Once Pennsylvania was called, they made it pretty clear that they thought Romney had no chance.

I was texting my dad all night and he kept complaining because i would send something like "Obama won Wisconsin" and my dad would say 20 minutes later that MsNBC finally called it. He finally gave up and moved on to a different next work. He said they were terrible last night.
