And Now We Wait

I'll be hanging around here tonight for the Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth.  If I remember four years ago, the race got called at 9:00 p.m. our time once most of the western states officially closed their polls.  But unless Colorado and Nevada are needed, we should be able to figure it out before then.

Edit at 8:15 p.m.: Pennsylvania goes to Obama. It just got tough for Romney.

Edit at 8:30 p.m.:  Obama wins Wisconsin. Leading strongly in New Hampshire.

Edit at 9:34 p.m.: Man, this is getting tight. Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina are neck and neck.

Edit at 10:10 p.m.: Obama wins Iowa.  Florida seems like Bush/Gore all over again.

Edit at 10:11 p.m. Obama wins New Mexico. (He is 21 electoral votes away).

Edit at 10:14 p.m.: Fox News projects Ohio for Obama. "Essentially, that's it."

Edit at 10:16 p.m.: NBC News projects President Obama wins re-election.

Edit at 10:18 p.m.: Fox News calls the election for Obama.

The President's first tweet:

Edit at 10:27 p.m.: Karl Rove is on Fox News saying that Ohio should not be declared for Obama.  Fox News embraces this declaration. Even this is genius by Fox News or they are embarrassing themselves.
