"Obama Wins by a Landslide!" - This was my Wishful Prediction! I want to see Blue, Blue, Blue! It was 7PM, and I'm aiming for over 350 Electoral Votes! This is my State by State Win posted at the hour that it was announced!
At 9:20PM - the scale has tipped VERY STRONG for an Obama Victory!
By 11PM - Obama projected the Next President of the United States!


Its 7:10PM East Coast time -
It's still too early to tell but some States have already made their announcements:

Kentucky (8 Electoral College) > McCain 8
Vermont (3 Electoral College) > Obama 3

So far - this is the prediction for the House:
261 for Democrats
174 for Republicans

This is a total repudiation of the Republican Party!
Stay tune - More to Come!
