i'm really confused by what i'm watching on tv. it'll call a state for someone but then say they only have like 3% of the votes in or something. i don't get how they call that.

It would be so funny if McCain won the popular vote, but Obama won more electoral votes.

And my mother just said she doesn't want Obama to win because she doesn't want to look at him for the next four years because he doesn't look like a president?!?!?!?!

Ohio projected for Obama! He's up to 195 (projected) versus 75 for McCain!
(i'm watching the news channels because i'm impatient for projections, haha.) |

You'd think they'd have learned to stop calling by the exit polls in the 40s after the Truman/Dewey mistake.
