    I agree, then it becomes a game of watching the Senate. With McConnell surviving, Georgia and Minnesota become the games to watch.

    I think Obama might be better positioned in North Carolina than Virginia. My gut says he'll win both of them narrowly.

    Fox is saying they aren't calling PA for O because they don't have any real vote and exit poll error numbers in yet.

    The BBC is reporting that 6 out of 10 voters said the economy was the deciding factor.

    Guessing McCain's deeply regretting not brushing up on econ 101 right about now :marathon:

    Earlier tonight CNN had 62% saying the economy, 10% saying Iraq, 9% saying terrorism, 9% saying health care, and Obama won all those groups except terrorism.

    Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William are the ones to watch in NoVa. They're the three big ones.

    MSNBC is reporting that Palm Beach, FL has FUBAR'd ballots again. (You were supposed to make an "arrow" on your ballot to indicate who you wanted. :rolleyes: )

    No big surprise there, McCain really needed a running mate who could run with the economy. McCain fought most of Obama's battles for him in that regard.

    North Carolina is the biggest surprise so far. Hagan and Obama are rolling at the moment.

    PA is called. IN and FL look pretty clear for Obama. OH, VA, and NC are looking good for Obama, I'd say she's over.

    Bruce Lunsford continues to hang tough in Kentucky. He's down only 6,000 with half of the precincts in.
