No big surprises so far.
McCain didn't have big enough margins in a couple early states (Indiana and Virginia) to hold out much hope for an election day miracle.
WE"RE DOOMED!!!!
Watch Missouri. Where Mo goes so goes the presidency...usually.

YES! there is finally hope for a democratic ruler! I'm feeling pretty good about this election, too bad I won't be able to find out who won until tommorow, cus they are gonna announce the results too late at night here in NY.

ABC and NBC just predicted Obama won Ohio. If history serves, it's gonna be tough for McCain to recover. Have to wait and see...

Watching this election on the various network stations, I can say it is a testament to all Americans who've gotten out and supported both of these candidates. Times Square is starting to look like New Years Eve. Chicago is getting over a million people to show up for Obama's camp. However this thing turns out, at least it can be said that Democracy works.

They just predicted Texas for McCain. No surprise, but an interesting demographic when you zoom down to the counties screen, is all the major cities in Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio) went to Obama.

Pennsylvania going to Obama means McCain needed a perfect run to win.
Unless something remarkable happens this election ended when Ohio was called for Obus.
You would have to have Washington and maybe even Oregon swing to McCain for this to work for him. AINT HAPPENIN.
