AFF Election Night Thread...
Ok folks. We've had all these pre-election threads, thoughts, opinions, etc.
So here on this thread those of us keeping watch on things can can post running updates and commentary regarding Election Night developments, as they unfold. Starting off: Matt Drudge's early report: EXIT POLLS CLAIM 'OBAMA +15' IN PA... DEVELOPING... If this is true and McCain loses PA.. he's gonna be quickly running out of states he can take to make the 270 electoral votes he'll need. But I guess it's good he's close in Fl and OH. If he can somehow take those, he'll have a chance, slim as it might look right now. |

McCain leading 50-49% in Indiana. Still early though.
CNN's only projecting 2 states so far; Kentucky for McCain, Vermont for Obama. No surprises there so far. A lot of these polls just closed a few minutes ago (7pm eastern) , so we should be getting some numbers in those states within the hour. |

State of Virginia too close to call.

Re: AFF Election Night Thread...
Indiana shouldn't be 'too close to call' at this point. It should be in the bag for Reds.
MSNBC projecting 261-174 for the Dems in the House. HUGE turnout in PA in black precincts. Not good news for the Reds. |
Re: AFF Election Night Thread...
I think Virginia is where McCain has to hang his hat right now. If the polls turn out right in PA, McCAin must win Virginia.
Pollster.com is a really interesting site with up to the minute reports. The very earliest exit polls which tend to overstate for Democrats and are the most inaccurate this early, have Obama up by 10% nationally, 54% to 44% for McCain. To put that in perspective at this point in 2004 they had Kerry up by 3%. |
Re: AFF Election Night Thread...
Does anyone have any sedatives I could borrow????? :ouch

Re: AFF Election Night Thread...
It's kind of amusing to watch the coverage. Everybody on FOX is somber, serious, and seem pretty down. Perhaps St. Mark can ask them for some sedatives. :) Then if you switch over to MSNBC it's happy times and everybody is jovial and in a good mood. Who says FOX is fair and balanced? haha.

We have people at work taking off tomorrow because they plan on partying late into the night! I just hope they don't go nuts and do damage.
