Well, this appears to be working out (pretty much) as I expected ... Obama is going to win but it also appears that it was far closer than the pollsters were predicting.

Looking at the results I would say that it was a pretty big mistake of McCain to focus Pennsylvania and he should have focused on Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado.

Close? Are we looking at the same election?

 

What are you doing up so late? Do you have any idea what time it is? Crazy Dutchman! (lol)

It's not close at all, it's going to be a landslide.

 

In electoral vote Obama is going to clean up ...

In popular vote pollsters were (on average) estimating a 7% or higher advantage for Obama with some as high as 10% (or more) ... Its likely going to be a 3% to 5% advantage for Obama. On top of this, when all is said and done, McCain could probably have won the election if he won the states that he will lose by 2% or less.
