Fox guy in Ohio says they won't have any new hard numbers for two hours and Ohio is telling the network it's going to go into the wee hours of the morning.

The WPE (within precinct error) state was Virginia. They're saying 10.46 margin of error between the exit polls and the actual vote for Obama. 3.90 in Florida.

Yeah, VA doesn't look quite so bad anymore. We might actually win it.

Interesting. Fox is explaining why they changed their mind on PA (goign from saying too close to call to calling it). The WPE's came in, and even once you adjusted the exit polls for WPE, Obama was still in the lead.

I love this stuff.

OK, but votes still haven't come in there yet. I dunno. I mean, Obama is going to win, but nothing that has happened so far tonight, except maybe Obama in Orange County, FL, has made me feel any more confident of that fact that earlier today.

I don't know about CNN, but the local stations have had numbers out and it's looking fairly substantial, even including rural counties. 65% for Barry last I saw.

i just love when it turns 8 or 9 and they immediately call a state that just closed polls

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 22:01:13

Wow, they called North Dakota for us on CNN

by **CFP** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 22:01:20

They're really calling North Dakota already?

by **VoxOrion** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 22:02:06

Obama picks up NM at least, I'm missing some of the others.

Fox calls Ohio for Obama -- ooops, they just uncalled it.

Calling Indiana too close.

I was really surprised about that as well.

Did they call Texas for McCain?

I think Fox just called Ohio for Obama.

by **kimbatiste** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 22:20:44

CNN is projecting McConnell to survive. Chin implants for everyone!!!
