Fox radio show and a weekend Fox News Channel program, he knows how much easier it is to "sit on the outside and throw rocks."

Most of the time, media professionals wait for news to happen before reporting it. On election night, however, veteran journalists dispense with tradition and race to declare a winner before all the votes are counted, relying mainly on surveys of voters exiting the polls and partial tallies of ballots cast.

Sure, the TV networks will be competing to declare America's next President. But restraint will prevail, the intense pressure to keep you from switching to a more exciting channel be damned.
