I know I'm late but I had to escape to another continent (JFK's internet was down and couldn't log on). I'm scared of what the FOX/MSNBC folks may do so I fled.
I think what may be very interesting is how PA polls go. The power outages/polling delays around democratic leaning areas could be interesting to follow in how those electoral votes go.
With that said, here you go:
WHO WINS THE PRESIDENCY?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS OHIO'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS FLORIDA'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Romney (R) - barely
WHO WINS VIRGINIA'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS NEVADA'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS COLORADO'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS IOWA'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS WISCONSIN'S ELECTORAL VOTES?
Obama (D)
WHO WINS THE POPULAR VOTE?
Obama (D)
WHAT IS THE WINNING TOTAL IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?
303
WHAT IS THE FIRST NETWORK TO CALL THE ELECTION?
CNN
DO EITHER CHRIS MATTHEWS OR SEAN HANNITY CRY ON TV ON ELECTION NIGHT?
Both. One out of joy/relief, the other out of faux fear/disappointment.

I'd complain about the late entries, but they're clearly wrong, so it won't matter ;D

We should've added a question about when we'll know who the next President will be?
There are a few early closing states that I think could let everyone go to bed early (e.g. - Obama gets FLA or VA; Romney actually manages to grab PA) if they are decisive.
But I highly doubt we'll be that lucky.

Boz, what's the over/under date-wise you think?

Boz, what's the over/under date-wise you think? God only knows. So hard to predict. People on both sides are predicting big wins. Which I find more than a little disingenuous. If it's really close, I don't know...a month? |

Well, let's be honest, I don't think anyone takes Jim Cramer's 440 EV for Obama as realistic. And since George Will's prediction almost exactly matches Dick Morris' prediction, I think we can write him off as disingenuous as well. |

Will kind of surprised me.
We all know who and what Dick Morris is, but Will is usually a much more honest broker.
Then again, on both sides of the aisle, I am reminded of the famous words of George Costanza:
"Just remember: it's not a lie...if you believe it."
Upon further reflection, maybe I'm not being entirely fair. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that this election will be ridiculously close, but still fairly one-sided in the EC count...one way or the other.
Not that I really care about being fair to political pundits.

Not looking great for those that picked Romney in the pool.

Unrelatedly, I've been switching to multiple channels since 9 and Al Sharpton looks downright scary. Still sounds like a jackass.

12 minutes past 11, NBC calls it for Obama. First network to call.

FOX definitely the most entertaining network to watch, with an internecine Karl Rove / decision desk feud.

Turnout was D+6 or so. State polls were right about that (or more right, I guess) and the electorate looked more like 2008 than 2010 or 2004. Ball game. Thanks a lot to Gallup and Rasmussen for getting my hopes up.

Congrats to hoyainspirit, who just filled out an all D ballot and was even too lazy to come up with an electoral total, but still won.
hoyainspirit (missed absolutely nothing)
AustinHoya03 (missed Florida, 303)
Problem of Dog (missed Florida, 281)
ScreamingHoya* (missed Florida, 303)
HoyaNyr320 (missed Virginia, NBC, 319)
Buckets (missed Florida, NBC, 303)
TC (missed Florida, NBC, 293)
nodak89 (missed Florida, Virginia, 295)
derhoya* (missed Florida, NBC, 303)
Gigafan99 (missed Florida, New Hampshire, Colorado, Virginia, NBC, 277)
TBird41 (missed Obama, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado, popular vote, NBC)
EasyEd (missed Florida, Virginia, popular vote, 291)
Boz (missed Obama, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, popular vote)
unskewedpolls.com (missed Iowa, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Florida, Virginia, Nevada, Ohio, should receive the Billy Madison speech)
I ended up ignoring the last question, but if anyone had put down Karl Rove super-freakout they probably would have been just declared the winner right there.
