SocraticGadfly: NETWORKS CALL IT OBAMA

NETWORKS CALL IT OBAMA

And the "surge" is on!

Update 10:30 p.m. – In addition to the three West Coast states being called as soon as polls closed, Florida and Virginia have been called for Obama. Nevada now, too. Throw in Colorado, and he's over 330. Still has a shot at 350 EVs.

Obama takes the slightest of leads in Indiana. If anything refutes the Bradley effect, a possible Obama win in Indiana does.

McCain looks like he will pull out Missouri, and with enough of a lead to seriously tatter its "bellwether state" image.

North Carolina so close we could have a recount – 50-50 and just 5K votes to McCain's favor with 94 percent of precincts in, although Obama is pulling back ahead a bit.

Arizona now called for Obama.

Google News’ election page has detailed updates.

Or – look at the map.



Indiana still not called for – whom? The fact that it's not yet called for McCain reinforces that Obama has indeed won Ohio. North Carolina still not called.

Speaking of that, Google returns to date have Colorado Obama +10 with 10 percent in on precincts. Looks good. 8:55 Central – Rocky Mountain News calling Colorado for Obama.

This is history-making. Even though I didn't vote for Obama, but a candidate attempting to make double-groundbreaking history in Cynthia McKinney, I'm still choked up.
