Call it now

I reckon Obama with 368 (or so) electoral votes. What say you?

I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. If I weren't worried about manipulation of voting machines in key states I would be up where you are, but instead I will call Obama with 295 votes. Just enough to win.

I'm afraid of being too optimistic. I certainly want an Obama win, and it's certainly possible that it will happen, but I have this dread that Republican dirty tricks will win out.

Not bad. I'll say 352, +9 in the senate, +28 in the house.

350. Is there a prize for being right (besides the obvious one)?

Actually, now that I've had time to think, 350 is too many. I'm changing my vote to 315. Vote early, vote often.

I cannot do arithmetic to save my life. I should have said "364, three off, so there!" He's got NC, and won't get MO. I reckon three off isn't bad when people like Susan, who is an informed Democrat on the ground, said 315. Mike got even less. I win the milkshake.

MO is still up for grabs per AP. That could make it 375, not my math error of 374. This could take weeks to decide. But I doubt the Supreme Court will intervene to settle this milkshake.
