Too Close, or Just Too Reluctant?

As advertised, tonight's Presidential election is close as can be. But one thing that's interesting is that the networks have not been in unision when it comes to calling the races. As I type this, NBC, ABC and Fox have projected Ohio's 20 electoral votes to Bush. But CNN and CBS still have Ohio as "too close to call." NBC called the Ohio race about an hour ago, with anchor Tom Brokaw declaring that "this race is all but over." I was quite surprised however, when I turned to CNN and heard Wolf Blitzer insist that Kerry is still alive. I think it's pretty bold of CNN to be so stubborn, especially when it's so likely that Bush will indeed take the Buckeye state. Usually, the news organizations fall all over themselves to be the first to declare a race over. The cynic in me says that CNN is holding off on a call as a ploy to grab ratings. It's like an NFL Sunday- why watch a channel where the contest is over, when on another network, the game still isn't over?Good strategy by the Ted Turner & Co: I've abandoned NBC and I'm tuned into CNN.
