If Missouri ends up going to Obama, that’s 378 on the nose. Probably won’t happen though.

We’ll see where the vote ends up now…

(Might have been earlier – my shock had me stuck watching the TV for a bit there).
I still think 10:15 *Western* is too early for it to honestly called – let alone Eastern.

Specifically, the column on the right is too busy with the state, pictures, names, sometimes percentage numbers, sometimes vote counts, difference, poll closing times with the state names under different state graphics. OMG!

I can’t listen to the commentary. It may be worse than the news crawl.

Honestly, both guys are much better than what we’ve had, so for our international friends, don’t be too alarmed if McCain pulls the upset.

How on earth he is going to satisfy all those hopes remains to be seen. The expectations on him are enormous.

The networks will call it around 10:15pm Eastern, which is when I think the 270 mark will be passed.

I’m sure CNN or other networks will call it way before then, though.

I’d say that’s pretty unlikely they’ll see another newspaper cover like that because Bush is not running for president.
