1. The west coast hasn't been included yet.
I think that will greatly change the popular vote.

5. Yeah, true - he'll net pretty well here
Also, looking a bit closer at the county results, even a bunch of the already called states still have a bunch of urban votes coming in, so he'll rack up some more there.

3. California is going to break the counter
My feet are testimony to that.
