The networks have refused to call this out of fear of losing advertising dollars. It’s over. By a wide margin.




  1. Matt says:

    Way to jump the gun here John. National votes are only around 30% in.

  2. green says:

    Things are already soooooo different. :/

  3. Jay says:

    John should change this to “The Democrats win!” it looks like they will own DC for a while. My home state went blue by a decent margin.

  4. ijsbrand says:

    How many bets did you lose with this result, John?

  5. Mister Mustard says:

    Yep. Change. ¡Si, se puede!

  6. Iditarod Dog says:

    YESSSSSS! The end of an Error. I’m thrilled that the country actually went with the intelligent, rather than those that appeal to the basal functions of the brain…

  7. Montanaguy says:

    Can I drive to Washington and get a piece of my tax cut before Obama ‘realizes’ that he was telling a whopper?

  8. Mac Guy says:

    Nah, John just wants to be “the first” to report it.

  9. comhcinc says:

    so John, how much did you lose?

  10. Richard says:

    It’s amazing to see CNN make prediction for states only based on exit polls but when they just don’t want to official predict that Obama will win even when they couldn’t come up with a reliable scenario in which McCain would win. I guess it is all about the advertising money…

  11. madtruckman says:

    im a mccain backer, and it is over. give california, oregon, washington to obama, and you get pretty close to 270, so add in one of the close states not yet called, and its all over. damnit!!!

  12. Gary, the dangerous infidel says:

    It’s just a shame that President Bush didn’t publicly campaign on behalf of his fellow Republicans. It would have given Americans the opportunity to come out and say “Fuck you!” in person, rather than simply voting the President’s party into a more marginal status.

    Delivering that personal message would have been cathartic and given us more closure.

  13. Joey says:

    My homestate of NC is curently 50/50 right now. About 4k votes apart. HOpefully we can tip to McCain.

  14. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz says:

    I want to see live of what going on behind the scene of candidates as polls rolls in.

  15. Special Ed says:

  16. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz says:

    John’s prediction is right again!

  17. ECA says:

    nothing can be guessed until about 10pm PST..
    ALOT of close races.. ALOT by Major margins..

  18. chuck says:

    Place your bets:

    How many people think we will still have troops in Iraq in 2012?

    Who thinks we will have troops in Iran in 2012?

  19. Hyph3n says:

    #19 Troop? Yes. But make no mistake there will be a big draw down of the military in Iraq and they will start paying for their own reconstruction.

    Obama and his team are smart enough to know that if there is anything close to this level of troops in Iraq come 2008, he will be out. Conversely, he gets us largely out of Iraq, it won’t matter what else he does… the country will love him.

  20. nonStatist says:

    Not that it matters.

  21. Hyph3n says:

  22. comhcinc says:

    anyone else notice everyone is avoiding calling florida? it like everyone is afraid of the penis state or something.

  23. RSweeney says:

    Let us hope that Obama is not as bad as feared and not so god-like as portrayed.

  24. Thomas says:

    #21
    Not necessarily. It depends on what happens after we pull out. If Iraq collapses and Iran takes over, pulling out will be seen, rightly so, as a mistake.

  25. Thomas says:

    This was over an hour and 1/2 ago. If Obama takes OR, WA, CA and HI with what he has, he cannot lose. I guess the media is still gun shy after 2000.

  26. Brin says:

    We survived Clinton, we will survive this as well but with a lighter wallet.

  27. mriegger says:

    Mid-week No Agenda please!

  28. bill says:

    WOW!!!!! This is going to be something!!!!
    You know, America won big tonight.

    I wonder what other countries are thinking right now?

    In the end, we are all Americans in the USA.

    From a lifelong Repuke.

  29. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz says:

    Heh, FoxNews.com stopped counting or their computers just blew up?

  30. Chris Mac says:

    I wonder if they did that much work on Obama’s concession speech…
