Originally Posted By WorldDisney ^^Yeah exactly!

And I was confused on PA, because knowing what he knew, we were told McCain couldnt win without flipping a blue state, but after it was flip, the pundits kept saying his chances were slim to get to the winning mark. I still had no clue what they meant assuming Obama kept all the Kerry states.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<ONCE Obama got PA, the local networks were saying he basically won>> Totally agree. That's when I called it "over" in the Official Results thread. << still had no clue what they meant assuming Obama kept all the Kerry states.>> West Coast polls were still open so they were trying to honor that and not influence anyone who hadn't voted yet.
