Polls are closing and the results are coming in. Pennslyvania and the Northeast went to Obama making the score 102/34. McCain has OK, Tenn and SC... I was surprised the traditional red states of MS and AL have not been called...
I see one poll showing Obama 103-34 and another 103-48. One poll has Obama in a slight popular vote lead and one with a slight McCain lead. Both are showing roughly 19 million votes thus far. Either way, this country is still going to be sharply divided. If the Republicans had a decent candidate and the economy timing hadn't fallen right into Obama's lap, I think he'd be getting whipped right now. If he wins I don't expect much in the way of assistance to the middle class. I think that was BS and most of the 100K-250K wage earners will end up funding liberal pet programs and paying for the ills of the "poor".
Romney probably would have done quite well with economic issues, but unfortunately two irrelevant states picked McCain.

I'm about to go on a self imposed exile and see if I can make it until Friday before I find out who won.
