    That slim chance that McCain had is now slipping.

    I'm going to call this now. Obama has won.

    CNN are the last to call anything, still 77-34 and refusing to call PA.

    that's wise with 0% of the votes counted !

    There haven't been any surprises yet (though Elizabeth Dole just got knocked out - heehee!) and neither CNN or Fox are calling pensylvania, so I wouldnt be so quick on that one.

    The two coasts are much the same voting wise. Living near the Ocean must be good for the senses.

    McCain has no chance in hell of taking Pennsylvania, this state was Democrat last time around and with the McCain vote down on the Bush vote, it's 99.99% Democrat now.
