Chris Wallace is saying that the Romney camp is saying not so fast. They are disputing FNC and other networks calling Ohio for Obama.
Twenty percent of the vote has yet to be counted and Obama leads by less than a thousand votes.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Well, as you all know by now, Romney delivered a concession speech a couple of hours later. Even if he had won the battle in Ohio, he would have lost the war.
It was painful to watch Michael Barone set Karl Rove straight as to why FNC called Ohio for Obama. Rove was grasping at straws. He didn’t question Barone’s methodology but questioned making the call too soon. But if they had waited, it would have only put off the inevitable.

The late trend in Ohio vote counting has been favoring Romney. It all comes down to which precincts are slowest, Dems or Repubs.

It all comes down to how fast the dems can manufacture fake votes
Fiscal| 11.6.12 @ 11:40PM
When you do a county by county analysis, it won't turn out even close because the outstanding votes have been overwhelmingly Democrat. In fact, Obama had the better ground game by far. Romney is supposed to be a great manager, but he sure didn't manage this one well. I guess politics is much different than business.
JmsA| 11.7.12 @ 12:06AM
No recriminations here. The people have spoken for the status quo. I cannot help but continue to think, beware of what you wish for, you might just get it. Good luck to all.

We may be seeing a lot of the results from early voting which favored Obam. Once the counts are finished, Romney will gain ground and some states. I hope it's enough. The networks annouced Kerry as the prospective winner in 2004. It's too soon yet to declare with certainty.
RCV| 11.7.12 @ 12:12AM
The uncounted votes are from Cleveland. I don't blame him for waiting though. And unless he wins Florida, Ohio won't even matter.
Kingofthenet| 11.7.12 @ 12:12AM
Ohio doesn't matter anymore, other battlegrounds have already broke for the President.
Kingofthenet| 11.7.12 @ 12:48AM
Mittens has NO CLASS, concede you dolt.
Mike in N.C.| 11.7.12 @ 12:50AM
Romney didn't write a concession speech. Need any additional evidence that right wingers inhabit a parallel universe?
woodsman1st| 11.7.12 @ 11:51AM
He has ten times the class of both Al Gore and Hanoi Kerry who still whine.
DRed| 11.7.12 @ 2:28AM
That sound you heard was the right wing bullshit machine running straight into a wall of reality.

Allen West-gone. Todd Akin-thanks for playing. Moudock? Done. That pro-wrestling lady you guys ran in CT-slaughtered. Joe Walsh-I hardly knew ye. Scott Brown-better luck next time, loser. Do you people see that the electorate just sent you a message about your sexist, race baiting, science denying platform of economically illiterate nonsense? I bet not. I have news for you. Just getting the vote of white men doesn't work any more. You actually need some new ideas. So where do you go from here?
geronl| 11.7.12 @ 4:14AM
Scott Brown was a liberal, Romney was a liberal-moderate. So thanks for playing.
geronl| 11.7.12 @ 4:13AM
They concede. They won't even complain about all the vote fraud, which will be 10X worse next time with their full consent.
BackToBasics| 11.7.12 @ 6:31AM
Look at the Mr. and Mrs. faces when their win was annouced. These are not the faces of 2 people who know they won without cheating. He's got a smirk and she cannot even look up.

Well.....have they been counted yet?
Are there no law suits pending for all the fraudulent actions of the left?
I am not one that never admits defeat; but in this case, my country is on it's deathbed and I am willing to grasp at straws.
Perhaps impeachment over the dishonorable and cowaredly acts of Obama in the Benghazi scandal??
Anything at all??
