CNN: Vermont-Obama (3 EV); Kentucky-McCain (8 EV)

[Gondring]

CNN calling two states as polls close.

"All the polls are closed in VT."

Isn't that just to Republicans and Libertarians?

[Jen from Tn.]

what’s the deal in Indiana?

agreed - they could have called these 2 states yesterday.

[CPC24]

“Obama Bin Biden, you’re my only hope!”

[Theophilus]

I call shenanigans on Vermont. How can they call it with no results in? They are just trying to balance the KY news.

Bush won Indiana by more than 20% in 2004. So not sure what’s up with that. Maybe they only counted the blue counties?

But the states called do not include Indiana.

Sometimes the exit polls can be relied on. These 2 states were known quantities, so when the exit polls showed what was already expected it was a safe call.

Now if they start calling states that appeared to be close just as they close, or calling states in the opposite direction of what seemed to be likely, then I’ll get alarmed.

Well, the RCP average is only a 1.4 point advantage for McCain, with Obama ahead in some polls.

McCain gets another 5 EV for West Virginia

[Straight Vermonter]

Nah, all three of us were allowed to vote.

Actually I think those CNN holograms are totally cool.

Good question, it seems more people are voting for O than previously thought possible.
