Charlie Cook and Chuck Todd just called it for Obama

By GottaLaff

Just now on Hardball, they as much as called the election for Obama. The only reason they didn't (officially) is because they're "not allowed".

Cook:

"It's never over 'til it's over, but it sure as hell looks over"

Todd:

"McCain folks say if they can get it to 4 nationally, then they can get there. But 7?... This goes ... to Obama looking at 325."

Cook:

"Once you get over 4-5 points, it's the tipping point. 6, it's landslide territory. We're at the tipping point, it's at the high end, headed over 300 electoral votes easily."

Todd:

"Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia are the ones to watch. If we're calling states for Obama before 8 pm, then it goes to Obama. .. in the first hour. ... Indiana in the first hour for McCain, and Va. too close to call, the longer it takes to call Virginia, the better it is for McCain.... Obama has the big advantage on the early voting."
