It's based on exit polling. Exit polls aren't perfect, and they won't call it if it's close, but if it's a blowout, and agrees with what they were expecting, they will.

Exit polling. Actually, they called it with 0% reporting.

I was just responding to the Clinton camp spin. I'm not going to get into nasty, petty games with anyone. Facts are facts. She will win the big states. It wasn't necessary for the spin they put on those two states. btw, I'm an Indie for McCain.
