Not that we should be getting into the analysis here, but I'm disappointed by how aggressive USA Today has been with their "calls". While both CNN and Fox have held PA at undetermined, USA Today had us leaning blue and now called red. Their aggressiveness is causing them to flip-flop and that is what got the media in trouble in 2000.

I'm comparing nationwide polls to nationwide popular vote. Anything more details is too much like work.

And before calling it too early, if the Trump margin in PA is less than 0.5%, a recount will be triggered. If AZ and MI break for Clinton, she could still win. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Asian stock markets are flattening. The Nikkei is down 5% and the Hang Seng is down 3%.

With the disgusting chants of "lock her up" coming from theTrump camp and the good night from the Clinton Camp. This is over.
