The popular vote is still pretty close, but the electoral votes are a runaway.

I just don't get how they can call OHIO when only 13% of the precincts have reported in????

Maybe the "exit poll" will shed some light on that total

I've a suggestion... maybe one of the moderators could move this thread to the "setlist" forum

If that's the case this show is over.

The folks at Team Sarah have their panties in a bunch about Fox calling so many states for Obama so early.

Alaska's bright star guv can't handle anyone else getting all mavericky

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't get the whole calling states so early thing.

I does kinda feel that way. Instead of songs, we have states.

The Mitten just went blue...

Are the proposals the encores???

On both this thread AND MSN.com

I sure wish I could trade places with Captain Tony right now.

It's because of which precincts/counties have reported (i.e., major cities)

See cool AP Map continuously updated. Click on each state to see county breakdowns...

I think (in MI) #1 will pass, #2 will not. But I really haven't seen any predictions or even polling on those before.

Our only local was a library millage, which I hope passes.

Registration info and prior voting trend records
give the vote trackers a pretty good model of how each county is going to total out.
As they count the votes, and the trends hold, then you see the ability to forecast the outcome so seemingly early.
It's truly a science, now.

No you don't.

Carl Levin (the one I call "Mr. Whipple"-the Charmin guy) has been re-elected.

Maybe tomorrow morning I won't, but right now I do.

He's rather well liked here in the state

I can't imagine what it would take to beat him. In his defense, that "rolled-up shirt sleeves, glasses hanging off the nose" look is who he is. Always looks like he just rolled out of bed after sleeping in his clothes.

Which I personally find annoying and a detriment to our voting process.

We had local Dail a Ride and road millage. Both of which I hope pass. My neice doesn't drive and uses Dial a Ride extensively.

I thought both proposals 1 & 2 were expected to pass.
