Blogger raining on my victory parade.
I'm in a very crowded Union office, about 60 people dancing all over the place. And I remain F5ing 538 on my laptop...
Dear World,
You're welcome.
Sincerely,
Ohio
I've been saying this to my wife ever since Ohio was called for Obama.
Wanna see something funny?

I am proud to live in a nation that can elect this man.
FIRED UP!!!!!
The Precident President
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Virginia now O50, M49!

I hate that OH was the state that put Obama over the top, but I'll take any win. Now let's go ahead and get a big win, not a modest one.
Amazing!!!! Yes we did!!!!

Congratulations, Barack! So sorry your grandmother didn't make it to today, but I'm sure she couldn't have been prouder....
I remembered as soon as I saw Ohio projected for Obama -- "wait! Nate's models for a McCain victory required that Ohio go red." say hello to President Obama.
It's time for tomorrow, spelled O-B-A-M-A. Great post, Nate.

Indiana looking good!!! Some Blue NorthWest counties still got lots of votes to count
NC got a shout, VA looking good, Arizona??? :-)
There IS such a thing as a Presidential Prospect!
I have stopped crying, and have thanked God that I lived long enough to see this day. I even went outside and kissed the ground.
God bless us all.
God bless President-elect Barack Hussein Obama.
And God bless America.
I love you all.
And.........
for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country.

Never underestimate the wisdom and courage of the American people. Yes we can!!
Lake county, IN is reporting fast and furious. Now with 414/561 precincts in, Obama 70 - McCain 29, which is a 65000 vote differential. Check: http://www.lakecountyin.org/cms-host/voters/microvote/2008ElectionResults/LakeElecSumm%20.htm
Oh yeah! I got a bottle of Asti and it needs to be opened, I can't wait till he takes the stage!!!

NATE SILVER F***ING PROJECTS!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S AS GOOD AS IF IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM GOD'S MOUTH!!!!!!!
YES!
Google/Blogger ate my first ever comment on this site, too. Which was: MSNBC just called Ohio for Obama!
wv: mulgic, possibly some kind of mold remover. Possibly Google should try some on their *$&$^%ing servers.
thank you 538 for all that you do...love your site. hope you're back for an obama reelection.
YES WE CAN!
Dammit, let's call Virginia already! I know, I know, I shouldn't be so worried given the probability of the outcome. But I gotta know that Obama won my own state before I'll get any sleep tonight! KF
OBAMA!!!
Nate, you're the hero at a watercooler in the middle of Alabama, just generally in how you present yourself (you've gotten more personable on camera) and in how much effing genius you've got.
Just letting you know.
Breathing in for the first time in a long time. I will sleep well tonight.
Thanks, Nate, for the best post I have read tonight!
cograts to the USA from germany.
This is an amazing day for the whole world.
And Virginia is turning, too :-)
Nate - fabulous work! Followed you for months.
Folks, the work starts NOW!!
Barb
Nate - a most sincere thank you! Your efforts are ever appreciated by us all.

@ Nathaniel
Add the west coast numbers and you break 270.
A new day for America!
wv: resess What we can do now that this is done
Yes. We. Have.
Breath in.. breath out... breath in...
This is very, very good and much needed news. I'm so glad to see change coming for this country - and the world.
Thank you Nate, Sean and Brett for your excellent work with this site!

THANK ZEUS YOU'RE BACK!
WE HAVE DONE IT!
Now we must defeat Prop 8!!
And he's taken the lead in Virginia!
Shit just got real.
OBAMA FTW!!!!!!!!111
I am calling IN for Obama once more. I called it almost 2 hours ago.
Ok, I had to do it. I ventured onto the Freeptard site to get a laugh and see what the mood is over there. Here's a direct quote.
"Remember, win respectively, loose respectively, don't put your whining comments on this board."
This is a really good example of the type of person that frequents their boards. They don't know the difference between respectfully and respectfully or lose and loose. Classic.
Congratulations President Barack Hussein Obama!!!
Finally!!! I feel like I haven't been able to breathe for eight years.
The scenes from Grant Park are unbelievable. Almost time to open the champagne.
Thanks, Nate, Sean, and Brett. Good luck to you guys!
Can it be?
Yes we did!
YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!

Thank you, Nate. You've been a consistent voice of reason throughout this campaign. You've risen above the rest.
A beautiful and incredible moment in history.
Good Luck Barak; you're gonna need it!
To make it to 270, he only needs California, Hawaii and Washington...always easily won by the Dems! Nate...thank you for declaring while all the news stations are dragging it out!

I want to second whoever said Nate is the best person on the Internet.
Dear America,
Well done on getting this one right, much love.
81% VA in BO now ahead by 13,000
I wonder how many of us there were trying to post Oh recalled for BO!
OHHHH YEEAAAAAAAAAHHH
No one else will call it yet, but with the west coast conceded well in advance, it's clear you've called it right.
Hope this doesn't decrease the California turnout in the last hour, since we have some key races up for grabs (gay marriage, anti-abortion).
I bet Iowa get called instantly!!!
Nate, thank you for the most beautiful exclamation point in American history!
Hope.
Hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope.

I can't wait to see the victory speech with 500,000 people filling the plaza in Chicago!
Way to go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me just say that fivethirtyeight never failed to give me hope when nothing else did.
And it may be a little early but...
We did it!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
8 long, bleak years of bloodshed, greed and immorality finally over! Hallelujah!
Thank you Lord!
Thank you Nate!

Fox News is AWESOME right now!!!!!!!!
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
Oh thank whatever diety you believe in!!!
:)
:)
:)
YES WE DID!!!!!
what do You guys think about Baracka for a girl??? Seriously, Partying here in Cuyahoga County!!! I told You guys OH was BLUE all along!
Back to my work for ending global warming!!!

We did our job in New Mexico --- Obamanos! We're waiting for Virginia, the mother of presidents, to come in for Obama! Come on VA, where are you?
Oh you fabulous Americans. You are all wonderful.
(PS Any other Brits on here the BBC coverage is hilarious! Nobody really seems to know what the fuck they're talking about... it was up earlier that South Carolina was a major battleground state. I mean, Jesus.)
It's late in the UK, but not too late to celebrate. sweet news.
Hell. Yeah.
I love you AMERICA!!!!!!!

The new dawn is here!!!!
Probably a lot of you have heard this already, but this is what I've heard recently:

And I mean all of our children!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!
Aaahhhhhhhhhhh!

FUNNIEST THING I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME!
Greetings from Canada!
Congratulations America! You have shown that there is hope after all, and that most of you do not have bigoted Stone Age minds and saw through the Palin-McCain nonsense.
Here's to a great next 8 years.

Congratulations, President Obama on behalf of the Disabled community.
Now it is time to get to work to make America the inclusionary society that it started out to be all those years ago.
And nowhere is the matter more poignant than the legal profession: a need to finally end discrimination within the legal ranks as nobly illustrated by BetterLegalProfession.org.
America will not be great until it becomes, at long last, an inclusionary society...at long last.
