aIndiana just flipped again

GrantDawg 11-04-2008 06:13 PM

Pat Buchannon just compared Obama to FDR, and this might be that big a shift for the Democratic party. Strange.

He currently has a two point lead based on voted entirely culled from rural counties, all of which are voting way (5-10%) down from what they did for Bush in '04... just wait until Marion/Lake county starts to trickle in.

Tigercat 11-04-2008 06:14 PM

If Obama can stay within 2 in Indiana, it means it is very likely tonight will break like the polls predicted.

Tigercat 11-04-2008 06:16 PM

Ha, CNN going all Jedi ghost hologram with its reporters.

ISiddiqui 11-04-2008 06:16 PM

Did CNN just "beam" a correspondent in? WTF?!

Lathum 11-04-2008 06:18 PM

thats pretty sweet

The big thing is to see what counties are reporting.

hxxp://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#mapPIN

Marion and Lake counties are typically both big Democratic counties and neither county has reported any results. St. Joseph county (South Bend area) is also a democratic county by Indiana standards, but I heard on TV that Bush won the county by one or two percent in 2004. Right now Obama is up 64% to 35% with a third of the precincts reporting.

Alan T 11-04-2008 06:18 PM

MSNBC's night coverage is a good bit more biased liberally than their coverage was for the most of the day. Not sure how much longer I can tolerate this station tonight.

What, having a reporter in the same shot as the studio isn't worth setting up a tent for three weeks and a handful of ungodly expensive cameras?

CNN.com Election 2004

I've been going back and forth with the '04 map results in comparison to this years, and I have to say, its looking very good for Obama in Indiana right now.

And it looks worse than in Star Wars.

JediKooter 11-04-2008 06:27 PM

Star Wars did set the bar pretty high.

Fox just called West Virginia for McCain...

Alan T 11-04-2008 06:31 PM

Sorry, just wanted post 10,000 in this thread.

To make it political.... McCain with the early 8-3 lead going into the 2nd inning, but the Democrats have the middle of the lineup up in the next inning.

Karlifornia 11-04-2008 06:31 PM

Interesting to see how red Indiana was in 2004 compared to the results so far. Looking promising for Obama.

JeeberD 11-04-2008 06:31 PM

Dola-

So far Virginia and Florida are looking good for McCain as well...

CNN is showing Florida early Obama 48 McCain 34. What happened to the other 18%? Pat Buchannon.

JeeberD 11-04-2008 06:33 PM

Yeah, but you got the 10,000th reply, Karl.

Good call. One Shiner Bock for you.

Lathum 11-04-2008 06:35 PM

how are there almost 1 million votes from Florida yet they are reporting only 2% of precincts hace reported in.

JeeberD 11-04-2008 06:35 PM

Let me tell you, I barely watched any TV in my week in Florida last week due to all the damned political ads...

That's essentially the Miami-Dade votes coming in. Would love to see how the rest of the State falls.

Raiders Army 11-04-2008 06:40 PM

I can picture a bunch of FOFCers with boners watching the TV, while other FOFCers sit watching the TV reaching for tissues.

Actually both groups need tissues, just for different reasons.

And then you got people like me who will be playing Civ4 instead of putting up with more partisan bullshit. :)

JediKooter 11-04-2008 06:44 PM

Who the heck is voting for McKinney? Wow.

fantom1979 11-04-2008 06:50 PM

I am guessing that not a lot of Capital Police officers will be voting for her.

JeeberD 11-04-2008 06:50 PM

Fox just called South Carolina for McCain...

Lathum 11-04-2008 06:51 PM

...

SirFozzie 11-04-2008 06:54 PM

As did NBC News. 16-3 McCain. But Nationally, so far, Obama has 54% of the national vote.

JetsIn06 11-04-2008 06:55 PM

Obama up 100,000 votes in NC according to CNN.com

Galaxy 11-04-2008 06:56 PM

A bizarre and amusing threadjack attempt, to be sure.

Galaxy 11-04-2008 07:00 PM

So far:

McCain (16):
South Carolina (8)
Kentucky (8)

Obama (3):
Vermont (3)

GrantDawg 11-04-2008 07:00 PM

Lathum 11-04-2008 07:01 PM

QuikSand 11-04-2008 07:01 PM

PA getting called for Obama right at the close of polls (per NBC) -- that's really big.

SirFozzie 11-04-2008 07:01 PM

MSNBC calls Pennsylvania!
