US Presidential Election

All over. With Barack Obama taking Ohio it's safe to say he has won. Possible landslide depending on how many republican states he can rob.

...and not a moment too soon!

BBC is calling states really early, cnn is way slower (so are dutch broadcasters). Anyway I'm happy obama won :)

Most networks have called Ohio for Obama now so it's most certainly over.

US politics are like a circus-act anyway, it's amazing how they even publish results when polls aren't even closed in some states - it can significantly influence people's vote. That would also explain the difference in speed between network's calling states, they all have political agendas whereas the BBC is reputedly more impartial.

Yeah, California is a definite blue state tonight. That plus Seattle and Oregon will take them well over 270. I expect he'll take a couple of traditional red states too.
