2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDrunken Irishman got it pretty close...
11:00 ET:
Polls close in California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Idaho and North Dakota.
Obama is declared the winner in California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii. Romney in Idaho and North Dakota.
With California's 55 electoral votes, the networks announce Obama has been reelected.
He leads Romney 275-177. Crowds are celebrating in Chicago.
The only difference was, Ohio was called later than he expected (he predicted 9:50 PM). Aside from that, he was off on his predicted time for Obama's victory by only around 30 minutes.
