Unless all the wheels fall off, I don't even call it close. I'm going with 11 PM. :thumbsup

Which would make it...midnight allowing for Hawaii polls to close?
That will depend on just how close it is. I think we'll see a clear win.J-man said:We will have a good indication before midnight but of course that doesn't take into account all the legal maneuvers which will go on for several days or weeks.
Mrs. Jack Russell said:I hate it when the news gives their projections with a percentage less that 100% of the precincts counted.
I work the Elections (come see me at Moses and election day if that is your precinct and early voting at the Cross Roads Library). Polls close at 7PM. I'm sure we will have a line and probably the last voter will be in around 9PM. You have to be in line by 7 to get to vote on election day!!!! So our precinct alone will not be counted until probably 11PM. So any projection earlier than midnight is too early to count on IMHO.

Swerving off topic for a moment ... where is the Cross Roads library?

EVEN WORSE - House would probably elect Romney. Senate would name the VP, which would probably be Biden. YIKES!!!
I personally think it won't be close enough for them to even cause trouble in legal circles. I'm hearing movement to Romney BIG in swing states, and I also heard that in Penn., where he's just 4 points behind Obama, that the rural counties are landslide for Romney.
