- First close state called! Michigan called for Obama. It will be in my next update… 02:02:58
- Michigan was the tipping point state in my last update of my analysis. This is not good for Romney. :-) 02:04:36
- RT @ChrisAWheeler: @abulsme Keep me updated! You’re better than CNN. 02:05:46
- .@ChrisAWheeler Heh. Thanks! :-) in reply to ChrisAWheeler 02:06:03

- Blog posts catching up soon, but Iowa just went blue. Romney’s best case is now to lose, even if he wins all the remaining close states. 04:11:19

- I had been watching MSNBC prior to polls closing. Switched to CNN cause I had easy audio option for that in the car for when I had to go. 17:22:03
