EDIT: mccain got bumped up to 138. (wow 3 points...)

Yeah some news sites are hesitating on declaring Texas for McCain even though it's almost certain he'll get it now.

We'll know for sure in just over 10 minutes.

Obamas 63 off winning for sure and the BBC said McCain will concede when Obama gets cali.

Edit:

Obama wins California and Washington, 273 electoral votes. Hello Mr President Elect. Losers, McCain and Palin, go home.

obama is now believed to be the next president of the united states. with the west coast closed for polling places is it believed that obama now has 297 EC to become the next president of the united states. mccain has now conceded and accepts the vote.

McCain currently making his concession speech. A lot of people boo'd when he mentioned calling Obama to concede. Funny isn't it, how Republicans can't be gracious in anything, lest of all defeat.

I was about to post that. Yeah, I'm glad McCain's being a man, and I can't believed they boo'd the next President. Who does that? It's not like it's the defending World Series Champions facing your home team at Opening Day after knocking your team out of the ALCS (I have some issues with the Rays). **** idiots.

More boos at mention of Obama leading.

McCains supporters have let him down big time.

Actually Mccain was gracious when he spoke. He spoke well of Obama and raised his hand for his crowd to stop booing.

I wouldn't be surprised if Democrats boo when Obama mentions Mccain, it's what humans do. If we object to something we voice our opinion, for some people that's making a vocal sound.

What I disliked the most about tonight was that everybody assumed each state would go for a certain candidate before all the votes had been counted. We won't know that Obama has actually won until tomorrow when all the votes are counted. As of the posting of this, Alaska hasn't even reported yet(according to CNN's site). Not that Alaska's three votes make much difference, it just shows that it's not over yet.

I know this may be off topic, but what would happen tomorrow if The People heard that Mccain won 270 to 268?
