Live election coverage

Too early to make any conclusions, but I figured I would post a link for all of you who are still out on calls or not near a PC and would like to be kept updated. So far Romney is looking good but we have a LONG way to go still.

Looks like the Northeast and Illinois just kicked in, giving Obama a big boost (no surprise really)

[AStudent]

Obama won Mass. What does that say about Romney?

[chaard]

CNN had Romney with 244k Obama with 234k. 10 min later Romney has 230k to Obama's 254k. How do you lose 34k votes?

[chaard]

Obama won Mass. What does that say about Romney?
not a lot considering it has always been a left leaning state.

True, but one would think that if he made a good impression more people would vote for him.

[chaard]

CNN has Romney 82EV Obama 64EV

Fox Romney 88EV Obama 78EV

[k-fridge]

Obama won Mass. What does that say about Romney?
In a state where a Kennedy never lost?

It says nothing. It's a liberal stronghold.

[chaard]

CNN Romney 152 ev Obama 123ev.

[chaard]

I don't like that Fox news doesn't give % or # of votes in.

A great night for America. Glad the people rejected the tea party nonsense and the anti-American obstructionist tactics of the Republican-led house during the past 2 years.

[Phrancis]

CNN has Romney 82EV Obama 64EV

Fox Romney 88EV Obama 78EV

My question is; shouldn't the numbers be the same on both sources? At least one of them is wrong, likely both. Politico results show (R) 153 EV (D) 123 EV. Perhaps the MSM is jumping the gun? Who would have thought.

[Rob_in_WV]

NBC says Obama is leading 158 to 153.

[tostaos]

it'a over, Florida is going to Obama. The votes not counted are from democratic counties

[chaard]

Romney closing in on Ohio. Obama was up 100k votes. Now 65k.

[Phrancis]

Gonna be a long night

[AStudent]

I just hope the race isn't so close that we have to wait until the 17th when the provisional votes are counted.

[Phrancis]

Romney got NC giving him a significant lead... for now...

[chaard]

I'm not watching. I'm hoping it will be like the Cardinals down by 3, bottom of the ninth, 3-2 count bases loaded and Puhols hits a walk off grand slam. Of course I miss it cause they're losing. so I miss a great ending. So that's what I'm doing know. Hoping I'm missing a great upset. But probably not.

[Phrancis]

Not looking good for Romney anymore...

[Rob_in_WV]

CNN just announced Obama has won. Heaven help the USA. We're gonna need it.

And looks like (D) retain control of Senate. 4 more years of Harry Reid too, looks like.
