Really interested to see which polls are right and which are wrong. They're all over the map (particularly in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan).
I'm going to go with Romney 295 Obama 243. That has Romney winning Ohio and Wisconsin.
Bonus prediction: Senate makeup is going to be 50-50. I think the Republicans are going to swing 1/3 in Ohio, Wisconsin or Massachusetts.

Actually, going to back it down to 289-249 Romney. Nevada looks pretty left-leaning.

I've predicted a Romney win for months now, and I'm not stopping now: I'm pretty sure you're picking Romney because you're a Cleveland sports fan. |

This election reminds me of the Steelers-Browns playoff game in 2002 (?). The Browns were up 14 in the 4th quarter but just couldn't get that one final stop. |

About 2 more hours of garbage time (exit polls can be wildly inaccurate) then we get some real results!

Wow. Not looking great for Romney. I think he'll pull out Florida, but Cleveland is going to be really heavy for Obama and that should cost Romney the election.

Well, looks like I know nothing about what the voters thought was important in this election. I'd leave a bitter remark, but I'm too disappointed right now to think of it.

Can I chime in with I tend to always be disappointed in the voters when they vote in ways that don't make any sense. Truly the dumber down of America.

No, I've thought about it and it makes sense. I think in both Florida and Ohio Obama mobilized his base in the cities better than the Republicans did, and the Ohio folks liked the auto bailouts he provided as it preserved jobs in their part of the country. I think Obama did a great disinformation campaign on Florida acting as if he was ceding it, so Romney/Ryan didn't campaign there as much as they should have in the past week and the ground effort did them in.
That's the election right there.

And as a side note, Colorado has legalized marijuana. Can't say that one shocks me.
