Schieffer is really pushing that Obama will indeed be the next President. Within the last 20 minutes, every time I flip to CBS, I hear him stating such an opinion.

He may be right, but you'd think a newsman would know to keep his opinion to himself..or at least not to shout it out in celebration every 5 minutes. Especially someone with Scheiffer's experience.

In other local election news, a huge part of Maryland's election has been centered around Question 2, which is whether or not to pass slots. I was in favor. So far the slots bill will pass.

On a lighter note - Brian Williams just compared NBC's virtual set to TWC's HD set. :biggrin: :clap:

CNN reporters are having a very difficult time getting McCain to victory - even giving him all the remaining states (including OH, FL, VA), EXCEPT CA, WA, OR (which will undoubtedly go to Obama). :dance:

Brian Williams remarked a little while ago that he spoke to a McCain advisor who told him that McCain "needed a miracle" to win at this point.

I really like that CNBC is doing coverage...they're showing stock futures.

When McCain was leading (briefly in the beginning): Dow 30 Fut down 59.
With Obama leading:  Dow 30 Fut up 19.
