[exliontamer]

They've only called the obvious states... they're bending over backwards not to call the big boys yet.

7. Saw somewhere on here

(sorry -- halfway through my second glass of Zin and I've read a thousand threads in the past two hours) they're theorizing Ohio may not have a firm commitment to either candidate until tomorrow morning. Don't be surprised if it isn't called tonight -- they're still voting in some Columbus precincts.
