It is almost over

Some of the networks finally called Florida for Bush. Kerry is getting results in Florida way below expectations (I think that Mason-Dixon had Bush four points ahead - very close to what the results are looking right now, and living up to its fame as being the best pollster for that state, and for state polls in general).
Now it goes all to the 277-261 scenario for Kerry, but things are not looking promising in Ohio and New Mexico.
Around 85% of Ohio precincts have reported its results and Bush is still ahead by around 130 thousand votes - that, according to knowledgeable sources right beside me, may be a large enough difference to give the state to Bush, even with some results still coming from Columbus and other cities.
If Bush wins Ohio, the election is over, because in the best scenario for Kerry (winning the rest of the states) - the electoral college would be tied (269/269), throwing the election to the House of Representatives.

The Republican party is picking up Senate seats in Georgia, South and North Carolina. It seems like the Democrats are going to pick up Colorado. The Florida and South Dakota races are still too close to call.
