Not yet. But with Penn. looking bad and Ohio not looking good, Romney needs Florida to stay in the race.

You would think these talking heads would learn to be patient and quit trying to call states. I think more than a few news outlets will have egg on their face tonight.

For what states are you thinking?

I haven't seen any odd calls yet.

Bein "first" is sometimes more important than being right.

Someone from RCP just tweeted that he would be really surprised if Romney wins Virginia.

Not looking good for Romney

FL and NC...they keep reporting precincts and exit polls for different demogrpahics - trying to infer something.

Ah, I see.

Yeah, depending on what channel your own...they have to keep their viewers interested.

It is turning out to be this: Where do you get your news from? Fox News has the projections as one way, NBC another, CNN....surprise, they have their own too! MSNBC? Well lookie there.....

How about we lose some anxiety and let the people vote, let the country settle and we figure it all out once the dust settles?

Anyone, my predictions are FL to Romney, OH -- too close to call, VA to Romney, NV to Obama, CO to Obama....and a surprise state swings...maybe this is my hopes to shut up the pollsters.

Link the tweet??! Muse, stop playing politics and just enjoy the evening.....

ETA:
If I am to read them right, exit polling has the following: 42% (Obama) 56% (Romney)

The sobbing/celebrating will take place in another.

Ah it was no knock on you my furry friend. Actually what I see happening is all the MSM's abdicating responsibility and putting "social media" square under their mammoth bus tires.

Galicia Malone's contractions were five minutes apart when she arrived at her polling place in Cook County, Illinois, this morning, but that didn't stop her from studying the ballot carefully and making sure her vote counted.

just posting this to show the lengths some people are doing to get to the voting booths

I am calling the election for Obama.
