"Comes to call, close to call, rule vs. reign" might be subtle

[Srdjan]

ciao,

just recently i have met words "comes to call", often can be heard in songs or be a part of a headline. Relating to the previous, "come to call".


I have found one in a book as :
" Nixon saw the race as still too close to call".
or

Feel , Robbie Williams
"I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I’m loving angels instead"

also a headline:
"Dick Cheney Comes To Call"

the second question: rule vs. reign

" Ike(Eisenhower) had long been sensitive to suggestions that he had reigned rather than ruled."

thanx in adv.

.
'too close to call' = too narrow a margin to declare or discern a winner.
'to come to call' = to visit at another's home.
'to reign' = to hold the position of monarch
'to rule' = to command
