TIME Magazine’s Mark Halperin calls it. Nate Silver calls it. We’re calling it, too, for what that’s worth. The networks and the cable channels are going to have to call this as soon as Colorado and Nevada results come in. But it’s already over. The math doesn’t work anymore for McCain.
NPR just called Iowa for Obama and basically called the race...noting that makes 3 pick-ups for Obama from 2004 and no losses and said he is on his way to a "convincing electoral college victory"
Broke open the bubbly and ENJOYING it... I will head outside and bang pots and pans when the networks call 270. My husband will play Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up". I look at my son and think of the kids and their future... for once in a long, long, time, I now have HOPE. OK, I'm gonna cry...

So what is up with the 60 senate seats for a filibuster proof Democratic majority? Eli?
Dewey defeats Truman? (God, I hope not. Win, Obama, win!)
538 has been perfect so far, and i can't thank mr silver enough for saving my fucking mind for the last two months.
i am so close to tears.
Chris Shays in CT just lost...and the rethugs lose their last House seat in New England.
Yep, our guy has coattails too.
the anti-abortion law in SD failed as did the "life begins at fertilization" prop. in Colorado!
and so did the CONCON in CT. So there will still be Equal Marriage for 20 years somewhere in the US.
My Grandma just called me, crying, and said that this is the most exciting election of her entire life. She's 90.
