I've got tabs on CNN, BBC, Fox News and The Daily Beast. Coverage on the latter is highly entertaining.
Just BBC for me. Might tune into some Fox if it looks like Romney's going to lose.
158 - 153
And the president jumps ahead in electoral votes!
Got to reach 270.
A way to go still ....
Both Romney & Ryan lose on their home states.
FOX still has them tied at 153
easy does RA we'll be ok Florida is absurdly close
Demographics.
Us Latinos are going to be the difference once it's said and done.
Oh, and add to that women and African Americans.
Now it's 162-153 for Obama
FOX. Still stuck on 153-153.
Those faces on FOX are looking droopy.
Now Faux news is saying Romney leads while others report tie.
MSNBC is all chirpy and all smiles and FOX is gloomy and gloomier as time ticks by.
244 out of the 270 needed for Obama now. Looks like a formality.
11pm NYC time.
243-188 according to NBC
244-193 according to FOX
270 is the magic number.
Boy, those republican excuses are starting to spew out. And it's just the beginning of this drama scenario.
Yes!!!!!
A done deal!!!!!!!
274-203
Just past 11 am and Florida hadn't even been called.
I am not shy to say that I am SO happy with this news.
My respects to my republican fellow forum members.
Don't get too far ahead of yourself, in terms of officially called results its still 251-203.
Tell that to FOX news.
Even they just called it.
:)
That's it the sitting President of the United States of America has been projected the winner :up:

Victor --
I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
There's a lot more work to do.
But for right now: Thank you.
Barack

It's tough to lose - its tough to let go.
Can't blame them but they will eventually concede.
He's just waiting for someone to make the internet equivalent of an anti-Obama bumper sticker about the election result, so he can then copy and paste it in this thread.Quote:

Great speech by the president and a gracious concession speech by governor Romney.
Life goes on and Barcelona plays tomorrow.
I feel good.

Agreed Dave. But I never thought it was in any doubt. As much as the polls saying it was close I never thought Romney was at all likely to win.
I watched about 5 minutes of Fox News this morning and it was hilarious - but at the same time downright scary - to hear the excuses they were coming out with. Oh, and I learned that access to college isn't a "social issue". That's nice.
I thought the fact that they got bitch-whipped by Karl Rove to find any reason not to call Ohio for Obama was both pathetic and cringe-inducingly awkward.Quote:

I think this is good for America and good for the world.
Romney would have just been a protest vote against global economic conditions but Obama seems to be getting things resolved slowly, but steadily.
Of course, the Republicans could be correct and the world will come crashing around our earoles ;)
Here is a listing from Politico of several predictions for the election that were wrong:
Quote:
Newt Gingrich: “I believe the minimum result will be 53-47 Romney, over 300 electoral votes.” – Oct. 25, on Fox News.
Karl Rove: Romney 285, Obama 253. “If crowds at his recent stops in these states [NV, WI and PA] are any indication of his supporters’ enthusiasm, Mr. Romney will likely be able to claim victory in these states as well.” — Nov. 5, on his website.
Fox News contributor Dick Morris: Romney 325, Obama 213. “It will be the biggest surprise in recent American political history. It will rekindle the whole question as to why the media played this race as a nailbiter where in fact I think Romney’s going to win by quite a bit.” — Nov. 4, on Fox News.
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham: “I think he’s going to win New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and a few other surprises. I think this thing is going to be close.” — Oct. 31, on the Laura Ingraham Show.
The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol: “I’m cautiously optimistic that Romney’s going to win.” — Oct. 31, on the Laura Ingraham Show.
Conservative columnist George Will: Romney 321, Obama 217. “The wild card in what I’ve projected is I’m projecting Minnesota to go for Romney.” — Nov. 4, on ABC’s “This Week.”
UnskewedPolls’ Dean Chambers: Romney 311, Obama 227. “Despite the pattern of skewed polls, most of them commissioned by the mainstream media, the overall electoral landscape is looking more and more favorable for Romney.” — Nov. 1, on examiner.com.
The Washington Examiner’s Michael Barone: “Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223. That sounds high for Romney. But he could drop Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still win the election. Fundamentals.” — Nov. 2, writing in The Washington Examiner.
House Speaker John Boehner: “I think Ohioans vote with their wallets. That’s why I think Romney’s going to win on Tuesday.” — Nov. 4, on CNN.
Sarah Palin: “I do believe that enough Americans have awakened and understand it’s time for a shift.” — Nov. 2, on Fox News.
Fox News’s Sean Hannity: “I got this, Romney three points.” — Nov. 2, on Fox News.
CNBC’s Larry Kudlow: ”I am now predicting a 330 vote electoral vote landslide. Yes, that’s right — 330 electoral votes.” — Oct. 25, on CNBC.
Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer: “Romney, very close. But he’ll win the popular by I think about half a point, electoral college probably a very narrow margin.” — Nov. 2, on Fox News.
Rush Limbaugh: “All of my thinking says Romney big. All of my feeling is where my concern is. But my thoughts, my intellectual analysis of this — factoring everything I see plus the polling data — it’s not even close. Three hundred-plus electoral votes for Romney.” — Nov. 5, on his radio show.
The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan: “I think it’s Romney. … While everyone is looking at the polls and the storm, Romney’s slipping into the presidency. ”— Nov. 5, on her Wall Street Journal blog.
Former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer: “My prediction: Romn 50.1%-49.5%. Romn w minimum 271 EVs (FL, VA, CO, WI, NH). 309 EVs if he takes OH&PA. Pres-elect Romney.” — Nov. 4, via Twitter.
Did they? Up to about 3-4 days before the polls were saying it's too close, as the final days approached the polls took a definite swing to Obama.Quote:
