Nevada 2008: FNC, MSNBC call it for Romney. CNN hedges…
The Republican Nevada Caucuses happened earlier this morning. FNC called Mitt Romney as the projected winner at 1pm ET today. MSNBC called is at 1:01pm ET. CNN has put up a lower third saying that the AP calls it for Romney but CNN will wait until the votes come in.
CNN’s already gone and projected Romney the winner also. It’s amazing though, I mean, this is all based upon exit polling? Or a combination of exit polling and public opinion polls? Or some other random system? Anyone know?

Based on caucus results. Unlike primary elections, caucuses last only an hour or so and post results right away. Republicans met at 9:00 am PST (12:00 n EST). Democrats meet this evening.

So they called it for Hillary. Is that the Democratic candidate most objectionable to the Fox News viewing fringe of Bushites? If so, she is the candidate I am endorsing.
Oh and have they called Ron Paul for 2nd yet? I guess that is going to make it difficult for Fox News to arbitrarily bar him from their next round table due to “space considerations” eh?

I was please to read this quote on Thinkprogress and to post here for the benefit of the Fox News viewing Bushites.
With 84 percent of the precincts reporting across the state, state party officials said more than 107,000 Nevada voters attended the caucuses. It is the third state in the row to achieve record-setting turnout in the Democratic presidential nominating fight, which party strategists believe is a referendum on the Bush administration and a strong call for a new direction in Washington.

So, Elmo… just to make sure I understand. You pick your candidates based on what upsets FOX News the most?
Wow. You’re even more obsessed than I thought you were.

If so, she is the candidate I am endorsing.
I’ll bet Bill and Hillary both went orgasmic over elmo’s endorsement!

Perhaps, Ira… but the question is, if that’s true… did they do it together?

Keith Olbermann would be orgasmic over Elmos’ comments but we all know by now that Keith Olbermann’s TV Program is not the only thing that gets low ratings….
