NBC has called Kentucky for McCain and Vermont for Obama. I live in Vermont - the polls just closed at 7, how they can they call it already? (though I know for sure Planet Moonbat here would go for Obama).

On Fox New's main page, they have an interactive map of all the states that when you put your cursor over a state it gives you the total votes so far. Vermont has ZERO votes (none for anyone, not just THE Zero). How can you call a state (not that we'd expect Vermont to go Red) with zero votes so far?

Oh, now they're calling West Virginia for McCain with ZERO votes in.

South Carolina “too close to call”? B.S. - McCain will take South Carolina

It’s not looking good in IN. Vigo County went for Bush 52-46.

It’s going to Obama 56-42 with 90% reporting.

Bush won IN by 20% in 2004, so that's consistent with a 10% win for McCain.

Gilmore never had a chance from day one so it’s not exactly risky for them to call it for Warner as soon as the polls closed. Now it’s M.Warner/J.Webb in the Senate - pretty disgusting.

Team McCain said ignore the early exit polls because they must have a scientific idea as well.

==Rush said same thing—it is absolutely vital that west coast and mountain states VOTE regardless of what the TV or radio is telling them!!

I have no idea why they are watching Vigo County (Terre Haute) which is democrat. I don’t know why that county is a bellwether. It’s Evan Bayh’s home town.

Just how many electoral votes does John McCain need to win this thing?

I know Florida has different time zones but this year no mention has been made if the entire State will close at 7:00.

No, it’s not. That’s consistent with a dead-even race. (10% swing both ways)

According to Fox it sounds like the Obama camp isn’t thrilled with their NC numbers.

I've been hoping the Obamafolk have been reading their own literature and press releases rather than tuning in to reality.

Here's hoping...

The pleasure is all mine.

This portends to be an historic evening here on FR. There are PUMA’s onboard, old-timers from past battles, and a slew of newbies.

Hell, I lurked for over three years before I signed on, and now I hope and pray our Republic survives this election.

Let’s Roll.
