We're waiting for several states to come in: North Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Colorado. All look really good for Obama. Those states comprise 64 electoral votes. Indiana is still out too.
At 11:00 PM, polls in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii will close. Obama will win all four. Those states have 77 electoral votes.
Obama currently has 207 electoral votes. He needs 270 to win. Within the next hour, some combination of the above states will push over 270 electoral votes. At that point, the networks will declare that he has been elected president. It's coming. Soon.
John McCain will have to call Obama to concede. McCain will have the opportunity to make his concession speech. Then, we'll hear from Obama. He'll address the huge, and growing, crowd at Grant Park in Chicago.
This is an historic evening. I know it's happening, but I'm still in a little bit of shock. But, it's real.
Our guy is going to be the president.
