Yes we can

CNN's just called Ohio for Obama. Now, this is still a bit premature seeing as it follows the tradition of only 20% of precincts reporting, but if their other predictions are correct then this completely secures it. The man on CNN's just demonstrated that even if McCain gets every other state he possibly can short of divine intervention he still ends up on about 268 - he was at it for about five minutes and kept going "Well, I'll give him this one even though he'll never get it". Still to come for Obama are New Mexico, most likely Colorado, and all of the West coast - California, Oregon, Washington. I'm going to be optimistic and include those in my tally now. Take that.

States so far: 27/50 (33/50 with predictions)
Electoral votes decided so far: 272/538 (315 with predictions)
Democrats: 194 (+NM +CO +CA +OR +WA = 281)
Republicans: 78 (+TX = 112)
