I'm curious how this could be called for McCain so early when Obama currently has 57% and McCain has 42%??? Would someone kindly enlighten me? Thank you

How can you declare McCain the winner in South Carolina when you have Obama leading right now 57% to 42%?! I know it's election night but you really need to get your facts together!

will someone please explain to me how McCain won SC when it is clear to see that Obama has more votes?

Hey NBC - Why isn't Michigan listed on your poll closing list on Brian's newscast (along the side of the screen)?? They close at 8:00 EST.

Ah, no sooner do I post my concern that it seems to be fixed. Disregard my previous complaint.

How is it possible to call SC when there are so many people still voting? In some polling places you can't even see the end of the line! One reporter in Greenville said that people will be voting for at least another hour and a half. Do their votes not count?

How can McCain be the projected winner of S. Carolina with 44% and Obama 55%?? Isn't 55% larger than 44%? Is this a new math that I'm not aware of?
