you gotta wonder how the 2000 election might have worked itself out if the media had acted similarly with respect to Florida that they are now acting with respect to NC and MO.  I'm almost surprised they called Indiana. 

I am also a bit surprised at how quickly they called Ohio and how long it took them to call SC and GA.  I suspect those states are so regionalized they were a bit more careful.

Those 5 tied polls were pretty accurate.
