Something wrong in Florida. It only adds up to 96 percent. Is there a large 3rd party vote?

Florida math.

52 + 48 = pear

Put my vote this morning in CA for McCain (who probably isn't going to win). I know my vote doesn't count, but I can't vote for somebody who's going to add $5k more to my taxes per year and give free checks to people who don't pay income tax at all. We'll see if the Holy Trinity of Obama, Pelosi, Reid can fix this country with miracles.

And yet you have no problem a republican administration ran the country's economy into the ground (the same kind of administration McCain will run), then borrowed 700 billion from the tax payer (your tax dollar) to save corporations who are now using that money to pay for their top earner's bonus. Good job.

Last time I checked your leader also voted for the same bailout. If he voted against that POS bill, he would've had my vote instantly.

Interesting! Very limited results in Kentucky but McConnell is doing 7 percentage points LESS than McCain. Meaning a fair portion of the people split their ticket and didn't vote for McConnell.

Hmmm. I just checked RCP and McConnel has been polling 5 points below McCain all along.
I guess he's just not very well liked in Kentucky.
 
looking forward to seeing GA and VA in 10 minutes.

if Obama carries VA and has a strong showing in GA, let's just stick a fork in this thing.

McConjob is a prick and "help in" outsourcing fool.

If GA goes Obama that would really surprise me. I'm gonna go ahead and label that as a McCain win and then see if I get pleasantly surprised.

KY and IN should be particularly interesting. KY is "solidly" McCain. If he does better than polls have shown, then maybe he has a chance. But, even if he wins, if he does worse there than the polls have been predicting, it'll be a long night for the Republicans.

With 8% in, McCain is leading KY 50 to 48 (local news channel results). Obama is leading Fayette County 51 to 48 with 91% reporting (Lexington, KY - 2nd largest city in KY).

I expect McCain to take a much larger lead in KY though.

Lunsford may have a chance though. He is up over 7,000 votes in Fayette County alone.

I def. think George is in McCain's column, but if black turn-out pushes it into a tight win for JSM, I think it'll be a portent of things to come as we move into the 8 PM closings and closer states will fall to Obama thanks to turn-out numbers.

I live in Georgia.

I will tell you this much... In the county where I live, the population is about 60% black 40% other.

When I went to vote, it looked like 90% black and 10% other.

Fayette County reported. (Lexington, KY). 2nd largest city in KY with over 10% of the population.

Lunsford leads KY with 9% of the vote in.

Wow! I saw 69% and thought, "oh well."

As I said above, KY is going to be interesting to watch.

When the Louisville results (Jefferson County) come in, it could get more interesting. McCain "will" win but it will be closer. Also, Lunsford may close in on McConjobs Senate seat (with a little luck and prayer).
