Why does Chuck Todd sound so down?

[wolverinez]

This is an exciting, historic election.

[high density]

1. He and Rachel have been major downers all night

In one breath, Todd admits that big OBama counties in IN and VA have not been counted, while in the next breath he puts out that Obama isn't flipping red states. Of course the call of OH just shut that up.

8. He's probably just stressed to the max. n/t

[orleans]

14. maybe rach is afraid to jinx it--n/t

[Curtland1015]

2. Him possibly being a Repig aside... he's probably just plain TIRED.

Really how much must these people bust their ass the last few months of a campaign?

Not that I feel sorry for him, but really, he's probably worn the f*ck out.

[onefreespiritedchick]

11. Chuck Todd is not a Repug. Towing the corporate line, yes. n/t

[Eric J in MN]

3. He's the guy who uninvited Dennis Kucinich to a Democratic debate...

...after Kucinich had qualified to participate and had received an invitation.

[azmouse]

4. His guy McCain is going to lose.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. Maybe he realized he doesn't have a central nervous system.

Fucking douche bag.

[sfam]

6. Because the game is over and its barely the first quarter...

They wanted another 5 hours of this minimum.

[bdamomma]

7. I am not watching MSNBC I switched over to CNN

[Bombtrack]

9. Because he's a pube-faced toolbox

[JBoy]

10. Because he goes back on a shelf for 4 years.

[tpi10d]

12. trying to increase drama..hold the audience.

It's clear Obama is outperforming Kerry by a significant margin almost everywhere. I suspect Axelrod and Plouffe were confident when some of the Indiana returns showed +15% over Kerry.

California is still voting, they don't want criticism regarding calling the race too soon. But the big thing is they want to keep the viewers tuned in by not tipping their hand too soon.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. He's like a boring miserable associate professor in a Sociology 101 class.
