Methinks that with this stuff about calling winners with only 3% or what not is mainly the MSM competing with each other for viewers. Mixing crap in
with typical bending of truth. Also gets people irritated, myself included.

Some of them probably were called too early, but it doesn't matter. Of Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania, McCain needed three of the four. It looks very much like he's going to go 0-4. Its over, he's done.

I disagree,
I think this current government has drive this economy in the wrong direction on purpose, for personal and corporate interests.
Original Post:
You know, you're right; but remember that 3 out of 4 of the top members of congress who grew their wealth this year are Democrats. That's not saying anything other than neither party is innocent here.
Edit to correct (too much wine):
In the House of Representatives, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., ranks No. 1, with $397 million, followed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., with $343 million. Rep Robin Hayes, R-N.C., ranks third, with $173.4 million. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ranks sixth, with $62 million.
In the Senate, the two Democrats from Massachusetts claimed two of the top three spots.
Sen. John Kerry led the pack, with $336 million, while Sen. Edward M. Kennedy ranked third, with $104 million. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., ranked second, with $241.5 million. Overall, senators had a median net worth estimated at $1.7 million.

If anything, this should be a wakeup call for the independent movement. I am convinced that the two-party system is dead.

It is possible that you are right. My point is only that they are calling many of these states without any precincts reporting and that doesn't make a darn bit of sense. Polls can and frequently are wrong. In this case, they may be perfectly right I'm not denying that. But it simply doesn't make sense to call a state for either candidate without any of the precincts reporting.

I'm sorry, that contributed to the discussion how? I mean really. Yes by the end of the night Obama may, and probably will, win. But all of the results aren't in yet and your post was simply bad form.

FOX News just showcased the campaign manager stating they "concede that there is no viable road that can put McCain at 270."

Where did you get that info?
No reporting of such an event - that would be plastered all over every station & webpages
