Teeny-tiny lead for Obama now in Virginia on NBC. It'll probably flip-flop all night - within a percent or two. Should go down to the wire there.

There's still time for a major screw up there.

Matthews says: With Shays defeat, no more GOP representation in the House from New England. None. Zero.

He blames Palin.

The headlines are coming in now, not good for McCain.

Barack Obama takes Ohio, has clear path to victory over John McCain

Yeah, Palin's daughter should have done the right thing and got her ass back to school and made something of herself.

Tina Fey is probably glad that she can retire her Palin outfit, despite Caribou Barbie's prediction that she's going to need it after today.

Yes but the Orlando area is one of the more progressive in FL.

But look at the south east FL area, they are not so progressive and still went for Obama. In other words, Obama took FL, they are just recounting to make sure, and then recounting once more.

And yet Bush still won it. I think that's what Todd just said.

But I'm pretty buzzed right now.

Not to rehash the past really, but that is in dispute, I don't think he won it.
