    Oregon 7 , Nevada 6, Iowa 6 and Colorado 9, are enough for 270 aren't they provided they don't switch from the last election?

    Not a hope in hell.

    Indeed, LostFool. Romney would have to win Ohio 18 + Virginia 13 + Florida 29 to even stand a chance and it's looking very uphill now.

    I'm not sure of the etiquette in here, if I say owt out of line please just tell me, I won't be offended or take the slightest umbrage if I become too chatty or off topic.

    It's 4 in the morning, I think etiquette went out of the window at 2 ;)

    And he wins New Mexico. :D

    This is more of a walkover than I was expecting. I thought it would be much closer.

    California always goes Democratic.

    In 1994, Republicans demonized illegal immigrant Latinos with a ballot initiative.

    Now Latinos are extremely powerful, especailly in California.

    So all is lost for Republicans.

    Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein ran for reelection without running a single ad, without campaigning at all. And she's going to win.

    Looks like Obama is close to being projected the winner of the election.

    I'll be glad in a few days when I won't have to hear so much about the election anymore.
