[BlooInBloo]

Is it a record?

[Windy]

1. It has to be...and I'm thrilled, but HOW can they know already? I hope its not a guess! nt

[babylonsister]

2. It was quick! Double-digit victory in NC. nt

[olkaz]

3. They called Pennsylvania pretty quick for Hillary

Suspiciously quick, imo.

[PM7nj]

11. No, it was over an hour before they called it.

[gateley]

18. It says now (7:40) that zero precincts are reporting in NC! nt

[Gore1FL]

12. Not on MSNBC they didn't

[LSparkle]

20. Wait a minute -- WRONG ... PA was "too close to call", then "too early to call"

and then FINALLY called for her around an hour (or maybe 1-1/2 hours)
after the polls closed.

[olkaz]

22. How does that make me wrong?

That's still quick.

[LSparkle]

23. It wasn't like they called PA the minute the polls closed

Like they did tonight in NC. It was such a BLOWOUT in
NC that they could call it right away ... PA WASN'T A
BLOWOUT so it took a while.

[Adelante]

4. I heard it called on CNNI

At exactly 7:30 Eastern.

[Nia Zuri]

5. about 10 seconds

[Fearless]

6. Called by exit polls - immediately called... no record sorry.

[Guaranteed]

7. ZERO. It was over before the count. nt

[Orangepeel]

8. It can't be faster than they called Maryland

I refuse to concede a record!

[Kaylee]

19. Hi fellow Marylander!!!

Maryland was definitely faster.;-)

[gateley]

9. MSNBC was calling it as my Mac clock read 7:30! nt

[Doityourself]

21. Same on CNN! It was instantaneous!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Two minutes.

The bigger the margin of victory, the shorter the period between poll closing and calling the election.

[alteredstate]

13. South Carolina was called for Obama at 7pm

As soon as the polls closed.

[TheDonkey]

14. lol, a few miliseconds.

[BlooInBloo]

17. I know right? lol!

[Dbdmjs1022]

15. IT had to be a blowout. They knew as soon as it was over that he won. :)

[TragedyandHope]

16. I think they may have had some numbers

beforehand, but were not allowed to release them during official voting hours.

Or else the exit polls were just so overwhelming.

Maybe both.


CNN is showing


*OBAMA 40% : 870
CLINTON 60% : 1,323

0% reporting

*WINNER

So, I don't know.
