The fat lady has sung. K. Rove predicts an electoral-college landslide for B. Obama: 338:200.

| Karl Rove, the man widely credited with engineering President [W.] Bush's two successful White House bids, is predicting the Illinois senator will take the White House in an Electoral College landslide, winning 338 votes to John McCain's 200. That would be the largest Electoral College victory since 1996, when Bill Clinton defeated Bob Dole in a 379-159 rout. |
CNN Reports
No results appearing yet. But this thread is to track the Obama campaign's victory and the McCain campaign's conceding that victory later today...

| 338-200 is a landslide? I'd call it decisive, but not a landslide. I think you need up around 400 to call a margin of victory a landslide. |

66.7% is a landslide. 359-179. IMO. |

I should never do math in my head, especially so early in the morning. I agree with 2/3's.  |

If Obama is a moderate than he will be reelected in 2012.
If he turns out to be liberal then that Republicans will find that all of a sudden they have made a recovery. |

Yes, yes...we've seen that about Pennsylvania. Not good for McCain.
Joo is right - look for Obama to be a one-term germ (unless McCain pulls it out). |

MSNBC is giving the district of washington to Obama 92% to 8% McCain. That is unbelievable isn't it? Awesome showing in DC.
edit. Sorry just noticed that was with only 14% of precints reporting. |
