I suggest that you keep updating the OP as each state is called.

DrPizza -- you can merge this if you want.

 

[DrPizza]

Seriously - Vermont? You want to keep the OP updated? If so, I can lock the thread I just made - we posted it nearly simultaneously.

edit: merge is a good idea.

 

[Subyman]

Place your bets boys

 

[nextJin]

Kentucky for Romney.

 

[Farang]

I'll stick to what I said earlier.. we should know relatively early (even if it isn't called until late). If the numbers are not surprising anyone, Obama has won.

The Vermont announcement was obviously a joke. 🙂

 

[Charles Kozierok]

DrPizza -- delete my lead post if you can, yours makes more sense to have up front.

[UberNeuman]

Operation Drink Beer is underway!

\will be glad when this is over.....

So far, the most spectacular thing about this election is Chuck Todd's cool touch screen on NBC 😀

I don't understand how they're calling states with 4% and 0% reporting.

Agreed - Kentucky only has 4.4% of the votes in.

 

[Farang]

Drinking game?

Drink 3 every time someone says "Ohio, Ohio, Ohio"

 

[Todd33]

Change the title to "buckshot24 vs. Nate Silver".

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

They are really holding out on these Virginia results hehe.

Some are just obvious, for instance they could technically just call CA for Obama. In any case the only thing that matters are the few battleground states.

They are really holding out on these Virginia results hehe.

0 reporting out of 3565.

 

[Demo24]

Not sure how Vermont is called already with 0% reporting on my screens..but ok

 

[Charles Kozierok]

Nothing so far showing any indication that the state polling of the last few weeks has been off. But it's early.

 

[randomrogue]

It's 1am here and I want to go to bed. Call Florida for Obama so I can get some shuteye please!

 

[CrystalBay]

Yes ,operation drink has begun. However my weapon of choice is Pinot Noir.
