It is if Florida goes Obama (and it probably will). Florida = 27, California = 55.

California: we've got a shitload of Americans.

Gotta love the media..."2% of the votes have been counted and we have a winner...."
Besides the Truman upset way back when, the media a few years back had declared Jim McGreevey the next NJ governor....he wasn't. At that time, Christy Whitman had won. McGreevey got it the next time tho.

the west coast states, with new mexico - which has also been called - and that's that.

Do you see McCain winning any west coast state?

There we go ladies and gentlemen, that's the winner.

Oh, I think Florida, NC, Virginia and Indiana are going for Obama. Honestly.!

I hate being this much of a junky to the spectacle.

it doesn't matter which way Florida goes, the only thing holding this back is the fact that reporters aren't going to call it until the polls close.
but it really is over...now to the important elections: senators!

Looks pretty done and dusted - unless no one shows up to vote on the west coast, can't see how McCain can win.

I remember Florida in 2000. Until it is a mathematical impossibility with the gap in between them greater than the number of ballots left, I don't believe it.

I raise my glass ehrm CUP of tea...a toast.
"To our new President~ Barack Obama!! Long may he live!"
(maybe I should get something stronger to drink... something a bit more celebratory)

think of this - how many people will be convinced Obama is not a muslim, different, socialist extremist after 4 years in office?

Even Texas isn't too far this time... What about next?

Based on my math, it's won for Obama. Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC have Obama with 207 electoral votes. If you give him California, Oregon, and Washington, he's won--55+7+11=73 electoral votes, and he's obviously going to carry these states.
