"Dare to Dream:" Election 2008 Live Blog

I understand most people will be doing their own thing tonight, so I don't expect billions of visitors, but I plan on updating this at a decent clip as the evening progresses. Kyle is at some Democrat elite gathering, so it may just be me. If he wants to chime in, that is fine too. Plan on things getting started right before 7. Of course, if things start going terrible for Republicans, this will be cut short. I have better things to do than subject myself to a night of misery, let alone type about it.
11:31: That might be it for me now. I will probably stay awake to see what happens with the other states and races, but I have no spirit left to write about.
11:13: Ohio is creeping much closer, not that it matters a whole lot now.
11:06: Wow., does PA not even look that close.
10:59: Will be over in a minute.
10:35: Franken up 3%, 12% in.
10:29: Just had a cordial call with Kyle where I told him congrats. I remembered the bad feeling he had in 2004.
10:05: Wicker wins in MS. No 60 for Dems. It's something.
9:40: So this is how it feels. I'll tell you, not very good. I am a glutton for punishment, so I'll hang around. At least the Phillies won for me.
9:28: Don't know how much more I will have in me tonight.
9:19: FOX Says Ohio for Obama.
9:15: McCain down to +1 in VA. Not good.
9:00: First Bush state falls, NM. I see FOX calls for Ohio for Obama. Hmmm. COREECTION: They did not. 183-81.
8:47: Florida tightening..we'll see if it is enough.
8:35: VA looking decent for McCain..that is about it.
8:27: Sununu down to defeat in NH. That hurts.
8:10: Nervous about Florida. McConnell wins. Heard NBC/ABC called PA for Obama.
8:02: 77-39 Obama after the 8PM closings.
7:53: I'll say it again. I dont have faith in PA. Look for the first #s to be from cities, they usually are.
7:46: McConnell looking better….early reports from FL are mostly Obama areas.
7:30: McCain wins WV. Ohio shockingly too close to call. NC as well….McCain will win there, pretty confident about that.
7:22: I think McCain needs to win IN by 4-5% otherwise it could be a long night.
7:12: McConnell is going to come back and win right?
7:04: 8-3. We are winning!
6:51: Well, here we go. Fox News on one TV, NBC (not MSNBC) on the other. I'll be doing this on my new laptop, my old laptop is right here where I will be following specifically: NH, NM Senate, OH-15, 16, 13, PA-12, and VA, OH, PA, IN President.

I'll be hanging around having a few beers…
I can't do the "party" thing…I need my computer and cable TV.
Same here. I couldnt go somewhere with laptop and TV
Have you found a decent live map somewhere?
I was looking at yahoo's but its not as up to date as what they have on cable…
Tim, MSNBC has a nice live map. I think most of the major news sites will have one.
I'm looking at the NY Times one now – it lets you zoom in to the counties…
Cnn's is pretty good
We have our AP map up now on Ohio.com. Kind of nice, but I don't know how quick it's updating yet.
Ben, thoughts on McCain easily taking the politics.ohio.com poll?
Ben voted 63 times….
j/k
Smart readers.
this site is refreshing really slow for me…
Seems to be okay for me so far. I remember in 2004 at like midnight the web was crashed pretty much
People keep saying the Obama might have wasted a bunch of money just to close the gap but still lose some red states.
I think it was worth it though because it will help down ticket.
Ben, your boy Blackwell is being interviewed on MSNBC.
He had money to burn…so from that standpoint not an issue
PA!
Indiana is really close with 27%. That is good news.
Also, only TV media here is Dutch.
Issue us 6 is losing and 5 is winning, thank god.
Tim, great call on the NY Times map. It is by far the best one I have found.
I like the county bubbles feature.
The Ohio Secretary of State site is pretty good. Auto-updates…
Dole went down! Nice!
Boccieri is leading in the 16th…
I'm worried about Virginia. McCain's margin seems higher than I would like to see. My hope is it is the typical scenario where the more populated areas haven't reported yet.
VA looking good for us…..thats about all right now
Yeah – maybe only "real" Virginia is reporting so far…
Only 2% in Fairfax County Virginia…isn't that a huge Dem area?
CNN called PA for Obama. No surprise there.
Judge Spicer getting beat with current totals that show other Republicans ahead.
It looks like we could win Florida and Ohio early and chalk up the win.
Mississippi is close. That is my sleeper pick. I say Obama takes it.
if it is true that obama has won Pa. the is quess it is time for me to go to bed
I'm done on the computer and going to celebrate. Congrats fellow Democrats.
This year its the economy and the Democrats. But as we all know, the country swings from Democrats to Republicans in cycles. Let's see where we are in 2 years.
Ben – We have to lose sometimes. It isn't the end of the world. We fought the good fight.
Four more years of war is peace, ignorance is strength, and slavery is freedom!
Four more years, may all your interventions be humanitarian!
Four more years of pay-to-play politics, power, and influence!
Four more years of legalized bribery and served corporate interests!
Booyah!
Iquess the old saying "we get what we deserve" may be true.—–Murtha wins in a landslide
First off he is not the first American of African decent president, he is the first Bi-Rascial President. Half Black Half White.
