"Our decision not to call Ohio for President has nothing to do with political bias, and everything to do with getting it right. 

We are dedicated to the highest standards of professionalism and accuracy, and to get it right, rather than get it first, is our most important obligation to our viewers"

...'nuff said Smiley





Yep,  that's the funniest thing he said all night.

Rather gets more 'folksy' as the night wears on.  It could be the effects of lack of sleep on an old guy, or that his medication needs adjusting.
