I guess because they wanted to avoid a repeat of Florida 2000.

The majority of the networks wanted Kerry over Bush. They were hoping deep down inside that Kerry would get close enough in Ohio, get a recount and pull it out.

I thought the media was biased in favor of Bush Jr. in both 2000 and 2004.

Geez it was Ohio not Hawaii, Hawaii has voted for the democrats in every election since 1960 except in 1972 , and 1984, and Carter beat Ford by 57 electoral votes can you please explain to me how those 4 votes decided the 1976 presidentail election?

I think he's saying OH and HI combined would have flipped the 1976 election to Ford.
