Watch my typing get sloppy - its 1.00am here too!!

MSNBC

[edit on 4-11-2008 by marker3221]

So far I am playing the states:

If Obama gets NC and Florida,

McCain needs to get all Bush states +Penn, which MSNBC is calling.
and it will still be close, McCain needs one more state

Stay on topic please!!!!

Semper

obama wins penn which leaves ohio as the only road to victory for mccain

Seems awfully early to be calling Pennsylvania given the fact that MSNBC is reporting exactly zero votes from that state so far. Then again, maybe its just me.

I'm being optimistic for McCain, yes its reporting zero, but I am getting the feeling that he might win it.

For McCain to win, he needs Penn, all of Bush's states, including Ohio and Indian, and 5 more electoral votes. If he had Florida with Penn, he would win easily.

I am calling it this:Obama Win: 51-48%, 272-265... recount in Indiana/Ohio/Penn possible if Obama losses.

Update: Florida: McCain is catching up, we need to wait and see, otherwise, we can give it to Obama.

Granted, I've always thought he had a decent shot, I'm becoming more optimistic about McCain's chances as well. The Florida and North Carolina votes have me concerned, but otherwise, its not too bad.

The Pennsylvania call by MSNBC and now Fox makes little sense, though. No votes reported by either. I think that state will end up back in the 'too close to call' category before the night is over.

Yes, with McCain losing by 8% in NC with only 8% reporting, there is a chance, but may not

Florida is looking better, only 5% with 33% reporting.

McCain needs both and Penn badly.

On Fox the electoral votes at 8:30pm EST are:
Obama 103
McCain 54

Fox News just gave Pennsylvania to Obama.... not looking good for John McCain...it might be over early.

MSNBC:

Alabama called for McCain!

Obama has a lead of 58,000 votes in the popular vote.


edit to add: Virginia turnout estimated at 80%


Georgia just called for McCain by MSNBC again.

(copy of my post from the Obama thread)

At 8:42 CNN has Obama at 102 and McCain at 34...not sure why this is different from every other news channel I view, though.

McCain is currently loses electoral but wining popular...

Obama is going to win Penn probably.

Florida is looking like a toss-up at this point.

It is going to be a long night

CNN has been real screwy this year with their election results, poll results,
etc.. I think it's because they're still trying to cover the world with a
30% budget cut over the Summer. Can't be everywhere at once on a
shoestring budget.

On the other hand, at this point, there has been no change in electoral votes from '04. Obama has not flipped a Bush state yet.

I still think that Pennsylvania call is too early, too.
