Michigan called for Obama - interesting as its Romneys home state

Uh-oh, reports of 600 vote difference in Florida. It's 2000 all over again...

Let's just hope it's not enough to make a difference.

Wisconsin & Pennsylvania for Obama - getting tricky for Romney to get the numbers at this rate

shITV

excellent, can't believe I never saw that before!

Obama well ahead in Ohio after 20% of the vote. That would be game over for Romney.

Florida looks like it will go to the wire

Yes Ohio looks good for Obama - Romney can't do it without Ohio

It looks like Obama could win the college vote but lose the popular vote. Reversal of 2000!

^^boom

Yes Republicans will have the House of Representatives again
New Hampshire for Obama :)

85% of votes returned in Florida and Obama has a 20,000 vote lead. Close.

Ohio is still early days there is only 30% of votes reported.

Ok, that's the first swing state down, so if the safe states go to plan it's:

Obama 241
Romney 191

106 left...

Yes but Obama has taken two of the 7 undecided states admittedly only small electoral college - Think Obama will take Ohio but Florida is anyone's guess

Bill O'Reilly who is an anchor apparently on a obscure white supremacist website is quoted on the Guardian as saying ' Obama wins because its not a traditional America anymore. The white establishment is the minority . People want things'. I think the word he is looking for is 'democracy'.

A couple of interesting things on the BBC just now.

1. If Florida is won by less than 0.5% a recount will automatically be triggered.
   
2. Romney is behind in the areas of Ohio that he needs to win.
   

Romney now has to win Florida, Ohio, Virginia,N Carolina,Iowa & Colorado.

I'm watching in Philadelphia. I think Big Bird is going to be happy.

Looks that way - Bert and Ernie won't have their Trashcan sold out from under them

88% of votes counted in Florida - Obama leads by 16,000- remaining votes to be counted are in Miami-Dade which is solid Democrat.

251 to Obama :)

Right, I'm calling this for Obama, and going to bed shortly.

big PHEW

Fox News has just called Ohio for Obama - Iowa just gone blue ��
