For Romney to win he must take NC, VA, OH (waiting on Northern Canadiens to come in), NV and Florida. looks like he will lose Florida….only waiting on Miami which will be Obama all the way. I’m not very hopeful.
There is no real way for Romney to win this thing.
McCaskill race is now over. She is going back to #DC. She won Platte County, MO 52 % to 40 %. Repub suburb of #KC. #MoSen #Election2012
Claire wins Platte County by 6 percent. Race over.
Romney is on life support right now…
Jason Kander Democrat 160,635 46.1%
Shane Schoeller Republican 174,659 50.2%
With Penn & Wis going Obama, all he needs now is Ohio and Nevada or Iowa. Still has shot in Fl, Nc, Co, Vir. Game almost over. #Election2012
Tobacco tax is losing. Are you surprised?
Obama now won all of Romney’s home states, MA, CA, MI, and NH.
Paul Ryan did nothing for this ticket.
we need a big turnout in OHIO in the suburbs….
OBama up 8 in Colorado.
VA: Good news for Mitt in Chesapeake, military-heavy tidewater city: 55-43 Mitt. Was Obama +2 in ’08.
14 more states close at 9 pm
Fox News just called Penn for Obama.
If provisional ballots needed to determine outcome in Ohio…they don’t count them for another 10 days!!
No Republican has ever been elected President without winning Ohio….Krauthammer says Romney can win without Ohio, but must win EVERY OTHER battleground state.
Obama is going to win Ohio.
Rove’s 3-2-1 plan is working…need VA and OH to get this done.
50 to 50 Romney/Obama in Florida
Also Koster…Decent numbers for Kander so far.
Nixon, McCaskill winning in Platte County
Republicans keep the House. Senate will stay Dem….
McCaskill – Clay County: up 55-43 percent over Akin
Obama is Annie.
not loving exit polls…
Exit polls show 48 to 48 in Colorado.
Kansas to Romney…What took so long?
still so slow with the MO numbers. holy cow….
What happened to Paul Ryan?
Montee and Kander and Zweifel races neck and neck
We pretty much now that Nixon and Koster will be back in Jeff City. Big Leads.
the suspense is killing me! it’s agony!
Koster…former Republican…doing well in Republican counties.
not so fast Jason, if R loses Florida he has to run the table in all other battleground states….can still win, but a lot harder.
If Obama wins Florida…Game. Set. Match.
62 percent in for Florida…Obama up 50 – 49

Romney has to win Florida Annie.
Fl dead heat….all bodes well for Romney.
1.8 million people early voters in Ohio.
Things looking good early for Obama in Ohio.
If Obama wins Virginia…think this thing is for all purposes over early.
Two races to watch in Missouri are SOS and Lt. Gov. These should be somewhat close.
The President is going to win tonight Annie.
Be careful with these Exit Poll folks….very tricky!
Good to see you Annie. Excited to break down these results.
