mccain

We’ve been told today that yesterday wasn’t just a win for Obama…it was a win for American democracy.

People were finally energized to come out to the polls and both candidates broke records for the amount of votes they received.

However…where are the totals proving this?

Barack Obama is promising supporters that "change has come." After his historic election as the nation's first black president, Obama promised to be a president for all Americans — including those who voted against him.

In Arizona, McCain told disappointed supporters, "The American people have spoken, and spoken clearly."

NBC just called it.

Again, the landslide scenario isn’t happening…yet.

Still…it…is…over.

Since the nets called Ohio for Obama, he’s assured a win tonight.

Yeah, I know nobody has called it yet, but the electoral road ahead is impossible for McCain.

There’s just no realistic path for him anymore.

So congratulations Mr. President. You’re in for one hell of a ride.

CBS radio just called it.

The path to 270 for McCain is pretty much done.

20 electoral votes for Obama.

Moving on…

No surprises here, although Georgia was seen as a possible landslide indicator for Obama.

Georgia has 15 electoral votes.

Alabama has 9.

MSNBC just called it, but I’m linking to CNN.

The state has 8 electoral votes.

Welcome to the Donklephant 2008 Electoral College results coverage.

I’ll be constantly updating this post as new results come in, so please watch the numbers as well as the updates below the numbers.

Total Electoral Votes
Obama: 0
McCain: 0

Full numbers below!

• Alabama (9): D - 0%, R - 0%
• Alaska (3): D - 0%, R - 0%
• Arkansas (6): D - 0%, R - 0%
• Arizona (10): D - 0%, R - 0%

This is another place Bush won in 2004.

What’s more, no Democrat has ever won here.

And Obama’s margin is the most since they started.

1996
Dole: 13
Clinton: 12
Perot: 4
Browne: 2

2000
Bush: 17
Gore: 13

2004
Bush: 16
Kerry: 14
Nader: 1

First, this guy will easily win…

However, I do think the race has tightened a bit.

So this is where I see the numbers going tomorrow night.
