ABC call New Hampshire for Obama

January 10th, 2008 12:02pmDoesn't it make anyone question the merits of TV networks 'calling' the election at all? They have their own agendas and their own favourite candidates; speed v. accuracy is also always a factor in their planning.

Wait till the returning officer, or whatever they call him over there, announces "the total number of votes cast was as follows etc.
