@realjohnboy,
Very good news!

I didnt really doubt that he'd take it, but it was sort of McCain's last chance. Without taking over a blue state, he's just down to having to win AND virginia AND ohio AND florida AND colorado AND nevada

@Setanta,
They said they do a combo -- they look at both exit polls and compare to a count. That's why they're not calling PA (inconclusive by their reasoning) but they did factor in exit polls for the states they've called. (Otherwise those states couldn't be called until way more actual votes were in.)

Interesting stuff on CNN (TV) right now about how Obama is outperforming Kerry in Indiana...

Lake County (Gary) always reports its results very late -- this year appears to be no exception. If Obama is trailing McCain by the same 2% that he is trailing right now in the downstate counties, Lake County can put him over the top.

BREAKING: NPR calls the NC senate race for Kay Hagan (D)!

All the websites with official results coming in - the websites of the different states' election divisions, secretary of state, ettc - seem to be totally overloaded... almost impossible to refresh.

Interesting story from Virginia at the CNN site:

Virginia investigates alleged suppression
Posted: 08:03 PM ET

From CNN Senior Producer Mike Mount

WASHINGTON (CNN) " At least three cases of possible voter suppression at election sites around Virginia will be investigated by state police, according to Virginia election officials.

The cases were reported in the city of Richmond, Fairfax County and Fauquier County, according to Nancy Rodrigues, Virginia's executive secretary of the Board of Elections.

In once case she said the "over presentation of law enforcement" at one polling location was called in. In another case someone was playing a recording of right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh loud enough to violate the no campaigning within 300 feet of a voting location.

"We are working very closely with local and state police to investigate these allegations," Rodrigues said during a press conference in Richmond Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the election board said they could not say what the third incident was and could not comment further on the cases, only saying that investigations are underway on all three incidents.
