Barring aliens abducting Obama, the writing is on the wall and it spells 'Congratulation Obama, President-elect'. Which means now I will just wait and enjoy the remaining polls, and the unfolding of how large his victory will be.

To make this waiting a little more exciting I have decided I'll play a game of Electoral College Bingo. I'll be following the elections on November 5th (yes, we're quite a bit ahead of the US ;)) from my office, with some alcoholic-beverage-substitute, and every correctly predicted state (for either party) I'll take a sip.

'Easy' Obama states:
- Vermont
- Massachusetts
- New York
- Rhode Island
- Connecticut
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Maryland
- DC
- Michigan
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Oregon
- California
- Hawaii

'Looking easy now' Obama states:
- Maine
- Florida
- Wisconsin
- Colorado
- New Mexico
- Washington

'My additional predictions' Obama states:
- New Hampshire
- Ohio
- Minnesota
- Virginia
- North Carolina
- Nevada

For 10 bonus sips each, 'Who would have thought', Obama states:
- Georgia
- Indiana
- Missouri
- Arkansas(!)
- North Dakota(!)
- Montana(!)

(And the remainder for McCain then obviously).

Ignoring my bonus picks I guess this means I predict a final tally of 353 for Obama (and 403 counting the bonus picks... although I also expect pigs to fly in that case; if he actually makes 403 or more, I'll be forced to down the remainder of whatever bottle I have to hand... good thing it won't be actual alcohol!).
