Two Dem pickups in the Senate so far.

They are in the locked back room counting and recounting still. :o

Ahhh...Kos' board shows Obama leading in Ohio 67%-32%.

TPMs board is still showing the same stuff from about a half hour ago.

Excellent. Can't remember the last time I was as proud to be a Pennsylvanian.

I think TPM's fancy map blew up.

CNN has been reporting some numbers from Ohio, with Obama having a huge lead. However, it's only like 0.5% of the precincts.

Elizabeth Dole bites the dust. Good riddance.

I see CNN is only showing 77 to MSNBC's 103. Outside of PA, what else has CNN not called for Obama?

I'm watching MSNBC, and they're showing how fucked up Florida's ballots STILL are. They're unspeakably ridiculous and unusable -- you have to "complete an arrow" or something instead of just filling in a circle.

They'll never learn.
