      It won't matter because Osama Bin Laden (aka Barack Obama) is going to win, regardless. Most of the votes will come from the North East because that's easier to fix.

   Soooo. This is awkward.
   They called Ohio for Obama.
   But looks like Ohio is still in play (?) and Romney waiting for finals.
   If it flips to Romney, Obama's back to 254 EC.
   If Obama gets Colorado and Nevada and Oregon he still gets to 270.
   RIght?
   How does Romney get to 270 even with VIrgina, Ohio and Florida?
   He can't???

   I agree it looks so close -- and even looks like Romney's a few votes ahead -- in Ohio.
   Not sure why they called it so quickly.
   Chuck Todd of NBC seems to know all the numerical predictions and why they gave it to Obama.
   
   Oh well. It's now 284. Obama took Colorado.
   So without Ohio (20) he's got 264.

   Obama has 290.  Give Romney Ohio, and take the 18 away from Obama.  Give Romney Florida (29) and Virginia (13) also.
   
   This leaves Obama with 272 and Romney with 264.

                  The last states to close are California, Washington, Hawaii, Idaho and Oregon those have the lowest electoral counts yet and it's pretty clear which party their populations favor overall so logically the popular vote should change towards Obama from soon.
                  
                  For example California has only 17% counted.
