Romney 72% on NYT, there is NO WAY that can be correct and it also shows Romney wining Richmond in VA, which I also know is impossible.

...was sort of artificial. We'll have to wait it out.

Winning FL would make the night go easier.

But it's not totally necessary.

So if we get it, that will be a pleasant surprise.

Not only that, but if we pick up FL then the race is all but over.

All the early vote i.e. absentee, and early voting is counted first. It's a known factor that the democrats always do good when the first poll projections come in. Its the votes that come in later, that one needs to worry,
