Why do you say that ? Beachnutt Nov 5 #1

And who do you think they know won? cyndensco Nov 5 #3

Kamala. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #6

Really? Seriously? Get out! tinrobot Nov 5 #13

I wish But how would they know samsingh Nov 5 #22

Because they are political insiders that have contacts with campaign insiders that know more than anyone else... W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #25

They're frankly giddy. dchill Nov 5 #28

If they call it early Dumpy Nov 5 #12

I always enjoy looking for those non verbal cues they give off. aeromanKC Nov 5 #2

I don't care how giddy somebody is. LisaL Nov 5 #5

Some of us trust people in-the-know rather than random perma-Debbie downers on the internet, though. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #8

lol WarGamer Nov 5 #15

People in the know haven't actually said they know who won, so what are you trusting here? LisaL Nov 5 #27

How could they know who won when the votes haven't been counted yet? LisaL Nov 5 #4

Because they are getting direct information from campaign insiders that get paid to do this. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #9

Voter turnout precinct by precinct doesn't tell you how these people voted. LisaL Nov 5 #16

They can make a good goddamn educated guess. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #20

votes haven't been counted... Crystal Ball doesn't count WarGamer Nov 5 #17

We aren't talking Trump-paid pollsters here. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #21

So insiders get to count votes before State officials? Ok I understand WarGamer Nov 5 #23

Using your rationale, I suppose you don't trust when they call states early before all the votes are counted, right? W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #29

But nobody calls the state before any vote is counted. LisaL Nov 5 #32

Bullshit. Some will be immediately called the second polls closed and before any votes are reported. W_HAMILTON Nov 5 #34

Yeah, we just don't know that Harris is going to win California AZSkiffyGeek Nov 5 #35

If you don't think the campaigns have very accurate polls Cuthbert Allgood Nov 5 #18

My heart oh my! Dem4life1234 Nov 5 #10

They don't know jack. Sorry lol. kerouac2 Nov 5 #11

I hope you're right! BootinUp Nov 5 #14

No. They really don't. Scrivener7 Nov 5 #19

wow! PA not counted yet and they know. how was this knowledge revealed? DoBW Nov 5 #24

They are smiling, so the OP here thinks they know everything. LisaL Nov 5 #26

Were they equally optimistic early on back in 2016? regnaD kciN Nov 5 #31

No AZSkiffyGeek Nov 5 #33

they don't know yet, but at the very least they aren't looking worried yet, which is good fishwax Nov 5 #30
