Live NYT Blog:

Philadelphia Suburbs | 6:39 p.m. Fox is also reporting that in the Philadelphia suburbs, Bucks County — historically red but it turned blue this year — is voting 2-1 for Mr. Obama. If that holds up, it would be a strong sign that Mr. McCain’s Pennsylvania strategy was perhaps not airtight.

just called pennsylvania. mccain is done. ok, maybe i should wait for virginia.

Nate Silver isn't calling Penn yet (as of 8:15pm), but it seems pretty good.
- jim 11-05-2008 1:21 am

neither is cnn but chris matthews is from pennsylvania so he should know. he even knows the ward heelers by name.

of course, msnbc is in the tank for obama. they even banished the conservative pundits to the outer reaches of their studio.
- dave 11-05-2008 1:32 am

I can't even hear the TV over here. So if anyone (Dave) wants to post what's going on I would appreciate it. From what I can gather Virginia is still too close to call.

Any updates welcome!

even if somehow obama loses virginia, ohio, north carolina, florida, missouri and indiana, if he wins iowa, california, oregon, washington, new mexico, colorado and nevada he wins. and hawaii.

I just keep flashing back to when I was assuring Skinny that Al Gore was our next President. I just can't believe it yet.
- jim 11-05-2008 2:47 am

when its all over i expect hell take fl, nc and va.
- dave 11-05-2008 2:52 am

Hope so. I thought that going into it, but now I'm so stressed I'm just happy for any outcome in which Obama wins. A big win would be good, but I don't really care.

I guess if we stay up we'll have to tune into the senate races.

Sure you're not coming over Dave?
- jim 11-05-2008 2:54 am

i dont think so. id have to put on clothes. seems like a real hassle lately. plus colbert and stewart are on live now.

- dave 11-05-2008 7:13 am

whoops maybe not missouri. got within 400 votes but the two outstanding counties lean heavily mccain.
- dave 11-05-2008 7:21 am
