Obama could get over 320 pretty easily

Well, Karl Rove and I had him at 338, and I was being generous to McCain. I think 320 is the floor at this point.

Chuck Todd, STFU about the blue paint, I want to beat you.

Silver had Obama at 348

Yes, but what is Jon Stewart going to do?

If Coleman loses, that's 59 right? What an abortion for the Republicans.

(abortion, republican, LOL)

Same thing they did before Bush was President. Make fun of whoever is President and politicians in general

Depends how Lieberman is counted I guess.

This comes as no surprise.

Well, I think we're going to hold NJ-07 based on what we're hearing, which would be nice. Lance is a good guy and Stender is a bitch.

NJ-03 doesn't look so hot, but still winnable. Up 12k, but Cherry Hill and Willingboro are still uncounted.

I would imagine Cali will change that. And, remember, Bush only got 50.7% in 2004.

I can't wait for the death of JPS, when Obama will appoint a radical leftist SCOTUS judge, and the Senate confirms easily because of the beating they are doling out tonight. Good times.

Probably go back to being more of a comedian and less of a pundit.

Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito can't die for 4-8 years. That's pretty much what this comes down to. It's not like anyone is going to be more liberal than Ginsberg and Stevens, who are the two most likely to retire. I guess Kennedy could retire, and that might be bad.

mccain supporters were looking quite stoic in their 'celebration' hall. i feel bad

This night really does suck without Russert

It'll be interesting if/when the time comes, but Obama will find someone more leftist than those two IMHO. I don't know who, but he'll find 'em.
