I know we only have 30% of the vote in (and don't have CA) - but I am surprised that the popular vote remains as close as it has.
I expected a 5 point margin.

I'm also making a call that McCain will carry NC by a very small margin - the NC State of Elections website is far ahead of the networks. All of Wake (Raleigh), Durham, Orange (Chapel Hill), Guilford (Greensboro) & Forsyth (Winston-Salem) are in. The parts of Mecklenburg (Charlotte) yet to be reported are the Republican burbs. The state has a 20K margin for McCain at 10:12 p.m. while CNN shows Obama up by 12,000.

I'm glad that the overall race won't be close enough that will have long arguments about the winner here.

Hey, I thought you were brining the pot roast?

You didn't get any? I think Rexer ate it all.

I'm just a geek at heart. I like it when I call things before the experts - now I get to see if I'm right. Luckily it won't matter.

Looks like it will be 3

I now think I'll be wrong - there are three counties that comprise most of the difference between the CNN numbers (Obama by 28K) and the state site (McCain by5K). The major county is Buncombe (Asheville), which will tip things toward the CNN numbers, looks like 15 more for Obama.
