Van Hollen calls NBC projection of House "A Mistake"

Hmm, lets see how things work out. I'm sure we lost house, but maybe not by as much as NBC believes??

2. The mistake, margin aside

is calling it before the friggin' polls close in the West.

15. EXACTLY!!! And I LOVE Lawrence O'Donnell for making a VERY clear statement

to that effect... essentially said that he would HATE for this projection to dissuade anyone out west from still GETTING THE HELL OUT and voting.

7. could be a couple of things...

1) the margin they are calling it for the GOP is off and/or 2) they shouldn't have called it before polls closed in the west.

6. That's why they say +/- 13 seats

So they can say they were right, even when they're wrong.

12. Better than who predicted? Dick Morris?

We're right dead in the center of most of the most respected predictions.

I don't know whether it's 55-60-65 seats right now, but it sure looks like it's in that range. Which matches Cook... Silver... Sabato... Rothenberg, etc. predictions.

18. When it's raining sh1t... don't blame the guy who points it out.

Does it make you feel better to attack the messenger? Fine... it's cheaper than scotch and better for your health. :)

9. Why would they call such a thing before the polls close?

It depresses the vote!

21. because those in power who call political races have NEVER cared about

those States "out west." As a first-time voter - 40 plus years ago - I learned that my vote never counted...why bother?

11. Considering Fox 2000 and computers being used as crystal balls now ...

maybe we should go back to reporting ACTUAL vote tallies -- ???

14. He's not necessarily lying...the margins may be what he's disagreeing with

MSNBC's seemed exaggerated and hasty.
