TG
