    He's miles ahead in Florida, which if he takes basically means he's won

    EXIT POLLS!!!!!!!!!!

    CAUTION!!!!!!!!

    The head to head exit polls just were sent to the Huffington Post by a Democratic source. These are traditionally unreliable and should be taken with a grain of salt (see: Kerry's winning margins in 2004). For what it's worth, they project a big night for Obama in several of the key swing states.

    The states looking good for Obama:

    Florida: 52 percent to 44 percent
    Iowa: 52 percent to 48 percent
    Missouri: 52 percent to 48 percent
    North Carolina: 52 percent to 48 percent
    New Hampshire: 57 percent to 43 percent
    Nevada: 55 percent to 45 percent
    Pennsylvania: 57 percent to 42 percent
    Ohio: 54 percent to 45 percent
    Wisconsin: 58 percent to 42 percent
    Indiana: 52 percent to 48 percent
    New Mexico: 56 percent to 43 percent
    Minnesota: 60 percent to 39 percent
    Michigan: 60 percent to 39 percent

    The states where McCain is leading in exit polls:

    Georgia: 51 percent to 47 percent
    West Virginia: 45 percent to 55 percent

    Still too early to call, still counting very early stages.

    Allow for 3/4 % margin of error on EXIT's.

    either one of them could be up against an animal and it would still be a close one!! Don't worry Basquille, theres still a long way to go. Anything can happen. And hey, no matter what the outcome, they have to be better than Bush, right? Right?

    Fox has called it which is why Sky News has called it... ABC is an affiliate of BBC, ABC haven't called it hence BBC haven't called it.

    Obviously going to be closer than some thought.

    But still expect Obama to win, just not by loads.

    Will keep things interesting folks.

    From what I can see, McCain has gone from not having a snowballs chance, to having a squeak of a chance.
