    Florida was just called for Obama

    324/155 at the moment.

    A heck of a landslide.

    republicans booing their president, i thought republicans were proud patriots. the real mccain, the one that made the concession speech, would have faired much better in this election. this could go to about 374 for Obama...

    have to say mccain was gracious in defeat. always thought he'd had to take positions he didn't agree with just to get the republican base behind him (rightly or wrongly) but has gone out on a high. shame on those at the rally who booed obama's name

    A great concession speech there by Mc Cain which showed a side of him which hadn't been evident thus far in the campaign.

    You know Mc Cains speech makes you realise hes with the wrong party, hes given a speech to try and heal the divide. You listen to these Republicans booing at the mention of Obamas name. What dreadful people..

    Couldn't agree more.

    Wisely they didnt let Palin say anything

    I hung back on North Carolina but this is probably likelier

    Hell of a win by Obama - Winning Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania really gave him the big margin - with Virginia and New Mexico tasty bonuses as it looks likely Indiana and North Carolina will be as well

    I'm beginning to like Gore Vidal, listening to him on BBC!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
