When do you think/know the President Elect will be announced?

I have a feeling McCain will offer his cession speech about 8:30 AM.

Obama Biden 2008-2016

All depends on VA. This has been a solidly red state for years.

If the exit polls say it's close then it won't be until probably the next day.

If it says that one candidate is slightly leading the other then it might be wee hours of Wednesday, 5 November.

If one candidate is leading the other greatly in the exit polls, the networks will call that state and you'll probably hear the concession of the other candidate that night, like 10-11pm.

The TV stations will be the first to declare a winner, Fox a bit later than everyone else, as the winner will be Obama.

McCain will concede soon after the last polling booths close in California, and an hour or so later Obama will declare victory. Hawaii and Alaska will still be voting at that time.

Technically, it shouldn't happen until the Electoral College votes are counted... which I think is December 15th this year.

But the popular vote numbers should be announced by the end of the week. If there are any problems counting any of them, it could be a long time.

As soon as the polls close in California. Nope, this year, Florida and Ohio won't matter. Obama can lose them both and still win the election. The decision will be made in PA, VA, CO, and NM.

McCain will wait until the polls close in California, but he will give a concession speech at a few minutes after 11pm EST.

Before 10:00 p.m. Central Time...I hope. America doesn't need another close election.

That all depends on how VA, OH, and FL fall. If they all fall the same way early, it will be over quick. If McCain sweeps all three of those, It could be a late night.

The first hour.

If Obama wins Pennsylvania or Virginia, its over.

If Obama wins Pennsylvania, Repubs in Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri and Nevada will stop voting and cry.

We already know who wins.

It is in the Tuesday, October 28, 2008 edition of The New Mexico Sun News. They have declared "Obama wins!"

Democrats, you don't need to vote now on Nov. 5th.

Obama has already won. I'm serious. Search it.
