Was North Carolina expected to be so close? 51/49 with 50% reporting or so

[Nadaka]

Im not really sure how close florida is really, several of the big southern tip counties have low % counted that could swing it towards big O.

Notable: The Senate has gained another "Independent" member, in the form of Angus King, replacing moderate Republican Olympia Snowe.  He clings pretty strongly to his Independent title, although on margin he hews closer to Democrat on most issues, including abortion.  Interesting that the one instance of a theoretically more-liberal change in the Senate was for arguably the least conservative Republican.

A lot of maps showed us (NC) as red, we apparently don't count as a battleground state, but I'm holding out hope!

If Romney loses the electoral college but wins the popular vote, I'd go to sleep with smile on faces

Remember, same thing happened with Bush's second term.

And that's why it would be so hilarious.  Also terrible and have terrible consequences.

This is meaningless unless you say which precincts have reported.  If it's tied with Romney friendly in first then Obama wins, if it's tied with Obama friendly in first, Romney wins.

NBC just called Wisconsin for obama

Is anyone here actually hoping on Romney winning this?

[Cthulhu]

Florida's swinging ObadO.  Exciting stuff.

[Leafsnail]

With that bad a loss in WI Romney's chances are looking bad.  Florida is absolute must win for him and that's really close.

A lot of the liberal, Western States aren't in, yet. Don't get your hopes up/be disappointed quite yet.

A lot of the conservative, Western States aren't in yet either. Really, either this is obviously over in half an hour (Obama wins Florida), or this goes on until we know how Iowa went.

But all those add up to less than just California. Obama's already picked up a couple of battleground states, I see.

I really wish I knew my US geography right now, it would make finding all these places easier.
Do you guys really need all those states? We get by with only 5, and a bit...

There are a couple, but their answers as to why are usually pretty flimsy or contradictory.

The only thing you need to know is that I live in the place that looks like a mitten, and is close to Canada. If anyone says Wisconsin, I will maul them.

actually NBC is saying the president just needs ohio at this point and hes a lock

[mainiac]

If Obama wins Florida as I have already said, it doesn't even matter if he wins Ohio: http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=byxU

I have hears that there has been a much larger push this election in NC to get college students to vote, so that is probably effecting it some. (I am a college student in NC, but I have not seen the previous elections for comparison.)
