CNN calls Virginia Senate race for Democrat Mark Warner, a pickup on the blue side....
Fox Noise calls West Virginia for McCain...

Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, just said on Fox that results so far appear consistent with pre-election polling. Coming from Bill Kristol, this is interesting  |

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
Also on Faux News, Karl Rove himself is calling Florida for Obama....
Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, DC, Massachusetts, Maryland and Delaware all being called for Obama.
Oklahoma, Tennesee and So. Carolina going to McCain....
Washington DC is the only place in America where people put bumper stickers on their cars the day *after* the election,

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
It's 1.20am here, and I have work tomorrow. I'll watch a bit further - I'm a numbers junkie 
My Lady went to bed a while back. She's never understood why I like Americans so much, but I asked her, just for once, to say something nice about y'all.
Her reply was a little bit kind, but with her trademark "edge": I hope they get the president they need, not the one they deserve.
I wonder which one she meant? |

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
Ooooof: MSNBC and ABC are both calling Pennsylvania for Obama. This was a must-win state for McCain and that's why he spent 80% of his time there in the last 2 weeks....
More Republican Vote suppression follies are failing:

The officials were reportedly challenging voters with information obtained through party affiliation reports, which is not one of the accepted challenges such as a person's address, age or lack of ID.
"We were disappointed to hear of the incident regarding these two workers. The Marion County Republican Party was not aware of these alleged activities, nor did the Party instruct any worker to engage in such behavior," Marion County Republican Party Chairman Tom John said in a statement issued at 2 p.m.

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
First huge upset of the evening: Democrat Kay Hagen beats incumbent Liddy Dole in North Carolina Senate race according to NBC.
Dole (wife of former presidential candidate Bob Dole who lost to Bill Clinton), plastered the airwaves with ads calling Hagen "godless":
After this ad started running, Dole's poll numbers started to dive...
This is probably the election where the dictum "negative political ads work" hit the wall....
An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry,
