Third Presidential Results Thread

National Popular Vote (122M votes in): Obama 52%-47% McCain

Electoral College
Obama 364, McCain 162, Too Close to Call 12



Swing State Returns
All times eastern. First poll closing time listed.
State Reporting Obama% McCain% EVs
Missouri 99% 49% 50% 11
NE-02 100% 49% 50% 1

Update 4: McCain narrowly leads in NE-02 with 100% reporting, but it finishes close enough for a recount. Will the Obama campaign seek one? I'll keep in undecided until we hear final word.

Update 3: I'm calling Montana for McCain, based on exit polls showing him ahead and the counties with 0% reporting. This is the final presidential update for the night. Your total: Obama 364, McCain 163, recount 11 (Missouri).

Update 2: Missouri will be listed as too close to call for the rest of the night. We shall see where it is in the morning.

Update: Obama wins Indiana. The source on the projection is me, myself and I. The remaining precincts in Indiana are not enough for McCain to pull it off. This will cost me a Mac Book over at Daily Kos (I was perfect up till now, because last night when I entered I still had NC for Obama), but that's OK. A Mac Book is nothing compared to the work of the Indiana volunteers.

That map is so beautiful (0.00 / 0)
I'm crying again.  

Beautiful but wrong (0.00 / 0)
The local news stations in Atlanta have not called Georgia yet. Early voting in a couple metro Atlanta counties have not been counted yet:

I need MO now for the MacBook (0.00 / 0)
(Along with a host of other crazy predictions which probably won't happen. ;) ).  Looks possible, but tough.

Still climbing the popular vote (0.00 / 0)
As numbers from CA come in, Obama keeps extending his lead in the popular vote. Might be good for another 2% on his margin, depending on which parts are left to report in.

If Obama gets Montana (0.00 / 0)
and McCain gets Indiana, then my prediction will be perfect. But I'm way off in the House, where I picked Dems to get 26%. Senate might come down right if Begich, Merkley and Franken win.

MSNBC agrees (0.00 / 0)
Obama wins IN.  

Love it (0.00 / 0)
Amazing that he flipped Indiana.  

I would call MO, too (0.00 / 0)
The only county outstanding is ~7,000 votes in Jackson, a county Obama is winning 2-1. Obama is down by 1,000 state-wide.

Looks good, barring a meaningless recount.  


364 baby (0.00 / 0)
that's my mac book projection.

I won't complain if we pull off Missouri though.


Hell yeah (0.00 / 0)
we win IN. As an Indiana volunteer, I can't tell you how good that makes me feel.
