2. why don't they call it for Obama?

i guess i just can't figure out how these networks call states...

[bidenista]

5. i think a big issue is which precincts are reporting

The networks probably have demographic data which influences when they feel confident enough to call.

[TheWraith]

13. Exactly. They want to be more certain that the exit polling is right before making a call.

Besides which, Alabama probably isn't the highest priority they're watching at the moment.

9. It'll change when more votes come in

No way Obama wins by that huge of a margin, the polls were predicting a pretty close race there. But still, it's definitely an encouraging sign for Obama to be ahead by that much early on.

10. Obama won 82% of the black vote. Hillary only won 72% of the white vote

The final tally will be closer but Obama will win comfortably. They only call blowouts early.
