I see where they "project" but are all the official votes in, counted, and reported? California just closed their polling places recently.

According to PBS, all of the stations, including CNN, are relying on exit polls. That may have changed as some states have had time to count their votes, but I don't know for sure if all of the votes have been counted in the states that have been called.

I'm not saying that he can't win but the exit polls aren't an exact science.

I'm curious as to when the actual official announcement will be made.

McCain is conceding right now, so I would say it is official.

I'm happy for him. I don't believe this will change the world by any means, but I know it means a lot to so many people. A tiny step in the right direction.

I am just GIDDY now. I can't believe this happened in MY LIFETIME! I NEVER would have thought it, NEVER.

God bless our great nation, and our new president.

McCain handled it well and gave a good speech that seemed sincere. I did think it was tacky that people booed. It seemed as if McCain knew he lost way before it was announced.

haha PartyHair!

I thought McCain's speech was very eloquent. He did a great job. I thought Obama's speech was wonderful as well... who else saw Oprah crying?

That alone, made me laugh through my own fit of crying... I love America!
