It turned out to be a matter of how they were interprething things, one amost a straight noting of which converged as the numbers got more indicative of what was going on.
The two broadcasts (what's the word for TV? I've just woken up) we were watching started at 6 pm, when counting started in the eastern states which really is rather pointless at first. We (sister and me) speculated on how this might have an effect on voters in the west. Is someone more likely to go with the flow, or try to contradict it. If you care enough to contradict it, aren't you going to vote that way anyway?
