Am I the only one that was watching Fox News and cringed every time Megyn Kelly went to the big board and showed demographics in exit polls?
"Amongst white voters, 63% for McCain, 36% for Obama."
"And amongst Young Voters, 59% for Obama, 40% for McCain. You can see Obama's polling very well there."
"But amongst White Evangelical Christians, McCain is doing very well, up 60% to Obama's 39%, a spread of more than 20 points."
How incredibly racist. Where was the Black Evangelical Christians demographic? Or the White atheists demographic? Because, you know, we should all be concerned with what the white evangelical christians are doing with their votes.
Later, Megyn was talking about a different state:
"Amongst the white voters, you can see that Obama and McCain are neck and neck, at 49% each. But many urban precincts are still reporting, and urban areas usually have a large black population."
Somehow that offended me too.
Anyway, by and large Fox News was fun to watch, as Brit Hume And The Defeatists gave up essentially from the minute Pennsylvania went to Obama. I was expecting to see them fight the facts at least until California polls closed, but they had Obama up 200 EV to McCain's 93 fairly early in the night, and were actually calling Obama victories in states (North Carolina and Indiana) where other stations like MSNBC were much more hesitant.
However once California closed and they called the election for Obama, I switched over to MSNBC, which was shooting close-ups of people in Grant Park. The Abstracted Sister and TPI were supposedly there with The Abstracted Nephew, and I would have loved to see them.
