The election, exit polls, updates and returns

So with the swing states that have already been called for Obama and adding his solid states in areas where polls haven't closed yet. You get this.

Swing States called for Obama, PA, NH, MI, and WI...added to the 201 that were considered safe for Obama...he has 251 electoral votes.

If he wins Florida it is over.

If he wins Ohio, he is at 269 and needs just one more state out of Iowa, Virginia, Colorado, or Nevada.

Looking good for Obama.

Because they have exit polling.

Just because they call it doesn't mean they stop counting votes, all the votes are going to be counted.

Hey, if it really isn't solid for Obama, then we just get to laugh at the media for calling it wrong.

or...


The WI delegates are not voting with the people. I'd like to know who the WI delegates are and why they are so quick to go blue and against the popular vote.

Delegates play no role in the Presidential election, they can't go rogue and vote for someone else.

Warren wins MA Senate woohoo!
Joe Kennedy III wins Barney Franks seat.

lol echo chamber is ringing with Sandy and Christie. You want to place blame? How bout putting all your eggs in the white male basket?

And it is beyond sad that a man can't put his constituents ahead of an election without being called a traitor. That is disgusting.

That right there is why I will never vote Democrat always with the freaking race card sounds like someone parrotting left wing talking points.

Thought It was rather clear of "who I was dissappointed in" actually said as much in a early post that was a broad brush without skin color, or what was in their bank accounts.

147//158 Obama/Romney

CNN

REMINDER~~~~

The election, exit polls, updates and returns

is the topic.....

Please avoid bickering and editorializing and keep to factual reporting of the election returns.

Thanks

good riddance to Barney Frank...that guy was a walking disaster.

I'm glad Todd Akin lost.

I wouldn't care if he is red or blue - - he's a moron.

Don't you think that's a bit strange? On election night? Shouldn't the ticket be in the same place?

I find that really strange.

I didn't know that they split up tonight.

MSNBC - tied at 162 each. CNN - 158, Romney, 147, Obama. FNC - 162 Romney, 157 Obama.

These results are all over the board! Seems like they are all using different criteria for calling these states. I guess we will all have to lose sleep, and get the real results when most of the votes are actually in! Not sure I trust a lot of the calls. Some, sure. Some aren't in question. Others, not so sure. So, everyone take a deep breath! Let it out slowly. Don't chew those fingernails. Have a stiff drink, or a cup of tea, or some chocolate. We aren't going to be sure for a while, I don't think!

New updates -

MSNBC - 163-162 Romney
CNN - 158-147, Romney
FNC - 163-158 Romney

Romney's "path to 270" is shrinking drastically. Pretty interesting how swing state strategy works. The balance isn't working for the GOP at the moment. Obama has at least three paths still open.

Obama is up in Florida by 48,000 votes with 86% reporting.

The majority of the areas that are still out are still very heavy democratic.

Romney is going to close that by about 35,000 in that one unreported county (Santa Rosa), but I don't think there is enough to win.

Still looking very very good for Obama.

One county in Ohio that went to Bush in '04, and Obama in '08, has gone to Romney tonight. Didn't catch the name - sorry! Promising, though! Still too close to call, overall.

Obama about to take Nevada says CBS. If he wins Florida it's over. That ones gonna be close all the way and Ohio is close as hell with O slightly ahead.

Wasn't Nevada número uno in unemployment and foreclosure?


CBS
173 - 167 Romney Obama

Obama takes Minnesota
