    Hurrah and goodnight. I'd love to hold on for the Colorado result but by eyes betray me.

    Thanks for all the great updates.

    Look at that crowd at Obama HQ :D

    I never know whether to be impressed or slightly worried by the sight of such gatherings. Bit too "sheepie" for my taste.
    If that was an Iranian crowd they'd be labelled fanatical.

    Well that was quicker than expected.

    I thought the polls were neck and neck :rolleyes:

    Never believe in polls peeps. :)

    Well, these are just the states which have been announced. At the moment, it looks like a landslide Obama win, but there are still several states yet to announce - so it may still be closer than it seems.

    Good news for the rest of the world too. Romney would have been a nightmare.

    Fox are saying Obama won due to negative campaigning and all the money they spent on attacking Romney.
