California’s All-NighterPosted on Feb 5, 2008
All eyes are on California on this Super Tuesday, but the Golden State might try everyone’s patience with a vote count that could stretch into the morning hours. The state, which is expecting a record turnout, recently switched back to paper ballots—good for its democratic process but bad for its sleepy friends on the East Coast.

I’m with ya DennisD. I don’t care how long it takes either. And, as a California voter, I’m tickled to no end that we switched back to paper.
But, just to prove your point about the political parasites, (who are still getting paid) I turned on the TV last night just after 9:00Pm. Most polls had only been closed here for 2 hours.
CNN and AP were already ‘calling’ the victories for McCain and CLINTON. I didn’t get it. Then, they eventually admitted, (after ‘calling it’ for Clinton over Obama at least half-dozen times in the course of about 12 minutes), that ONLY 20% OF THE PRECINCTS HAD BEEN COUNTED!! Yep, 20% of the vote counted in a State a big and populace as California, and they were already ‘calling’ and/or projecting the winners.
THIS is why MSM has not only become totally worthless in the past decade, but actually a DANGER to society.

I don’t care if it takes a week to count the votes. the result might just be accurate for a change. What’s the rush?
The political news parasites are still getting paid aren’t they?
