    CNN projects South Carolina for McCain even he's currently losing to Obama after 1%

    Happened all the time in the primaries, they sample key counties and project. And they only do it if it's a landslide naturally.

    Ok, wtf?

    On the NY times count - 12% counted and Obama's ahead by FIFTEEN points in Florida? I assume that's the result of early voting, but even so, it looks like slaughter territory for McCain.

    They're not projecting Alabama! Mississippi! Unbelievable.

    The early voting gets called along with everything else, so there's no reason to believe that the data would be factored in.

    In South Carolina more black people voted for Obama (percentage-wise) than Democrats!

    From TPM:

    Obama Wins Pennsylvania, Networks Say
    By Greg Sargent - November 4, 2008, 8:00PM

    MSNBC and ABC call McCain's "last stand" state for Obama.

    That's a very early call, suggesting a big, big win.

    More soon.

    The Guardian has a nice Flash graphic on the front page. Roll over individual states for percentage of the count so far, and how it's splitting between the candidates

    MSNB[C] calls Penssylvania for Obama. Aaaaand... it's over people. The rest is just jollity and drinking.

    Some of us may have been drinking early (just to calm the nerves)

    can I just intimate again that that Rachel Maddow is a classy lady.

    still an appalling lack on the hologram front but they seem quicker than most on the prediction finger.
