Official Election 2008 Thread

Here we go, a big update coming up.

 

MSNBC reporting....

Pennsylvania - Obama the projected winner.
Illinois - Obama the projected winner.
New Jersey - Obama the projected winner.
Massachusetts - Obama the projected winner.
Tennessee - McCain the projected winner.
Maryland - Obama the projected winner.
Oklahoma - McCain the projected winner.
Connecticut - Obama the projected winner.
New Hampshire - Obama the projected winner.
Maine - Obama the projected winner.
Delaware - Obama the projected winner.
District of Columbia - Obama the projected winner.

Obama 103 to McCain 34.

 

Florida - TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Missouri - TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Alabama - TOO EARLY TO CALL (favors McCain)
Mississippi - TOO EARLY TO CALL (favors McCain)

 

Losing Pennsylvania is hugely damaging to McCain. Almost all his paths to victory included Pennsylvania.

If Obama wins Ohio or Florida, game over.

 

All so true, and highlights the subtleties of racism in certain segments of our society, mainly in our media.

 

Exit Polls:

Maine - Obama 60 McCain 38
New Hampshire - Obama 60 McCain 40
Massachusetts - Obama 59 McCain 38
Connecticut - Obama 63 McCain 34
New Jersey - Obama 59 McCain 40
Delaware - Obama 64 McCain 36
Maryland - Obama 67 McCain 31
Washington DC - Obama 92 McCain 7
Pennsylvania - Obama 57 McCain 42
Illinois - Obama 63 McCain 36
Alabama - Obama 42 McCain 57
Mississippi - Obama 49 McCain 50
Tennessee - Obama 42 McCain 55
Oklahoma - Obama 40 McCain 60
Missouri - Obama 53 McCain 46
Florida - Obama 50 McCain 48

 

McCain's only path to victory is holding Obama to the combined Kerry/Gore map at this point.

 

MSNBC reporting:

Arkansas - TOO EARLY TO CALL

 

Virginia is now TOO CLOSE TO CALL.

It doesn't look like a lock for Obama by any stretch. North Carolina looks a lot better for Obama at this point.

 

MSNBC just called Kay Hagan in North Carolina.

 

Exit Poll:

Arkansas - Obama 44 McCain 53

 

John McCain is the projected winner of Alabama.

Obama 103 to McCain 43

 

John McCain is the projected winner of Georgia.

Obama 103 to McCain 58

 

John McCain 51 Barack Obama 49 in Texas with about 3 million votes in.

 

Indiana is going to go down to the wire. This might be one you wanna mark up as a recount state, it's gonna be that close it looks like.

 

Chuck Todd says Indiana and Florida look good for Obama.

 

Yes. It's over. (Unless something is very screwy with the exit polling).

On my electoral map I have Obama with 256 electoral in the bag as I have CA, OR, WA, MN, WI, MI, IA & NY on top of what has been called.

He only needs 14 electoral from any of: FL, NC, VA, WV, OH, IN, LA, MO, MT, ND, SD, CO, NM, AZ or NV.

Obama was polling pretty well in CO & NM which together have 14 electoral. Ballgame. Don't even need any other tossup states now that he got Penn.

 

Colorado, New Mexico, and Iowa close in 4 minutes. This could be the election right here.

 

MSNBC reporting....

Kansas - John McCain projected winner.
New York - Barack Obama projected winner.
Michigan - Barack Obama projected winner.
Minnesota - Barack Obama projected winner.
Wisconsin - Barack Obama projected winner.
Rhode Island- Barack Obama projected winner.
North Dakota - John McCain projected winner.
Wyoming - John McCain projected winner.

Barack Obama 175 to McCain 70
