Obama claims PA prize

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama opened a big lead in the Electoral College in the presidential election Tuesday night as NBC News projected that he had won Pennsylvania, which both parties had targeted as critical to winning the race, along with several other large Eastern and Midwestern states.

NBC projected that Obama had also won Massachusetts, New Jersey and his home state of Illinois, three states with hefty electoral vote hauls. He also won Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire and Vermont, the network’s political unit projected.

Obama was also leading in Ohio, another major prize, although NBC News said the results were still too early to call definitively.

Current count: Obama- 103 Electoral Votes. McSame- 34. This is a huge state for us. Lets just hope the momentum keeps going in our direction.

2. MSNBC has already called it.

So far, no surprises. I'm still hoping, although it doesn't look likely, that we can get Virginia.

6. I'm also waiting for CNN...

I'm also waiting for CNN to call it.

But 2 other networks have called PA?

3. Welcome bluevoter4life

Another Dolphins fan, WooHoo!

What a season so far. Beat three good teams and lose to Houston.

As long as they beat Oakland, I took a beating from Raider fans last season.

5. Haha. Thanks

I've actually been a member for 3 years or so. I just lurk most of the time. I actually haven't really watched a Dolphins game this season. I am in Tampa now, Bucs are dominant. I am so happy we beat the Patriots and I hate Oakland almost as much as you do.

4. My home Commonwealth went for Obama?

I'm afraid to turn on MSNBC. I'm watching "House" reruns.

I want him to take Virginia, too.

He took PA? I predicted he wouldn't.

I am SO fucking happy to be wrong.

Hey, what a welcome to DU, bluevoter!!!!!!!!!!!!

:toast:

Plus, I have friends there, who were telling me how well Obama was doing there. :)

Although this is wonderful, joygasmic news, I'm not sure exactly what the call is based on? Does anyone have a link to the exit polls or something?

13. He is getting Florida too...

LOL gotta love it ....PA and FL make it impossible for McSame to win...Early Night for Obama Win...

[Gap Spanner]

14. FLORIDA TOO!

According to Electoral-Vote.com, with 20% of the votes counted in FL, Obama has a 10 point lead (55-45). PA and FL in the Obama Column? Can you say PRESIDENT Obama? :) it's going to happen.

[Chulanowa]

15. PA and FL? I was afraid of this

I'm going to spend the next two months pinching myself to make sure i'm awake!

16. This is it!

Party at Molly Brannigan's on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon!
