Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 0)

We could still come up with 378 EVs, actually. Looks like we may just pull it out in NC and IN. No idea on MO, but it's close. O will win Nevada, I suspect. Then Montana.

Re: US Election Open Thread (none / 0)

We really need to crush these buggers.

There are 40 EV's out there: Indiana, North Carolina, Missouri, and Montana.

We should get NC and Missouri which is 26 making 364.

Montana would raise it to 367 -- which looks like the max possible total.

Oh well. I'll take 338 and hope for the best.

His lead in the popular vote is growing at a pretty brisk pace. As Cal has started rolling in, it's up almost half a million already.

Virginia actually wound up not being that close. Obama's going to win it by over 100,000 votes. 52/47 or 51/48. Roughly as the exits predicted.

Indiana is O....no change..
NC. it is 100% franklin county plus half Craven county against 85% of Washington county....

It is the mother of all toss-ups... iowa 2004 style at the end? or will frnalinc ounty just give an O surprise?

Montana projections seem to indicate it goes McCain...but nothing for sure yet.

And O speaks...

We're huddled around radios in the hidden corners of the world, kcurie.
