And the tally is not done with the popular vote and won't be done until the end of the week since they have to count all absentee ballots.

President Obama with around a 50,000 advantage as it stands.

Seems quite likely to stand.

"Down in the Sunshine State, the counting continues over who will ultimately get the 29 electoral votes. Obama leads 50 percent to 49.2 percent and by about 46,000 votes, but Miami-Dade and Pinellas counties are still sorting through some 18,000 absentee ballots. Voting went on well into the night, complicated by what will likely be record turnout and a 10-page ballot."

Pretty sure Obama will win. All 18,000 absentee ballots won't go to Romney. Question on what amount of the vote the candidate ahead has to be regarding automatic recount.
