If he takes either Ohio or Florida, and the rest of the states stay the same, Obama wins. Both Florida and Ohio look good. There are a few other states that could do this.

Much better
Obama 103
McCain 27
Feeling better, guys?
Nothing from the Northwest in Virginia - unless my geography is really off I'm pretty sure that's all DC suburbs isn't it? That might beef Obama's numbers up a bit.
btw, one other interesting thing to watch is just how close Texas is.
Obama has no chance of winning the state but if he could get within 5% it would be remarkable.
1. He'll do better than Kerry, who got smashed last time around. (as did Gore)
2. No former Texan Governor to compete with this time around.
3. Large African American population.
His loss will probably fall within the 6-10% range.
Even so, a fair effort.

Much better was contemplating the concept of McCain as president
Won't relax though until it's definate.
OBAMA'S DOMINATING ALABAMA!

I presume that they're counted whenever those from their county are tallied.
Is this right?

It seems to me that Obama has won most of those counties in Florida that Clinton won in 1996, the last time the Democrats carried Florida. I'd say that McCain will struggle to win Florida unless his numbers turn around big time.
I seriously think that Indiana can just about be called right now. I doubt anyone will do so for an hour or so, but Lake county will be a deadset LANDSLIDE for Obama. The biggest city is 85% black and has been flooded with Obama volunteers.

There's still a plausible path to victory for McCain here.
Every state called for Obama so far was also won by John Kerry four years ago.
But McCain has to win virtually everything in play at the moment. Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana. The lot.

Margin in Flordia has come down from 54 - 46 to 53 - 47

I retract my earlier statement concerning Florida. It's still too close to call.

But if you're a McCain supporter, you really want the networks to hurry up and call Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and West Virginia.
What's going in the south?
Update: Arkansas closes on the half hour. Will we get a call there?
