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.

CBS "hesitant", but the others have called.

The essentially said they would not call a result on the basis of exit polls tonight unless there was not a shadow of a doubt.

Yep.

If Florida goes to Obama, this election is only a formality.

CNN: New Hampshire called for Obama only 4 votes but a body blow for McCain personally

trishasaffron

Listening to all those articulate young asian and african-americans on Sky you just wonder whether there is any future for the Fox media model. The only thing they had going for them was power and without power no one's going to be listening to them.

"Julie" on Sky keeps saying "too close to call" - rubbish

degausserxo

NY, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado and New Mexico in half an hour.

CBS are calling Pennsylvania for Obama, and ergo, that he will win the presidency :eek:
