Something wrong with this picture?

Unless I am blind, this has Edwards with 59%, Kerry with 22%, with 0% reporting...but Kerry has the big red check-mark next to his name.

7:08pm ET. Look fast, I assume this will change.

1. It's just the magic of sampling
Wait an hour or two until the real results come in.

3. Just caught that too
I posted it on the poll thread. Is CNN blind, or are they really showing their bias?

4. That is very wacky
What does it mean? I also heard on NPR that Kucinich came in third in Maine. But that was the last I heard (unsurprisingly) from the media about it. Can anyone confirm?

I HATE THE MEDIA

8. Not sure
What's wrong? The fact that they have projected Edwards? That is the key precinct sampling. Percentage? Not sure what you were worried about.

9. Just struck me funny
CNN on the TV is blaring that Kerry won, yet my first look on their totals page had an Edwards blowout. :)
