Looks like from the most part, Obama is at 51% and McCain is at 44%. Obama dominated all of the New England States. What are the chances of McCain winning this race?

I live in the Northeast, which somebody already threw a blue can of paint on. Oh well, let's hope McCain pulls away victorious from this one!

My Theroy:

If the states in Grey catch up, and McCain dominates there, then he very well may have a chance. These are states such as Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona. If all these states end up getting red, for McCain, then he very well may dominate this race.

Let's Go McCain You NEED to win this race.

This is definitely going to be interesting to watch play out this evening.

I just ran some numbers based on the CNN map MP_Girl posted, and based solely on the New England states, Illinois and the surrounding states, and the West Coast, if the election turns out just as that map shows for those states, Obama has the thing won with 279 electoral votes, and that doesn't even include the other 18 votes he has for the states I didn't include. This could unfortunately turn into a bad day for McCain...

I saw on the news this morning that a precinct in Maine was already reporting in, they had 21 registered voters and all of them had already voted: 15 for Obama and 6 for McCain.
We stood in line for over an hour waiting for my mom to vote this morning.

Let's hope not-but like all others have said, I would not be surprised if NOBAMA wins this race..We'll just have to see how it plays out.

Check out the thread Heavy Turn out. Seemingly it's like that all over the country, which is good because that means more people are voicing their opinions.
