we are behind now.....is that bad or expected?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. behind what?

[Panasonic]

2. Nope. California is still ahead..

and it will massively dump the popular votes to Obama's way along with Oregon and Washington.

[dimbear]

11. It's like Chairman Mao used to say: the West is Blue. n/t

[Richardo]

3. 84 votes west of the Rockies

[still_one]

4. Behind what? We will win Ohio and it will be over, and the Latinos will bring us Florida

[seabeyond]

5. doesnt matter. look at the states that will go dem. and where ohio and florida are,

tending to obama.

it is a win

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. is this the first presidential election you've watched?

[teddy51]

7. Polls in the west have not closed yet. CA has 55 EV alone, so keep that in mind.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

8. whose behind ????

[gateley]

9. I don t think anybody's surprised. Only by 1 so no need to panic. :-)

[montanto]

10. expected. totally.

[NYC Liberal]

12. No. IA and NV are likely Obama and they will put Obama ahead.

Obama has good leads in FL and OH.

CA, WA, and OR will give him almost 80 votes.

Romney has no more safe red states to win. He has stalled.

[pheebs]

13. expected

They won't call Ohio or Florida for the president even though they should.

[politicaljack78]

14. everything is going according to plan.

300+ electoral votes for the POTUS.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. Because polls close first in more red states than blue states.

Think CA: 55 E.V.

[jmondine]

16. All you need to do is look at the West Coast

CA=55 EV's, OR=7, WA=12.
Not to mention an extra 4 from HI.
Relax. We are on track.

[bdamomma]

25. thanks for your information

i am still sweating between florida and ohio.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Expected......many red states in the south close early...

[spanone]

18. trash this thread

[WorseBeforeBetter]

20. LOL

[Honeycombe8]

19. Obama 162, Romney 163. Fox says it's 163 tied. Now comes the west.

Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, he's leading in CO, NM. Obama will hit 270 well before all those states come in.

[Courtesy Flush]

21. Don't worry unless

unless he starts losing states he was projected to win. If all the red state results came in at once Obama would look bad numerically, but he'd still be on target to win.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. California, Oregon and Washington are still to come

Thirty minutes, patience.

[arthritisR_US]

23. Red states are in the east so voting finishes

much earlier than the blue states in the west, chill.

[ceejdre82]

24. Absolutely not the first....I voted for Dukakis in a mock election in kindergarten, hehe....

I am just not as optimistic as some....it feels better when I see Obama ahead...and so many are still so close! Maybe I am spoiled after 2008....I feel like I am going to barf
