They waited way too long in '08. It was kind of laughable.

11 was the earliest it could have been called at. Media outlets will not call a state before voting has closed (they don't want to influence the results or discourage voting).

The better question: when will the Atlas reach a consensus on who won?

I imagine it will be called for Obama early if the exit polls and voter returns favor Obama in Ohio and/or Virginia. It will be called for Romney if he's looking good in PA or WI.
