You're right, AP projects Virginia going toward Clinton. That's what happens when you leave CNN's Situation Room for ten minutes.

yeah florida is trumps...
Thats been a feature of Australian commentary , but the consensus is that the machinery of Govt is pretty much self protected, the only area that the POTUS has any real sway over is foreign policy. But the day to day running of the country is the province of the established bureaucracy

They're wrong, as a standing US president can launch at their sole discretion.
Yeah but there are far more insane people with nukes who havent pushed that big red button, thats the nature of the nuke, once you get it you cant use it its just too big of a bang

As per BBC
Asian stocks have tumbled after early results from the US presidential polls suggested a victory for Donald Trump looked more plausible.
All major markets in the region are now lower, with money flowing into safe haven stocks, gold and currencies including the yen.
Meanwhile the Mexican Peso has hit an all-time low against the dollar.
As traders had expected a comfortable Hillary Clinton win, even a tight race is enough to spark volatility.
Japan's Nikkei 225 is down by 2.2% while theHang Seng in Hong Kong is 3.5% lower and theShanghai Composite has lost 1.3%.
Australia's ASX 200 dropped by 3.7% while the Kospi in South Korea is 2.8% lower.
Earlier, Wall Street and European markets closed higher - but are currently predicted to fall sharply when trading resumes.

Yeah, but as someone who has worked with Australian stock brokers and merchant banks and Forex traders i can tell you thats par for course.
You pull your money out in volatility, and then put it back later.
I always laugh when the press reports billions "lost" in a crash. It isnt lost its just somewhere else

Other than Trump, I haven't heard of anyone else say..., "why have nukes if you're not going to use them"?
