7:02 - This JUST IN! From CNN, black people prefer Obama, and white people prefer McCain
6:59 (LWJ) - Some insta calls coming when polls close at 7:00. 15 states and D.C. will close in 1 minute.
6:57 (LWJ) - Tonight is, in the end, is a night about Democrats. Yeah, it sucks that we had Bush in the White House for 8 years. But, man have the Democrats capitalized.
6:45 (LWJ) - Lieberman on MSNBC looking happy to be on McCain's plane. Hope he gets comfy in the back of the Senate.
6:43 - (LWJ) - According to exit polls, the late breakers went for Obama in North Carolina 62-35
6:37 - Democrat Jay Rockafeller will keep is Senate seat in West Virigina (MSNBC). BTW - does anyone else think he looks like Jim Boeheim?
6:36 - The news from electoralvote.com looks pretty good. Here's is the final map from today. Here is the final map from 4 years ago.
6:34 - (LWJ) Uh Oh! Chris Matthews is starting to drool about Obama.
6:34 Mom: Oh, dear
6:34 OS: There will be rioting in Chicago
6:34 Mom: What will happen if he loses?
6:32 Obama down 8 - 3, and my dad has pretty much given up on Barack.
6:26 - (LWJ) talingpointsmemo.com has some important exit polls. Remember, these are just exit polls, but the indications are good.
Georgia: McCain 50%, Obama 48%
Indiana: Obama 52%, McCain 46%
Virginia: Obama 54%, McCain 45%
6:21 - (LWJ) Lines of up to 6 hours reported in Chesapeake, VA. Don't want to say I called it. But, I called it.
6:15 - (LWJ) WOW. CNN just 'virtually' brought a reporter into the CNN election center. This is absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Wolf Blitzer it "talking" to someone who is 1,000 miles away, but we see them talking face-to-face through a 'hologram.' Terrible. I'm about to turn on Fox News.
6:11 - (OS) Another Presidential call: McCain will win South Carolina.
6:10 - (LWJ) Republican Lindsay Graham will keep his Senate seat in South Carolina (NBC).
6:05 - (LWJ) Democrat Mark Warner will be the Senator from Virginia (CNN). This is a pick up from the Republicans, but not a huge surprise. Warner has been up by huge margins throughout the race.
6:04 - (LWJ) Interesting looking at the exit polls in Indiana. For the question "Who Is In Touch With People Like You?" Obama won 45%-27%. That's crushing for McCain especially when the election is all about the economy.
6:00 - (LWJ) Our first calls. CNN says Obama in VT and McCain in KY.
5: 59 - (LWJ) Good evening! We are about to see history tonight. Either a black candidate will be elected for the first time or a woman will be elected on a major party ticket for the first time. A sitting senator will be elected for the first time since 1960. A candidate from somewhere other than the deep south or California will be elected for the first time since 1960 as well. No matter what, should be a fun night.

Voter Story #1:
So I accidentally cut infront of like 250 people today. I was registering to vote and asked some guy where I turn it in... Well the 85 year old worker led me to the front of the line and I cast my ballot infront of huge lines of people accidentally leaving behind one of my roommates. Quality stuff, I think I was still hungover from my Halloween Party. I just left him there to walk home from the church where we voted. Not as touching as the vote stories from earlier today but surely it cracked top 4 on the page. I got a call 35 minutes after I left from JB letting me know that I cut infront of half the city of Richfield.
Reporting from the trenches,

I have CNN on, your blog up, a Sam Adams sampler pack, and a half-empty bottle of Chardonay.
YES WE CAN!
