obama wins georgia!

[kirkblitz]

ok so with 9 votes now cast in george they have called it for obama.

So how many do you think it will take to call it for huck, 0?

Probably call it for Romney....

Oh my God. Every single time this comes up. It's based on exit polling. Basic statistics and probability. Obama won exit polling in Georgia by a landslide. Logic tells us that he won Georgia by a landslide. Think!

It's called Atlanta, folks.

Ask 500 people in less than 20 minutes, and you can pretty much use Atlanta to model the entire state. They probably knew this at about 2PM

Hillary won't win. Obama won by 30-40+%.

They rarely call it unless it is obvious, in this case, Obama is winning by 50%...hard for him not to win. If it is close to the margin of error, they usually wait until they get a decent percentage of returns in before calling it. In the republican race, they likely won't call it until 60-70% are in, it looks like a statistical tie based on the returns, with huck having aslight advantage over romney, who has a slight advantage over McCain.
