10PM POLL CLOSINGS:

Romney: UT, MT
Too Early: IA, NV (both Obama leading)

My understanding is that Obama currently leads in Florida by 13k votes and most of the Romney counties have been largely exhausted, I think Florida is cinched guys! :)

Is that good (I mean, in relative numbers)?

That's with 50% of the votes in. So it could still go either way.

(at least, as of when I last checked)

I think we will see a call on FL soon.

My Electoral College math puts Obama at 263 and Romney at 191 votes, with CO's 9, FL's 29, NC's 15, OH's 18, and VA's 13 outstanding.

In case case you are really bad at math, Obama only needs to win ONE of those states to win.

CNN called New Hampshire for Obama.

Not looking good for Romney in Florida. Most of his counties have already been counted in full, while Obama still has many pending votes; yet Obama is up 40,000.

Ouch.

I guess half a dozen Republicans are now plotting 2016 runs.

Well, it won't be Mitt, that's for sure. All or nothing for him.

I think it's time to call NC. With 83% of the vote in, Romney is at 51% with 1,947,816 votes and Obama 47% with 1,815,822 votes.

There's no way there's +100,000 net Obama votes left to be reported.

NE-2 called for Romney, which went to Obama last election.

Virginia should prove interesting, as Romney's lead there is right now meaningless, since only 10% of the D.C. suburbs have been counted (and these are STONGLY Democatic).

Fun fact: Check out Gary E. Johnson in Florida. He's a right-wing candidate who got several tens of thousands of votes, perhaps exactly the votes that could cost Romney victory. Why am I reminded of the Demcrats and Nader?

Romney would have to sweep almost all of the swing states to win now. He is screwed.

I'm buzzed (It's election time, time to start drinking!) and now Obama is one swing state away from calling the night early.

NC is probably going to go Romney, but Virgina could go Obama...interesting...

Fox News commentary.

"See the thing is, that women are stupid, timid creatures, that want a nanny state" -fox news

FOX NEWS: "WE ARE BECOMING A MORE BROWN COUNTRY"

I think they pulled O'Reilly because he was also putting his foot in his mouth with him stating that the "white establishment could've kept Obama out 20 years ago."

My god, they're breaking down, they are in meltdown mode.

So they are racist, sexist and are fear-mongering? Tell us news.

Wait, they PULLED O'REILLY?!

Is there a live internet feed for fox news? I'm watching NBC's, but I'd love to watch a conservative meltdown.

Romney would have to have had a significant lead over Obama at this stage to counteract the surge Obama will get once the west coast gets counted. That's not going to happen.

Florida: at 87% of the votes, Obama leads by 50.000 votes. I guess he has to really thank Mr. Gary E. Johnson for ruining Florida for Romney.

Only Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria. Both Loudoun and PWC are toss ups that tend to lean to the Right(Arizona based it's infamous "Papers, comrade" immigration law on PWCs). George "Macaca" Allen(our GOP Senate Candidate) has been spending the last few days running around those two counties.

Couldn't edit my post, clarifying the quotes are reposting from SA.

From what I can tell, I'm having difficulty of where the webcast seems to be mostly just the B-Team, the people seeing the A-Team stuff said that O'Reilly was essentially blarring on that dog whistle siren so hard that it looks like they pulled him off before he said even more overtly racist crap and he hasn't been on since (as far as I know).

I'm watching Fox.

According to the schedule, O'Reilly starts in a half hour. Right now it's Rove trying to reassure everyone.

Fox is now claiming illegal voting done in Cincinnati Ohio. Apparently people not on the rolls tried to vote at a church and two voting officials one Rep one Dem allowed it.

Banging on the war drum about it.

My opinion? Mountain out of a mole hill.

What I find interesting is that, in this case, O'Reilly is probably right.
