Why do so many people want to try to predict the winner of the presidential election?

Hm. Well it reminds me of a reality show. Which I hate. But it’s short lived, and the results actually matter. That is all I’ve got. Sounds like a good party, Don’t forget music to cover the crying and brawling. Oh and I think the concession speech will be the highlight!

The TV channels sell ads . . . . Dollars talk and nobody can wait for tomorrow.

We’ve been in a race that has been dragging on for over a year. Of course we are tired and want to know the result NOW so we can go to sleep.

But it looks like it’s over to me. The polls have been very accurate so far. Seems likely that it will play out as predicted.

it’s the same as watching the Kentucky Derby being run, rather than just waiting two minutes for them to announce the winner

Better then watching a hockey game.

Because the network that does it best and first gets to promote itself as such for the next 4 years. It’s supposed to confer some kind of trust for all of the reporting that they do. It’s all about branding and marketing, and of course means nothing in reality.

Well, you can’t have sex all the time. : )

@mazingerz88 Mores the pity! ;-)
