    Why are BBC calling Penn? Do they think they know more than the american networks?
    They mentioned that they're affiliated with ABC network, so presumably ABC have called it too.

    Yeah CNN has it at 77/34 but those are just estimates and predictions. If you look at the CNN map http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/ it tells you how many precincts have actually reported in. For example theyve already called Maine for Obama even though 0% of precincts have reported in.

    Early voting heavily favoured Obama across the US, if he holds that lead it will be very good...

    It seems to be Obama running away with it at this stage. I have no doubt he will win, but surely McCain will rally at some point
