Not specific to this election, but I have always thought about the media in this way. It’s in the media’s best interest to keep us guessing because nobody pays attention to a blowout.
If we are to believe conventional media there are enough swing states and undecided voters to keep the race open but this is simply not the case. Newspapers, radio and TV want to keep us guessing, because that is what will deliver circulation and audience but the social web is telling us the America has decided and Obama will be the 44th president of the United States.
