    You know, I wonder what effect all this news feed will have on the states whose voting stations still havent closed. You might see huge republican turnouts in the west trying to fight of the obamanation

    Its over man.
    Apparently no republican president has won without taking ohio according to BBC. Ohio is Obama's.

    Is anyone else a little bit choked up for Obama?

    Or am I just a sap?

    Haven't cried since 1986 but with the toxic levels of caffeine and the sleep-deprivation I may squeeze out a tear or two from sheer fragility. :D Ah jaysus Florida, hurry up.

    Fox have called Ohio. CNN have not.

    How high can obama go? 350+ seems very likely


    potentially 370 if everthing goes his way e.g virginia, indiana, nrt carolina, new mexico, nevada, colorado. i'm leaving arizona to mccain cos its just mean to rub his face in it in his home state

    CNN Just crunched its numbers and unless theres a huge upset from the exit polls, there is no plausible way for McCain to win.
