Frankly I'm bored. The result is inevitably an Obama win. All that's left is morbid curiosity as to how bad exactly the GOP train wreak will turn out to be.
Plus, I'm a Colorado voter, and I want to see how it turns out.

By just 11K votes, though.
Yes but the only votes left to be counted are in the heavily democratic counties. Right now the biggest chunk outstanding remains Fairfax County. There are only 35% of the precincts in and Obama has a 77k-56k lead which should hold out. That would be another 40-50k net for Obama.

Obama won every Kerry state but the West Coast, and he won Ohio. That's an automatic victory because the West Coast simply will not go Republican. In essence, the race ended when they called Ohio for Obama. From then on, it's just not "if" but "by how much" Obama wins.

They just called Texas for McCain too, and too close in Montana and Nevada.

So, Obama has taken leads in Virginia, North Carolina and Flordia.
He is also closing in in Indiana (7k behind with 82% in). Looking at Lake County, it is going 70-30 for Obama with 75% (150k votes) in. So the last 25% are another 50k votes, which should net Obama another 20k vote advantage putting him in the lead in Indiana.
Looks like its going towards a 375-163 electoral vote win.

Well that, and I'm sure Obama is going to have a brilliant acceptance speech.
And then we all remember that getting our guy elected was the easy part -- now we all have to fix the country.

Comedy Central has called Ohio for Obama, and compared Ohio's flag to Cuba's flag.
Called New York and Pennsylvania for Obama and called McCain old.
Oh, and made a guns and religion joke.
Colbert won 0% of the vote in SC and made SC have a Triple Electoral Vote Score.

A few hours ago some of us were worried. Now we're posting Colbert jokes.
I'm just glad that I can sleep well knowing that the eight year American travesty is over.

Blerhurhurhur fuck that. I had to deal with Bushitler's supporters' orgasms and poor sportage right after the 04 election. They have the fucking nerve to act like they're a bulwark against socialism after 8 years of corn-in-the-shit bullshiat. I have no god damn patience for them. FUCK THEM.
There is no fucking reason to spell it out in Ivy-league debate fashion. It's clear as piss after you had a litre of sweet nectar.

MSNBC has recently noted that New England has completely booted the Republican Party from Congress. No GOP Reps or Senators at all.

CNN Update:
54 Democrats, 36 Republicans, 10 Uncalled.
132 Democrats, 82 Republicans, 221 Uncalled.
30% of the nation has now voted. Miami reporting is coming into play, Obama just opened up 100,000 more lead in Florida- he's at +250,000. Only the Pensacola Suburb in Santa Rosa county has not reported- it'll go McCain but not very much. Pensacola itself is half done reporting, and Miami is only 40%, yet Obama's gone up +250,000. I could see him winning by half a million.
MSNBC is talking about Obama as if he were President. Because he now is. They've called 207, so soon he'll win in the calling.
