Technically speaking, Barack Obama is the president until next year. But, it would be interesting to know more about sites like this one -- how they poll realtime data, which sources they trust, etc.

Just calling the election based on "right now" is just for political adrenaline junkies. YMMV.

Given that the process is still unfolding, a single page site around a single, albeit moving, data point is slightly amusing. However, I fail to any other point to it.

Vague to say the least given the counting process. Obama has clearly won already by taking Florida.

Depends on Iowa and Nevada, but yes it's unlikely that Obama loses.

Press refresh several times. It will cycle between the presidents, even though the number of electoral votes do not change.

Maybe they fixed the bug in between the time you posted this and when I tried it. It never changed for me, even after numerous refreshes (refreshi?).
