According to CNN and MSNBC, calling early in the count, Pennsylvania goes into the Obama column.
Pennsylvania:
Obama 65%
McCain 34%
0% reporting
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has had a running blog going on voting in their coverage area, some of which has made for great reading. And, as always, Will Bunch is doing some great play-by-play from Philly as well.

Whoo Hoo!
right now it is;
104 electoramas
58 electorains
dole lost, that was a nice cookie
im feeling better
Fl, OH & MO are going to be a grind!
Any one of those and it’s really over.
The BBC is kicking but.
dole lost, that was a nice cookie
yummy, when you give a mouse a cookie…
nate says obama believes they are gonna win florida
Christy!
CNN exit polling bears this out — Obama will probably get FL by about two points.
Sweet.
And Liddy Dole losing her job, after those horrible ads, is some of the sweetest news of the evening.
Of course, there’s also Alan Grayson winning.
How wonderful to have the evening be so young, and have a hard time choosing the sweetest moment yet!
The BBC said it looks good for him also. Some the red districts don’t have the margins they did in 2004.

It’s over right now. The McCain campaign wagered everything on PA. The fine people of PA, have delivered. Thank You, Pennsylvania(sp.)! A World Series and an historical election. Kudos!
twolf and Christy!
dole going down is my favorite so far.
Just back from GOTV efforts in central Michigan. Michigan in the can for Obama. Just caught a glimpse on ABC of Charlie Gibson fellating Rudy Guliani. Why do the network newsreaders suck?
Which channel is BBC on DishNetwork ?
fl plus pa … lotsa ways to win …
ugh – Tom Delay up on MSNBC.
time to check out CNN….
cause otherwise it drips down the front of their shirts and looks really bad?
Delay on my TV. Time to switch channels.
Texas Bugman on my teevee. Why is this?
She shoudda stayed home after Bob got the little blue pill.
LOL … me too
707!!1!!!!!
Nate at 538 thinks Fla and Ind look better for Obama than Va.
I’m on Verizon FiOS so I can’t help you.
Bill “Dr. Virtue” Bennett was on CNN earlier. Same think, I had to switch channels quick.
Obama victory speech slated for 9 pm ET according to Candy Crowley.
Bugman predicts the minimum wage will be doubled in the next six months.
Well, remember..’You’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania…”
Great statement by Andrew Young: triumph of faith over fear, grace over greed, vision over violence….
all year long!
Tweety to Delay: “Ya know, I like the way you hate, sir!”
Jeez, what a kiss ass.
Why does Tweety keep calling Delay sir?
you almost make me feel sorry for her.
NO
NO
NO
We need people to VOTE in California. VOTE NO on 8
No victory speeches until the West Coast polls close, please.
that can’t be … that’s 3 mins from now …
Well, well, well. That’s the first thing he’s said that ever made sense. But, unfortunately, probably a bad prediction, just like all his others.
There’s no way. The networks can call it however they want, wherever they want. But I don’t think Obama would diss the Mountain and Pacific time-zone voters that way.
FunnyDiva
Why do the networks have the bugman on? What insight does this weasel bring to the table other than neo-fascist spin?
that’s not what he’s “kissing”
Live version of “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac. Amen!
:-)
Why isn’t that ass wipe in prison?
Let me guess…he says it as though that would be a _bad_ thing…
FunnyD
wait, who’s this bugman of whom you speak?
Nice one. *g*
It seems they ae not carrying Democracy Now on Direct TV this evening but they are on the net… thank goodness
i’m really hoping re florida as i know a 17 year old who’s been volunteering for the obama campaign and putting his heart into it.
He’s the only one still willing to speak for the Rs without a paper bag on his head.
The BBC just ranted about the 5000 lawyers sent to FL to watch the count. They pointed out that England and France doesn’t need to do that.
Time for the fat cats and aristocrats to cough it up!
Michigan will be the next state called for Obama!
BBC just called Michigan
colorado polls just closing … hoping my people put another one in the O column …
I bet you don’t need to wait hours in line to vote in England or France, either. And if you did, you’d have a paid day off to do it.
Our national election system is really a disgrace.
FunnyD
ABC New York for Obama. No surprise there.
Minnesota for Obama…..
Minnosetoa and Wisconsin, NY by the BBC
ABC Michigan for Obama
yeah, they’re showing it 175 to 61 in ec votes right now
Woo Hooo1!!!!
Yeah Michigan!!!!!
earlier i was streaming the democracy now! audio via wbai on itunes – but i’ve switched to the local npr because i want to know the results of our 3 ballot initiatives.
Wisconsin and Rhode Island for Obama
It’s true. The U.S. has a 3rd world electoral system. There should be international observers monitoring the election. Lines of 8-10 hrs is what one expects in a 3rd world country. It’s a new twist on the poll tax.
ND for McCain BBC
Obama 171 McCain 52 electorial votes BBC
Can’t watch Nicole Wallace. uggh
Long lines are all about voter suppression. I voted in less than 20 minutes today in mid-afternoon. Midtown Manhattan. 100 year old voting machines. It’s really simple if you want people to vote.
Timing is everything.
ABC: Minnesota and Wisconsin for Obama
Kansas for McCain
Rhode Island for Obama
North Dakota and Wyoming for McCain
BBC just said Fox called OH for Obama
AZ and CO too close to call so far.
How strange for Candy Crowley to be so wrong, esp. tonight!
Yes, Californians!!! there are too many issues to vote on, so don’t ditch out now. Go to the polls!!!
RI for Obama BBC
yeah, it’s no acccident … but didn’t work out the way they wanted this time …
the corner is in their death throws;
the audacious uninformed stupidity is frightening
wyoming for mccain! wow! what a surprise!
;)
neither can Palin….just sayin’
Obama ahead in Ohio!
Yep. And not wanting everyone to vote is UNAMERICAN! UNPATRIOTIC!
I’m talkin’ to YOU, rethuglican pukes!
FunnyD
My Congressional race not looking like a switch to my Dem candidate; a little early. But looks like Repug McCaul will return. ;(((
Oh, that’s amazing. Good news, no?
FunnyD
But who wouldn’t want Americans to vote?
You are a much braver person than I am to read that stuff.
Rs. It’s the only way they can win.
ok, my 24 hour adrenalin supply has clearly run out, I am getting that headache you get when your body wants to sleep but your brain says no
BBC calls GA for McCain
CO should be called soon … 2/3 of people early voted. And obama ahead in polls, solidiying coming up the election. which should express what people actually voted
now hoping muskrat (despicable right winger in house) will get defeated …
Hopefully we can fix it. And I believe we will.
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
FunnyD
I must admit, I am enjoying their sorrow, I am co-miserating
Great coverage wouldn’t you say?
Have you had some supper? Enough water or juice? Something warm and comforting?
FunnyD
Part of the great 08-09 D schadenfreude fest.
Too apparent?
Obama is at 174 on CNN; add the west coast, Cali, Wash, Oregon are 73, so he is effectively at 247.
Only 23 more to go.
Jane’s back on at BBC
Excellent… and they don’t yell at their audience.
Does ‘reveling in’ trump ‘enjoying’? Because that’s sure as hell what I’m doing.
Jane looks sassy, full of energy.
Shocked!
georgia is being called for mccain by fox and msnbc
I should get meditation tips from her … where does she get the energy …
nate had georgia called for mccain, no surprise
OHIO for Obama!!!!!
I have no idea where the current thread is.
Why is FauxNews advertising on MSNBC?
kinda like McSlime campaigning in Iowa.
Obama gets Ohio !!!
Cuz McCain told them it’s a good idea …
Obama gets New Mexico
boulder county CO going obama 76% to 22% ;)
The Hawkeye state turns blue!
If the Hoosier state goes blue that will mean the Big Ten has gone unanimously for Obama.
What’s next, they start throwing the football?
