I find it interesting how the various media websites cover the elections. In particular, when they declare winners (or “projected winners”). I’ve been going back and forth between CNN and Fox News tonight, and I noticed that CNN declard winners as early as 2% of the precincts reporting, and every time it was a Democrat winner. Fox, on the other hand, seemed more biased toward the Republicans. Watching the numbers of “winners” in the House and the Senate slowly go up, Fox had more Republicans listed as having taken the wins, while CNN listed more Democrats. It was just a few difference (45-39 versus 44-41), but you see what I mean. They both seem reluctant to declare winners if they’re not the party they’d favor.

This isn’t really much of a surprise or anything, but it’s interesting to observe.
