First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[boughtwithaprice]

McCain’s almost 3% ahead in IN, with well over half the votes in. Don’t give up hope yet! :)

[sopwith]

Was that a 3 fer.

[NinoFan]

IN currently has McCain up by 7, so yes, it’s certainly possible for him to win there. The reasonable thing to do is to wait and see how things go as more results come in. You’re being way too negative.

[petercooper]

IN

M-51%
O-48%

with 57% precincts reporting

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

Course not. But we were right, those polls were manufactured to create an allure of an unstoppable O win...unfortunately though, we are learning that that tactic works. People need to vote, no matter what, polls be damned, and then we wouldn’t have this crap going on.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes. I saw it in this photo. It's an animation.

Michael Barone explained the mathematical reason for the call and stands behind it. It has to do with exit polling error comparison to the actual vote count which they’re getting from the precincts before the tallies are actually started for the state.

So, I don’t know. Barone is the best, so most likely he’s right.

[tj21807]

I agree with you, we have a snowballs chance in hell right now.

We need to keep both CO and IA (very unlikely)

or convert MN (hell has frozen over)

All Hail Overlord President Obama......

Looks like it’s a trip to the gun store tomorrow....

[SoCalPol]

Palin is the new face of the GOP.

But face it, with a Boma win, this is the last free election.

[Diogenesis]

Welcome to FR. Let your fear pass through you. The night is early, and you are getting caught in a psy-op.

[retrokitten]

LMAO

See my last post- Time To Make the Donuts guy’s sleazy brother, but gay Hitler is good, too.

[who knows what evil?]

He said he is going to get shirts made with the flag upside down.

That could be a big seller...of course; he'll want to keep sales/profits under $42,000 or so. :-)

[JFC]

WE can’t really be suprised by these results. Media has done everything in their power to elect Obama.

Feel good if you live in a RED STATE. If you don’t then get to work for the Republican party and look ahead in 2 years for the next election.

[MinorityRepublican]

McCain’s almost 3% ahead in IN, with well over half the votes in. Don’t give up hope yet! :)

Fine we win Indiana. What about Ohio? What about Florida? What about North Carolina? There's just too many holes in the dike right now.

Why don't you just post the important part!?

Thanks. Made me laugh.

[TheRiverNile]

People are not focusing on actual facts. Nobody here would be willing to bet even money on a McCain victory. That said, I would quickly bet on McCain getting 5 to 1.

The point is, the only thing being projected that is of significance is Pennsylvania....and I only see 5% reporting with Pittsburgh being a part of that.
