>>Those times sounded awfully early to me. Still not too late even in Central time, though. That's assuming all states can be called soon after the polls close, which I don't think is a safe assumption at all. I just hope it is all decided by tomorrow, not days or weeks from now like in 2000. Legal teams on both sides are already ramping up.

Maybe in Florida, where a recount is mandated it the outcome is within half a percent. It doesn't matter. The electoral college is locked up regardless of Florida. Obama came close to sweeping the swing states and exceeded all expectations from just a few days ago.

Now that it's over I can admit I was genuinely concerned. I never lost hope but the thought of a Romney victory was not far-fetched at all.
