Hope the results in Indiana are early votes.

Rural precincts are not going heavy enough for Mac to overcome the big city rat vote.

Part of our state (IN) polls closed at 6 pm and some close at 7 pm CST

Mac is behind in fla by 8 points at 730

Mac is up in IN so far, the big thing is later when Lake County is added in—Lake County contains Gary.

Anecdotal upbeat note - Hammond is my hometown, extreme NW corner of Indiana in Lake County. Unfortunately, my own mother is voting Obama, but a lot of other diehard Dem family members refuse to vote for him. These people have NEVER voted for a Republican in their lives.

[Truthsearcher]

I show him up by 7.4% in FL right now.

[Armedanddangerous]

who ? Obama?

[Armedanddangerous]

Sorry brother, I’m just nervous like I drank ten red bulls.

[LegalEagle61]

Really??? I am in South Hammond. My neighbor, lifelong Dem voting McCain. Hates Obama. Also, remember those worried about FL, it is very early and FL is big.

[FloridianBushFan]

Please remember Florida’s last poll does not close till 8 PM EST ( 7PM CT).

[spacejunkie01]

polls don’t close in FLA til 8pm...maybe early votes counted?

[Koblenz]

Yikes. Michael Barone was just on Fox. Said McCain is running 10 points behind in Indiana from Bush in suburban counties. Not really running behind in rural places. Same story in VA. If this holds naitonally, not good. We can’t lose 10 points in the suburbs and still win this thing.

[dirtbiker]

I have no idea where he heard that, but the official VA website has McCain up 56-43% with 12% of the precincts reporting....

Best to watch Fox with the sound off, these idiots are making comments and the votes aren’t even in yet, I wish Sean and Greta were doing this-—I am done with Brit. SOUND OFF

I'm not watching TV at all..these idiots are driving me nuts.

I got FreeRepublic up and all the electoral maps....and....(believe it or not) one of the PUMA websites. And those PUMA's love this country...I'm still scratching my head.

If you would have told me a year ago that Republicans and Democrats are working hand in hand to get a Republican elected for the BEST of America, I would have laughed. Miracles do happen.

I live in PA now, but mom lives in North Hammond and relatives in the Whiting area.

There are Republican areas of Lake County - Griffith, Highland, Munster, Schererville, Crown Point - it's not all Gary, folks!
