    bob schieffer has moved a lot of states into "favoring obama" column and that "if current trends continue obama will win those states. if that happens and florida goes for obama, the election is over"..


    he also said that people in the romney campaign are publicly stating that they are "having a bad night".

    Seems like most people are ready to call it for Obama, since Miami-Dade is strong for him. I don't think anybody has yet, a little too close and they don't want to look like dipshits.

    What am I missing here? Just tuned into CBS for a few minutes and they show Romney ahead in the EC by 16.

    Yeah... but a lot of states aren't done reporting yet... or haven't reported at all. It's early. Florida is really close right now.

    florida nor Virginia will matter as long as OH, WI, MI, PA go Obama. At that point you got the toss up of IA, and NV which Obama has a lead in...

    Tomorrow I'm going to check in here and try to help the ones splat on the the floor—to rise.
    Right now, it's 162 to 163. that means Brianlux's vote has yet to count. He's one of us. Will you help brianlux rise with me—if his hopes are dashed? I know one thing: if the table was turned, Brianlux would help the other side.
    This is at the heart of this thread; it's not about %'s here or there, it's about supporting each other—regardless.

    Just projections. Some are more confident in their polls/projections coming in than others. Basically, they will call states like Mississippi, Alabama, New York without any real votes.

    Just wanted to pop in to say that the Senate races are incredibly interesting. Congrats to Warren and Sanders. Will be watching the Kaine-Allen race closely. Kaine is gaining ground by polls. Also rooting for Tester in MT.

    Bad night for rich idiots. I just wish Conneticut had more elective offices for Linda McMahon to not win.

    She may run for Congress or governor of the state. How much will throw in for those?

    Also Angus King in Maine is interesting. Elected as an independent, one has to think that he will caucus Dem, but he hasn't said as of yet.

    McCaskill should defeat Akin in Missouri as well, if it hasn't been called already. I'm on Politico who seems to be a little behind.
