So we'll go out on a limb here and answer Mike's question: Short night, big win for Barack Obama.
McCarville makes the national race sound close, but we don't think so. The Electoral College map favors Obama from east to west to some places in between.
No, Obama won't carry Oklahoma, but he will carry plenty of big states, more than enough to carry the day by a handy margin.
The bottom line: Obama wins going away. We predict no one will need to stay up late for some heavily Democratic or Republican precinct to report—it's a done deal.

It's going to be a rough night for Fox News viewers and KFAQ/KRMG listeners. I'm going to enjoy myself. The champagne is chilled.
I dialed my IQ down to about 20 and am commenting in the KRMG chatroom. I fit right in!
Dole lost her race. Go Kay Hagan! I contributed $$ to her.
Funny how the right-wing media like Fox and KRMG love to build up the hopes of the faithful. Reality will intrude.
Quote from the chat room: "What the heck is going on in Tx? 51% - 48% Obama"

[giga2001] 7:52 pm: I personally want to say thank you to Michael for making it easy for
me to remember what I was going to do - 3 steps - yes to republicans, no to judges, yes
to state questions

get 2 ballots to vote, one was yellow with the streets questions on it. I'm in Broken Arrow

[SV] 8:21 pm: Liberalism unchecked...
Awwwwwww....
[SV] 8:25 pm: America has been prepped for the past 30 years through pop-culture, gov't
run public schools, etc. to elect someone as far-left as Obama.
[SV] 8:30 pm: My wife is talking to her little nephew, he want's Obama to win, she asked
him why, he said Change - that's all he could say, that's all any of them can say... half of
them don't have a clue about his voting record.
[SV] 8:31 pm: They don't know or acknowledge his past and present associations. If you
tell them they say, “conspiracy nut”, or toss out that old race or class-warfare card.

everyone is interdependent.” - John Dewey

1st GOP pres. after Obama: impeached yesterday.
Worst president in history up for reelection in a few weeks. Of course Oklahoma is solidly behind this two-bit Mussolini. This was always a dumb state, we just didn't know exactly how dumb and mean until relatively recently.
OK folks, here it comes, a referendum on our democracy.
Trump, I hope you spend the rest of your time on earth in jail before you go to hell.
