Is your life better already?

My guess is that it'll be called in under 2 hours.

How does NBC call PA but CNN does not?

They should all have to agree before calling it IMO.

NBC is probably just trying to alter the midwest vote...calling a big one like PA for Obama = people more likely to vote for him

CNN said it wouldn't call any battleground state on the basis of exit polling alone. That said, the exit polling numbers in PA are HUGE for Obama. Still, we need real numbers.

I predict that McCain concedes before 22:00 EST. 😀

I hear the oceans have already cooled.
 
Its now 20:22.

I notice how Fox News has not called PA yet for Obama. It was called at 20:00 by NBC and MSNBC. I think its because several McCain surrogates said McCain cannot win the election without PA.

Bias much????????
 
As most of us thought, no need to stay up late tonight. Hard to say where it will end up bit it looks like the projections of electorals were probably not wildly off. McCain's "The pundits have called it against us before" seems to have run out.

I am somewhat bored watching this because there's no nail-biter. I'm more simply tired of waiting for the closure. Maybe I'll watch fox for a bit, see them sweat.
 
The Media is blowing their Load right now. Enjoy the ratings while they last. Come next week, your going to lose some massive ad dollars.

look at all the new toys they all have to assist them talk about nothing even longer.
 
I was actually getting a bit nervous before I left for the polling station before 8:00. All I heard up until that point was that Obama had Vermont (3 votes) and one of the networks (CNN or MSNBC - not sure which) was calling Oklahoma, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia for McCain. Then on the way home NPR reported that Obama had pretty much taken all of the Northeast + Maryland and Delaware. By the time I got home I was all smiles. 🙂

RIP Politico.
 
I cant help think of Tim Russert.
I met him after the ia caucus walking in the skywalk.
One of those really great guys. A friend missed.
 
Wow, McCain is get some terrible, unseemly things done to him in PA. Exit polls are not great, we know that from 2004, but still, Obama is WAY ahead there.

I don't see CNN doing their hologram thing again because it sucked so much ass. Whoever decided that it'd be a good idea is probably already packing their desk when upper management saw it in action.
 
I can't wait until Faux News and Drudge get marginalized under a center-left leaning country led by Obama.

The fringe might pay their heating bills, but the rest of the country is ready to flush those turds.

CNN hasn't called it. CHILL OUT dude. PA's data is based on exit polling at 15%. Results aren't really in at CNN either.

He's still Senator Obama until January 20th.

I thought he becomes President-elect Obama. Or is that an unofficial title?

But, you're right in that Bush is still President until the 19th.
