No, but at 11 PM EST. I've already stated this but anybody who thinks that it will be called before the west coast closing hasn't thought it out or thinks (delusionally) that there will be a 35+ state landslide for Clinton.

It doesn't have to be a landslide.

CNN projected the 2012 race at 11:18 PM (when they projected Ohio). And that race was closer than this one, so it's not such a stretch to believe that it could be called 18 minutes sooner.

Its not about how close it is, rather how the poll closings are structured. The west coast just gives so many electoral votes for the Democrats that its hard for them to win before that.

It also depends on the definition of a landslide. Check out this map by 270towin.com. All of the states Obama won + North Carolina + NE-02 would have to be called before 11 PM. That almost certainly would mean states like Georgia, Missouri, and Arizona are too close to call. Not a landslide?
