Ooo, I’m just all dithery! Another cocktail should help what ails me.
Bring it. 25 minutes to OH and NC.
Same on CBS.
I’m listening to WCQS, although I’m sure there are other fine stations.
In respect for my pregnant wife’s condition, I’m not keeping alcohol in the house. It’s killin me.
As a former Vermonter, I’m always amused at how they call VT eight seconds after the polls close.
Just after 7am Wednesday morning here, 7pm EST over there. The first polls are closing, and BBC has announced Indiana has been called for Romney. No surprise there.
It’s been a bit of a sleepless night for me. I’m up earlier than I normally am. Got up once about 5am to check the Beeb even though I knew there’d be nothing to see, and it was the same as when I went to bed last night. They were still rehashing the 2008 election! They have to do something with the airtime I guess.
So looking at this CNN page -
I notice that Nevada (and Nevada alone) has a third option - None. Is this an actual option on Nevada ballots? Has None ever got a significant portion of the Nevada vote? What do they expect to happen in that case?
Yes it’s a real option. But I don’t know if it’s ever come out on top in a federal election.
When do the polls close in Utah? I want to be the first to call it.
Virginia and Florida trending donkey-blue. Not a good sign for Romney because he can’t split swing states. Even if he squeeks by in Vir & Fla, what does that say about Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc?
Huffington has FL leaning red. Where are you seeing blue?
It seems the trends are appearing in CNN, that is nice, but how are they getting that? Polls are supposed to close at 8:00 ET
I take it back. Now they have it Blue. Could be quite a night in FLA.
Of course they also have my own South Carolina leaning blue. And that’s silly.
Bout 5 minutes ago it was 54-45 Obama, now 50-49 Romney.
Virginia getting bluer, almost 59% Obama. Like I said Romney may recover and win like in FLA but there’s no way that’s a good sign that he’ll take all of the swing-states he needs.
CNN has Florida going to Obama, as well as New Hampshire…which, according to my CNN calculator, that means, if it holds, that Obama wins!
That blue/red stuff you’re talking about is votes-counted-so-far I presume. That’s very volatile in swing states until maybe 40-50% counted and even then, unless the spread is like 8-9%, it can easily swing back. Before 50% counted, it’s not indicative of anything.
Really? I see Romney only down by 10K votes and the conservative panhandle polls havn’t even closed yet.
All the polls in the state don’t close at the same time?
It’s on their home page…though it’s shifted some. It WAS like Obama 60% and Romney 40% when I posted that. Now they have it as 50%/49% in favor of Obama.
