Final Tally<\/h3>\n

Barack Obama: 378
\nJohn McCain: 160<\/p>\n

I also think the race will be officially called by the networks within ten minutes of 10:15pm Eastern. This is just my opinion as an observer, of course. Best of luck to both candidates.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Ok, it looks like they just called North Carolina for Barry O., so the final tally is 364-173. Looks like I only got Missouri and North Dakota wrong. And honestly, the only reason I picked Missouri for Obama was that I bought into the hype about how Missouri has picked every single election except for one. Make that two now! :)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
