When will Obama's popular vote margin increase?
There is no way he is about to win close to 370 electoral votes and he is only winning the popular vote by 3%?

I don't believe it.

2. I don't think much of California has been counted yet.
Looks like a 4-5 % margin. Which is big these days.

3. It will increase some, but this is a VERY efficient set of results.
When it is going your way you win all the close ones.

Winning EV better than 2:1 suggests a bigger vote margin but we did win all the close ones.

4. There are still a LOT of votes to be counted yet.
It's at 4% now.

5. There's probably 25-30M votes left to be counted... He'll pick up another 1% or so -
The swing states were extremely close, and are breaking all for Obama

8. Ground game. 50-state strategy
Look, we act all surprised but we saw this in the primaries: this man knows how to leverage small advantages into big ones.
