First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[pnz1]

The Panhandle is also where some of the military bases are (Pensacola, Tindall, etc.)?

Track the FL numbers at http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/

ignore the media reported number, they always report the liberal counties first.

Thank you..that makes me feel a little better about Florida.

[Round 9]

Florida’s only 4% reporting. Relax. Certainly there are large cities and many precincte that will go for Obama. If it was 50% then you could worry.

The Florida vote started the exact same way in 2000 and 2004. Not sweating it.

Miami-Dade went 53-46 for Kerry in 2004. A lot of the counted votes are from Miami-Dade so far, where Obama has a 60/40 lead with almost 500k votes counted.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

54-44 mccain in allen county, 51-48 in the State of Indiana, McCain up..

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

OH and PA haven’t reported in yet - tweetty birds off his rocker.

[Shelayne]

Ugh. Paper BAG.

I’ve just been watching the BBC coverage of the US election here in the UK. I’ve had to turn it off. I have never, EVER, seen anything so blatantly biased in all of my days. I am truly shocked. I always naively believed that the BBC had some commitment to objectivity, especially when covering a foreign election but....words fail me. Absolutely disgraceful.

[snarkytart]

Calm down until we see what happens.

I love MN. Have a very dear friend that lives in the St.Paul area. Nice folks up that way. I have no idea why people vote the way they do.

In IL, you have the more conservative middle part of the state, then the cesspool known as Chicago which effectively neutralizes any good the rest of the state can do.

I remember camping the live thread for the 2006 Senate race here, refreshing the state website every minute to try and see if George Allen could hang on or if Born Idiot was going to pull it out thanks to Northern Virginia. We all know how that turned out. Virginia will be interesting. Will the heavy military presence in Tidewater balance the Obamorons in the DC ‘burbs? And watch the turnout in the precincts in the inner cities, especially Richmond and Norfolk. Those are Rat goldmines for votes, some of them in Richmond (areas with housing projects) went 90% for Webb.

PREDICTION: The military vote, especially in the Va. Beach, Hampton Roads Tidewater area will go solidly for McCain...it went for Webb as most considered him one of them while the military didn't consider the same for "Macaca" Allen.

[StarFan]

In essence, Florida closes at 8:00PM East Coast Elitist Time.

Yup and it was just confirmed by FNC that the panhandle doesn't close until 8:00 so we shouldn't be discouraged by the numbers yet.

[sausageseller]

When posting please posts Numbers with %’s.

Lets stop with the confusing numbers

[Fester Chugabrew]

. . .I intend to wear a paper bar over my head.

Try a paper bag instead, and put it on Franken's head.

Simply cannot listen to the teevee

Roger that!

I know, it’s the New York Times.
But, it breaks it county down and you can compare it with 2000 and 2004.
Please, McCain Palin 08!
