Now 281 on NPR. What's the number needed for a landslide? Nvm, I'll google.

Edit: Now at 290 on NPR. Shit. This may qualify, whatever the definition.

Usually a landslide is a term used when one candidate wins by at least 10% difference in the vote. It doesn't really apply to the electoral college.

Here they say it's all projections (only 77% of OH vote checked, 150 vote advance) and mitt ain't conceding yet.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the networks are jumping the gun. There are fours states still not final yet: OH, CO, FL and VA. If Obama wins just one, that'll do it. But nothing has been conceded yet by Romney, despite all the cheering from the Obama camp.

I'll probably sound pretty stupid in a few more minutes. :shifty:

I'm a bit hesitate as well until one of those states is called.
