A lot of mail in ballots there that take longer to get through. Obama will probably win by 2 points and around 3 million votes.

(36,437 posts)4. Obama's up about 2.8 million votes now
They still have lots of outstanding votes in mail-ins and the like.
Obama may end up at 61.5 million, with Romney at 58.6 or so.
The spread will stay consistent at about 2.6-2.9 million votes.

Still counting Florida (big surprise there!). Other states counting absentee ballots.
So far, it looks like Nate Silver is the big winner in the pundit game - just about dead on!
