1. When was this?
They called it for Obama about half an hour ago.

4. Earlier this evening the called it for Hillary
Later as the votes came in, Obama passed her up and caused Missouri to transmogrify into Florida.

How do you like those sandy beaches and warm breezes now?:hi:

12. I must have blinked
I watched MSNBC all night -- but I did take bathroom breaks. I never saw the call in question. I personally "called" MO for BHO around 11:30, but only my mother and brother were in on that piece of news.

What surprised me was how well Obama did in NY and CT. They were the big surprises of the nightt, IMO.

Sandy beaches and warm breezes? I don't really get the reference. I'm still waiting for it to snow in Philly. :(

6. I didnt hear MSNBC call it. Reuters, Local stations in MO, and the AP did however.

I meant whoever got it wrong. Shame on me. All for a cheap joke.

9. NPR.ORG just took Missouri away from Clinton and now shows "Too close"
I was honestly surprised to see it go to her in the first place. I didn't think it would be this close, either.
