10 percent lead with 18 percent called?

MN and WI are in play too.

This ain't over by a longshot.

Same with PA. They always load Philly first, and as the night goes on the numbers stack up.

FOX still has T E X A S too close to call.

Welcome to the thread, Ben. Good on ya for showing up and taking your lumps like a man.

I just got back from work.

Wouldn't miss Obama losing for the world.

Noted.

It's what happened four years ago in PA. They called it instantaneously and Bush damn near took it.

Oh, Ben. It's nice to see you again. Will you be joining us in the real world?

Apparently not

We live in exponential times. I am not surprised at all that a "black" man has been elected as president.

NBC calls NM for Obama.

That plus CA, OR and WA gives him the White House. He's won.

Another way to look at it: in 538's final run of 10,000 simulations, there were 8757 where Obama won Ohio, and he won the election in every single one of those.

GG everyone.

Ben, you have no idea what's going on, which is the problem.

Obama is outperforming Kerry in PA, and McCain is underperforming Bush. It doesn't take a physicist to figure out that McCain is toast.

It's over Ben! He's lost Ohio and PA. He can't win now.
Just admit it

If we get to the point where we have county-level polling data for a few Pres elections it's going to be even easier to call these things in the couple of days prior to an election.

[Ben Kenobi]

Why haven't they called Missouri yet?

10 point lead for McCain.

I'm trying to decide if the gloating that will be happening on the live Daily Show/Colbert Report in 10 minutes will be hilarious or insufferable or both. I'm watching regardless.
