The calls are a combination of returns and exit polls. So if the polls indicate a wide margin of victory, they'll call it even if the early returns show the opposite.

And for that reason, I'm not worried about Virginia yet because there's not much votes in yet, and I have no idea which areas have reported (which is huge because Virginia is polarized).

I'm drinking a Delaware craft brew tonight as a good luck charm: Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.


I was hoping to get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. That's why I am concerned. :twisted:

Ken Blackwell was just on MSNBC. Can't throw the election this year Ken.

Obama wins PA. That's a big win. McCain's job just got harder.

CNN apparently hasn't called PA yet. Has MSNBC stepped on their dicks? Stay tuned.

NBC is giving a PA exit poll breakdown now. Very interesting.

I know I feel like I'm 25min. behind everyone on the curve here. I'd better put a coat hanger on my TV and see what I can get. LOL!

I have to admit that I'm mesmerized by John King and the Magic Board.

Still no numbers coming out of Ohio yet. Are any polls still open there? I know we had late closures in 2004.
