Not sure what to make of this

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

After 1 percent of precincts reported, The New York Times awarded Florida to Barack Obama. Considering the importance of Florida in the outcome of the election, you'd think one of the world's most respected newspapers would wait until more concrete results filter in to award such a crucial state.

Whether or not Obama wins Florida, it seems unnecessary to so quickly award the 27 votes that come along with a victory in Florida.
