Well at least a couple of billionares got to spend their money. Sheldon Adelson spent what 100 million dollars for Mittens and Newt ?
Linda McMohan of the wrestling federation spent anywhere from 70-100 million of her own money for the two senate bids and came up zilch?
Oh and the infamous Koch brothers-how many millions did they plough into this race??

Given that CA is going Obama, I'm calling it for Obama now.
CA has 55 electoral votes, enough to push Obama over the needed number. Unless Romney somehow takes OH or FL at the last moment, but that's highly unlikely given the percentages in.

CNN already called OH for Obama and declared him the winner.

Obama now has 258 evotes, Romney only 200. 270 is needed to win.
Once again the popular vote is evenly split, but the electoral vote, which is what counts, is a landslide. Obama has won.

I must say, the best thing about this election has been Google's coverage. They did a really nice job on the election results webpage.

OK, I stayed up to late. Here's just about the final tally. Obama won regardless of the few popular votes (electoral votes) left to count. Here's the map as of 12:30 a.m. EST.

Looks like the Dems have control of the Senate. The House is still up for grabs. Obama leading considerably in the electoral college even though it's neck-in-neck in the popular vote.
I'll be hitting the sack soon as I got work tomorrow, but Google is providing excellent election coverage at http://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/results
Here's a snapshot of that page. Good job Google.
