I seem to remember it happening during the 2010 election it happened too, although I forget which state. It's rare enough that it is most likely that there will not be one at all in a given election, but it does happen. also 8 years ago was bush vs kerry. | ||

It's supposed to be a battleground state, and they call it with only 24% counted with Obama leading with 54% Isn't that too close of to call... If this was a state that was supposed to go to Obama, that would be enough to call, but this is a battleground state. The turnout in the current vote wasn't enough to push it to romney. It's lots of statistics and for the most part, they are usually correct. | ||

They also exit polls, interviews, and the like. | ||

Googling "correlation between intelligence and liberal" gave me some interesting stuff. Ya, we discussed this months ago but the democratic brain is inherently different from the republican brain. Republicans have more brain matter in the area that controls emotion and fear while libs have more brain matter in areas that control problem solving and decision making. | ||

Googling "correlation between intelligence and liberal" gave me some interesting stuff. Calling it a strong correlation seems like an overstatement, but studies certainly have shown some connection. | ||

I don't recall a state being called wrong in 2004? Maybe, can't recall. EDIT: Suffice it to say, these things are caught fast enough that it isn't a "guess," it's a misprojection. | ||

Hmm and I wonder if you consider yourself a liberal? I'd be interested if you could find a reputable source for this, because this just sounds like bias and an attempt to validate your own opinions | ||
