ABC News: PA, DC, IL, NJ, MD, DE, MA, CT, ME and NH go to Obama

I really think PA is going to end up being much closer than a lot of these states that aren't getting called (in a rerun of 4 years ago)

MSNBC says PA for Obama as well.

It must've been a thrashing to call it 12 seconds after polls close.

McCain gets Tennessee and Oklahoma

They called it pretty much right away four years ago, and it ended up as close as Ohio was the other way.

I've received 5 robocalls urging me to vote for him in the past two days (one each from Cindy McCain, John himself, Rudy 9/11, Sarah Palin, and some random person). Two of these were in the past 15 minutes telling me that polls are still open. Look at my location--that should tell you something. I've already voted for Obama, by the way.

Out of curiousity, have you supported McCain in his Senate races?

I didn't live here during his most recent Senate race. Actually, something like 20% of Arizona voters moved into the state since his last Senate campaign.

CNN still has PA as too close to call.

I thought they said that they just didn't have any vote totals yet.

Neither did the other channels who had already called it for O.

Indeed. They called it off of the shitty exit polls I was bitching about earlier.

I'm watching CNN just because they seem to be erring on the side of caution. Accuracy over expediency.

I'm leaning towards CNN right now since their stuff is usually the most in-depth.

nbc seems to play fast and loose with their projections.

fox is gonna be as conservative as possible, so as to make mccain look a little better.

i don't really bother with any of the other channels.

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:15:27

CNN is the best.

by **kimbatiste** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:16:38

MSNBC calling NH for Shaheen. That's two pickups so far I believe (Warner in VA).

by **CFP** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:16:54

CNN should really just be Cooper, Gergen, and King rotating talking for the entire night, but they have like 30000 other people.

by **kimbatiste** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:19:38

Florida tallys are coming in fast and look to be tightening.

by **kimbatiste** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:23:05

Anyone know a good place to get results for PA state senate?

by **kimbatiste** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 21:26:15

538 calls NC for Hagan, which would be the third pickup.
