*Election night was interesting on major news networks, including ABC News with Diane Sawyer. The typically reserved hard news journalist strayed away from her style and caused a stir.
While the numbers were coming in at around 10 p.m. ET, she decided to call a state before it became official.
“OK,” Sawyer said at one point, “I wanna – can we have our music, because this is another big one here? Minnesota, we’re ready to project Minnesota, rrright now. … Well, tonight we know that President Barack has won Minnesota,” she rambled on, stumbling over the president’s name.

The conservative Twitter world didn’t appreciate the premature declaration.
By the end of the night, tweeters were calling to dunk her and joked that she was “tipsy” or “hammered” from some kind of prescription drug abuse that night.
Another likened it to an episode of HBO’s drama “The Newsroom,” where Will McAvoy, the fictitious anchorman, had eaten a couple of pot brownies before unexpectedly being summoned to his anchor desk to report a news story.
Maybe Diane was a bit excited or tired. But whatever it was, it was not a good look.
Check her out Sawyer’s “loopy-ness”:

baby girl was hammered like a nail !!! . . .Diane is not a favorite of mine b/c her voice is boring, and while it was still boring in the video, but she clearly made a fool of herself . . watch they’ll say a bad reaction to some meds, or exhaustion, over-excited . .
More evidence of how hard right wingers are coping with the victory.
They will find any excuse for lashing out at anyone for stating the obvious. Obama was going to be re-elected with or without Minnesota. So what’s the big deal?
Of course Diane was getting caught up in the moment of another historic victory. Everyone except them redneck crackas were.
The night before the election, I did a search on Nate Silver because of his reputation for calling elections. Most of my hits were right wing articles lambasting Silver for giving Obama such a high chance for winning. Denial is not just a river in Africa.
