Marion county turned out 314,000 in 2004 with a 51-49 Kerry margin. Have they turned out an additional 15% with a 2-1 lead for Obama? Sure, it’s possible. It’s convenient how that’s the last major county not reporting.

I thought Marion County was much more skewed toward Dem's in 2004 (not the state). I'll take your word. If so that would be :
2004 Dems --153,860 to Reps -- 160,140
Projected from
CNN is a total vote count of 368,734
2008 Dems --237,275 to Reps -- 131,459.
Yes, that's a big swing and a pretty good increase in total votes for Marion County. Interesting.
Do you have a 2004 vote count for Lake County as a comparison? They are heavily democrat.
