    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
    you have to remember that only so many states have reported in/been seclared. polls in the midwest arent even closed yet and its in those states where the republicans will gain plenty of ground.

    RTE said that ABC and NBC have called PENN for Obama

    Like last time SKY make a big song and dance and RTE just keep an eye on what the other networks are saying, even for the UK elections they seemed to be way ahead of SKY reporting results and projections.

    I don't think you understand how votes are counted.

    The chances are, that the votes counted in Texas probably came from an urban, democrat area.

    I would put my life on Texas staying Republican.
