The Next President?

[Warbler]

I'm still leaning towards the cautious yet and not reading too much into the apparent reticence

 

[Warbler]

ITV's calling South Carolina for McCain

 

[Euronymous]

This Prof from the Univ of Virginia on the BBC coverage has mentioned that 97% of black Americans will vote for Obama. How many of them vote, 10 Million?

 

[Harbinger]

I'm sticking with CNN. Can't be doing with the British networks all trying to regurgitate what's being said on the US networks instead of just simulcasting them like they used to.

 

[Warbler]

Don't have access to it GF, but ITV's just called Pennsylvania for Obama

 

[Euronymous]

ITV are covering it? Surprised.

 

[Warbler]

All over.

President Obama

Pennsylvania has done for McCain, got the western states to come

 

[Harbinger]

CNN refusing to call Penn on exit polls; waiting for real results.

 

[Guest_]

Flicking between CNN and Fox...good stuff even from Fox.

The CNN break down of Indiana from 2004 to 2008 was fascinating viewing.

 

[Harbinger]

Yep, liking CNN's big touch screen. I know far more about the geography of Indiana than I ever thought I would (Obama winning in Switzerland!).

 

[Warbler]

One feels a sense of history coming on.

 

[Warbler]

ITV are covering it? Surprised.

It's been littered with mistakes, they've just identified Illinois as Pennsylvania for instance, and thats just small fry. Still God bless them

 

[Harbinger]

CNN just called Pennsylvania. New Hampshire as well. Looks like the Kerry states are safe. Amazed they haven't called Texas for McCain straight away.

 

[Warbler]

Having called everything pretty well wrong throughout this campaign, I'm staging a late rally. I think I've got every state right so far.

Georgia just gone Rep

 

[Warbler]

They should be able to call quite a few in the next 15 mins (well I could anyway)

 

[Harbinger]

Obama still hasn't flipped any Bush States just yet...

 

[Warbler]

Ohio - just been called

 

[Harbinger]

Yep, Fox and MSNBC have called it and sounds like CNN are about to.

As I wrote what feels like years ago now: Kerry States + Ohio = win.

 

[Warbler]

Don't rule out FL yet

 

[Harbinger]

CNN confirm Ohio. Short of California breaking off the end of the country, that's the ball game.

 

[Warbler]

I'd say so

It was over when Penn went

 

[Harbinger]

Na. Penn was only a swing state because McCain wanted it to be

 

[Warbler]

California, Washinton and hawaii are gimme's, it's all over

CA is missing my vote of course

 

[Harbinger]

And Oregon. And in all likelihood Iowa. Indiana's a squeaker - 20,000 votes in it (McCain leading) with plenty to come Obama's way from Indianapolis and Gary.
