Live Election Coverage

Welcome to the show, boys. Stick around, I'll be updating frequently

• 10:36: Oh, and one final point. We have elected President a black man named Barack Hussein Obama. Can we officially claim racism dead, now? More on this tomorrow, but that statement stands on its own, I believe. Now, I really am going to bed.
• 10:30: That was an awful night. I'm going to bed. 
• 10:22: It doesn't annoy me that Obama won. Well, it does, but what annoys me astronomically more is the ignorance of his voters. That, I promise, is the last time I ever link to a Howard Stern video.
• 10:13: Shays lost. He conceded defeat about 30 minutes ago.
• 10:05: PJM and Instapundit both just called the election for Obama. That shouldn't be a big deal; I did like three hours ago.
• 10:00: Iowa goes to Obama, McCain wins Utah. Oh, and Texas, obviously.
• 9:57: Nevada, Iowa, Utah and Montana are closing at 10. Nevada will be interesting to see.
• 9:54: Things are still going poorly for Chris Shays.
• 9:43: John McCain got West Virginia - no surprises there.
• 9:40: As far as CT state politics go, Senate Minority Leader John McKinney won his reelection bid.
• 9:32: Haha: "Welcome your new overlords." 
• 9:31: A diamond in a pile of poop: McCain just grabbed Louisiana.
• 9:25: If Jim Himes ends up beating Shays in the 4th District, you can expect about 50% of my future posts to be investigating his campaign, as well as his future office.
• 9:23: Fox called Ohio for Obama. That could be the election right there.
• 9:14: Ha. This is what our local news reports. This is what really happened.
• 9:08: Things aren't looking good for Shays in CT. With 28% recorded, he's down 65%-35%.
• 9:05: The popular vote is currently at 50% to 49% in Obama's favor. Wow, really close.
• 9:01: NY, RI, MN, NM, WI go Obama. WY, ND, and MI for McCain
• 8:57: A whole bunch of 'em close in two minutes. More then.
• 8:50: Absentee ballots in Ohio are breaking heavily for Barack Obama (70%). It doesn't worry me too much.
• 8:40: Georgia goes to McCain. To paraphrase Brit Hume: "Republicans can take comfort in the fact that Obama didn't... win... or pull off a huge upset in Georgia. Shit, I need a nap." - It was something like that.
• 8:31: Arkansas went to McCain, obviously. Kerry won his Senate seat back in MA as well. No major news there.
• 8:22: Jeanne Shaheen wins against John Sununu 57% to 40% in NH
• 8:10: Fox News called Kay Hagan as victorious over Elizabeth Dole.
• 8:04: Most outlets gave PA to Obama, although FOX is being stubborn. That's a big story. McCain needs Virginia now.
• 8:03: Biden just got his senate seat back.
• 8:00: Polls just closed pretty much everywhere in the east. MA, DC, IL, NH, MA, NJ and my home state of CT were just declared for Obama - no surprises there. Oklahoma went to McCain, also no surprises.
• 7:55: ABC reports a status quo black turnout. 
• 7:47: South Carolina was just called for McCain, and Virginia appears to be strongly in his favor right now. That is with only 6% in, but it's a start.
• 7:45: I've noticed that I am the only blogger who liveblogs the right direction - newer entries to the top. It makes extraordinary sense.
• 7:35: Fox calls West Virginia for McCain Oh, and much thanks to Glenn Reynolds for his second link of the day.
• 7:33: NBC also reports that, in Indiana, moderates are breaking in favor of Obama 63% to 36%.
• 7:21: This 8-3 lead by McCain could be the last time McCain holds the lead. Hey - I'm not a pessimist, just sayin'!
• 7:03: Setting up shop now, sorry for the three minute tardiness. NBC has already awarded Vermont to Obama and Kentucky to McCain.
