CNN map looks like there's a lot of panhandle that hasn't come in yet. It'll be a race to the finish between the Miami Dade and all the panhandle votes. I need Romney to pull out FL!

Duck Soup

Sherrod Brown projected to keep his Senate seat in Ohio.

Capt'n Midnight

Have yet to see a county in Florida that has given Romney the 1.4% swing he needs to win the state. Some rich white suburban counties getting swings about 1% swing to Romney, but many less. A few in the very conservative panhandle showing a swing TO Obama (from a low base).

cristoir

CNN have the best coverage but are very conservative and careful in the time of their projections.

Does anyone know the number of military from FL who vote absentee, and when their votes get counted?

Much smaller than 2008, probably due to the lower deployment cycle, but arguably also due to the lackadaisical MOVE act compliance by the DOD. 37,953 absentee votes were requested by Florida military voters, and assume a number of those will not be submitted.

Yes, I'm very surprised by how aggressively NBC is calling some of these states.

RTE seem to be very quick to project results, they always seem to be about 20 electoral votes ahead of CNN.

Duck Soup

The Republican ticket has already lost its two home states, Wisconsin and Massachusetts.

It won't matter if Obama gets Ohio...and given that he's got Pennsylvania and Michigan, that's looking more and more likely.

With wisconsin, just Ohio and NH are enough.

Joe Donnelly beats Richard "Rape is God's Will" Mourdock in the Indiana Senate race.

I think there's almost no way Romney can win Ohio looking at these numbers. Comon Obama in Ohio! And go Romney in FL and VA.

southsiderosie

With 42% of votes reported in Ohio, Obama is up 52-47.

68Murph68

Doing some flicking there a fair few pundits/talking heads provisionally calling it for Obama.

The Republican on RTE has pretty much conceeded defeat talking about 2016.

Democrat senator Sherrod Brown holds seat in Ohio. Good omen for Obama?

WOW CNN CALLING MA & IN FOR DEMS.

Agreed. Ohio is no sure thing though.

Obama currently 20k ahead in Florida. Fecking hell.

Obama 100k ahead in Colorado.

nagilum2

All senate races falling as predicted. Republican moron loses in IN. And no Republican can win a national office in MA in a general election.

Republican on RTE was saying that in his opinion this result made it very hard to see Romney winning in Ohio.

Duck Soup

New Hampshire called for Obama.

I live in a very lefty part of Massachusetts, and people were really worried that Brown would win because he was seen as moderate and competent. But then he started acting like a national Republican rather than a New England moderate, and that didn't go over well.

I have to wonder if the GOP isn't going to purge itself of its far-right extremists after this election cycle. They have essentially cost the GOP the senate.

Capt'n Midnight

NH for Obama

So a Florida win would do (baring surprises)

Will be interesting to see what the Tea Party portion of the party do and how their cries of Romney "not being conservative enough" will go down. Could see it getting nasty when all the blame is flying around.

Guy in CNBC says Romney to win must take Fla, Vir, NH, Ohio AND Nevada - all 5 !

Ohio would do without FL.

matthew8

Senate is crap news for republicans, messed it up again. Looks like Florida will go for Obama too, very hard to see it going Romney. Once Florida goes Obama I don't want to know about the rest of the map. On the bright side marijuana legalisation and gay marriage is leading in some states.

feargale

Just now CNBC has Obama edge ahead in Fla.

Zemuppet

BBC declare Minnesota for Obama

Duck Soup

Obama campaign confident about Florida, as Broward County and Miami-Dade still to be added to the total.

Brian?

No matter what else happens it looks like the Dems will hold the senate.

I felt the exact same thing. I live in Boston. Brown really shot himself in the foot with the negative ads regarding being a native american and about her legal cases. Turned the whole race negative.

Anyone else think that Anderson Cooper looks like Roger Sterling?


Or is this old news?

CNN Projects Utah for Romney

They're surely close to calling Florida for Obama?
From looking at CNN, the only major counting left is in Miami which is strongly for Obama
