Election Night Notes

I'm going to post notes throughout the night, while I am near my computer. I'm going out for a while to watch the results over pizza and beer, but here's what's going on now.

McCain is projected to have won Kentucky. No surprise there. Obama has Vermont. Again, not a surprise. So far: Obama 3, McCain 8.

In the Senate, Lindsey Graham (R) and Mark Warner (D) are projected winners.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indiana, Ohio, and North Carolina are all still early to call.

Kay Hagan has a slight advantage over Liddy Dole in North Carolina. I hope Hagan can pull this one off.

Jay Rockefeller (D) keeps his Senate seat in West Virginia. So fars, the Democrats have a net gain of one seat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
McConnell (R), Chambliss (R), and Shaheen (D) are leading in their respective Senate races. If this holds, it will mean the net gain of another seat for the Democrats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
South Carolina has been called for McCain, as predicted. So far, there have been no surprises and no drama. We do get to watch McCain talk on a plane though, but we can't hear a word he is saying. It's kinda nice. Obama 3, McCain 16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obama has Pennsylvania! He also New Hampshire, Delaware, D.C., Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey. McCain gets Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Pennsylvania is a huge win for Obama. It was a blue state in '04, but we needed to keep it that way. Florida and Ohio are still too early to call. God, this is nerve-wracking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Texas, Mark Thompson is currently leading Republican incumbent Michael Williams for Railroad Commissioner. Maybe he will prove me wrong.

Ok, I'm going to go out for a while to calm my nerves... Go Obama!
