Apparently we will know on Friday but it appears that the final Electoral Vote count will be Obama 332, Romney 206. If that ends up being the case, the Prez will have pulled in approximately 62% of the electoral votes.
As ol' Bum might say: if that ain't a Landslide, it won't take long to call roll!

As Florida Vote Count Drags On, G.O.P. Says It Looks Good for Obama

Despite the never-ending counting of ballots in Florida,
Mitt Romney‘s campaign on Thursday recognized that
President Obama is on his way to victory there. With only ballots from Democratic-leaning counties left to be counted, the final tally was not expected to change the outcome, Republican acknowledged.
“We thought based on our polling and range of organization that we had done what we needed to win,” Brett Doster, a Florida adviser for Mitt Romney,
told The Miami Herald in a statement. “Obviously we didn’t, and for that I and every other operative in Florida has a sick feeling that we left something on the table. I can assure you this won’t happen again.”
By Thursday afternoon, the state Division of Elections Web site said Mr. Obama led Mr. Romney 49.9 percent to 49.2 percent, with a difference of about 55,000 votes out of more than eight million votes cast. Several counties continued to count absentee ballots throughout the day. An official declaration is expected on Friday, and an Obama victory would give him 332 electoral votes to Mr. Romney’s 206.
Not that it matters but will Florida go for Obama or Romney?
