CNN just called for Hagan to be the next senator from the great state of NC.

Al, > They look at more than precints reporting. They factor in exit polls as well...

In 2004, the networks were careful not to prematurely call any race until they were sure. Exit polls are notoriously unreliable.

This year, the networks don't even bother. Objectivity has been completely tossed out the window. It's all about ratings now. They're jumping onto the Obama bandwagon.

"Another very good development...Kay Hagan has defeated Dole, the nasty hag campaigned like a true GOP witch"

Either that, or she got and took some VERY bad advice. When Hagan responded that she taught Sunday school and Dole had born "false witness", you KNEW Dole's goose was cooked, even with the bible-thumpers. Dole must think they're complete idiots, which is understandable, but..
