(CNN) – Barack Obama is set to win seven states and the District of Columbia as polls close at 8 p.m., CNN projects, based on exit polls.

The Democratic candidate is on pace to beat Republican John McCain in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, his home state of Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey. CNN projects he will also win three of the four electoral votes in Maine, which splits its electoral votes proportionally.

That would give him 77 electoral votes to McCain's 34. A candidate needs 270 to win the White House.

the united states can't take 4 more years of a republican president. . . .think of what we went through the past 4 or 5 months with GAS and FOOD skyrocketing not to mention FORECLOSURES and LOSS OF JOBS. . .. .until you've had to struggle to take care a family off of 70,000 or less then no one knows, especially the weathy, of what it means to struggle. . . .

Me   November 4th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

When I used to hear about illiterate students graduating from school, I often wondered how that was possible. But after encountering some of Mr. Barack Obama's more anal-retentive obiter dicta, I now realize that not only is it possible for people to graduate without having learned fundamental skills such as reading and writing, but that it's possible for these same people to believe that space gods arriving in flying saucers will save humanity from self-destruction. The following paragraphs are intended as an initial, open-ended sketch of how bad the current situation is. Everywhere he's gone, Mr. Obama has tried to hijack the word "antiprestidigitation" and use it to pit the haves against the have-nots. It can happen here, too. He would have us believe that coercion in the name of liberty is a valid use of state power. Not surprisingly, his evidence for that completely sinister claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, he has a checkered track record for accuracy. I contend it would be more accurate for Mr. Obama to say that he has recently been going around claiming that his pronouncements are Holy Writ. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. This letter has gone on far too long in my opinion and probably yours as well. So let me end it by saying merely that unlike Mr. Barack Obama's schemes, my own perorations are not vague and undefined.

Do these projected wins for either candidate include the early voting and absentee numbers?

How could CNN predict without these? In my opinion they put absentee voting in the overall calculation although their data could only be based on exit polls.

Pay attention west coasters. These projections may help you undecided voters determine who to vote for!

We're a little less stressed in Europe, the moron (GOP) vote seems less worrying this election.

I know Republicans hate everyone (America and the world) and themselves so they will just spit bile at this remark, however speaking as a European who loves America I'm looking forward to my fellow Europeans liking America again.
