Man, the teabaggers with rip Romney a new one, that's for sure. After all, he's such a convienient target.

Now, if Obama wins Florida, it would be rubbing salt into the wound.

Wow, looks like Obama will top 300 votes for the extra winning.

CNN still hasn't called it.

Even if it doesn't matter, Calling Ohio for Obama is so premature it's not funny.

Even if he does win, right now he doesn't have enough of the votes to win.

I'm sorry, but with only 65% of precincts reporting this is absurdly premature. A state should not be called that is, with 18 electoral votes, only a separate of some 80,000 votes, when a mere 65% of precincts are reporting, people can continue voting as long as they're in line when the polls close, and the difference of 80,000 votes is less than that of the various absentee and provisional ballots that will be counted later. It is fallacious and blatant pandering to the news cycle of "present a narrative for the 11 PM eastern news" of calling Ohio at this stage. Don't get your hopes up yet.

So, Nate Silver predicted the whole thing pretty well. Looks like 538 gets a reputation boost.

Even if Obama doesn't win Ohio, he is still fairly set to win Florida, and that counts more in the long run.

EDIT: And personally, I don't see reason to doubt he will win either of them at this point, even once all the votes are tallied.

Doesn't matter. The news media sold itself for ratings. There are more outstanding votes than the margin of victory.
