And the Korean verdict?

I'm currently sat down at my desk watching the results unfold on the BBC. My handler/CT is obviously doing likewise. Couple of minutes ago on the BBC I noticed that Obama had passed the 270 votes needed to claim victory. As I'm watching this, my CT, sat at his desk, says "Oh-bum-ha. Oh-boom-ah. Oh-bam-ah. The first black American president". After pausing for a second, he then adding "I don't understand Americans".

Oh, hell Colorado and Florida. I'm losing count.

Still Indiana, North Carolina and Nevada

Senate is a 55 Dems right now with more seats up for grabs.

Obama has more than a mandate.

I want to see results in 100 days.

Assuming NC, Nevada and Indiana go for Obama and Arizona, Alaska, Montana and Missouri go for McCain it would be 364/174.

ABC news is now classifying it as a "landslide". Would this be considered a landslide in a historical context or just in comparison to the past few elections?

Nevada seems to have overwhelmingly went for Obama. Kinda interesting as it was a red state previous to this election.

The other battlegrounds states didn't seem to overwhelmingly go for Obama quite like Nevada did.

Obama has been heavily focusing on Nevada, so I don't think so. Plus the demographics seems to have changed significantly.

With the housing crisis, MANY Californians have been leaving California, and Nevada is a VERY convenient state and much more affordable one to move to.

They've been projecting Nevada to support Obama the last few weeks already, so not a real strong surprise.
