No. The networks insist on declaring winners as soon as they possibly can by using exit polls in those states that could go either way. Sometimes all they need to declare a winner is seeing how a particular state has voted thereby knowing how many electoral votes each candidate has gotten. They keep track of the voting patterns throughout the country this way and can predict fairly accurately the outcome of the election, sometimes even before the Midwest polls close. This year Pennsylvania is shaping up as a key state. Some political observers feel that McCain cannot win the election unless he wins Pennsylvania. This is just speculation of course. But it is possible that networks might declare a winner soon after or even just before polls close in Pennsylvania.
