They haven't even started counting Cali yet, but I'm guessing when they do, it's gonna rapidly eat into Willard's popular vote lead.

And New York has only counted about 2 million votes so far.

Dick Morris strangely silent on twitter since that last "Don't give up" post, should we send someone over to check on him in case he didn't follow his own advice?

Iowa called for Obama. The Denver Post calls Colorado for Obama. If true, then this is game, set and match.

I think the fat lady is now looking at O 326 - R 212 since WI went to Obama and VA is close to flipping.

If Ohio is called, then Mittens better hurry up on that concession speech he didn't write.
