I agree, MSNBC's site is by far the best.


Are any of your local stations doing anything special?

Here, WPXI (NBC affiliate) has a cable news channel, PCNC (Pittsburgh Cable News Channel), and have been live since the end of their 6:00 news. At 10:00, their coverage will switch to WPGH/FOX53 (sister station) through 11:00; at that time they will air the 11:00 news back on WPXI, and at 11:30 they go back live on PCNC through at least midnight. What a busy night for their anchors and reporters!

NBC is lighting up the grid in Blue!

The big one is Pennsylvania, to Barack.

Was surprised NBC called it so quick, almost instantly after the polls closed at 8 pm. CNN has yet to call PA... they seem to be calling the very conservatively tonight (waiting for most of the counties to come in).

Wow, the 8 o'clock hour saw Obama leap way ahead.  :blink:

Pennsylvania was an extremely big win for Obama. The folks at NBC were saying that it, in an dof itself, may make the election for Obama and break it for McCain.

To Tyler's question: the only thing special around here is that the local affiliates are breaking in at the top and bottom of the hour with local results.

Almost exactly what they said. Im surprised about West Virginia as well. FOX News has only called West Virginia so far

Well most of the states (besides PA) were no brainer wins for Obama. Still close race I think

NBC now giving Illinois to Obama... not surprising. They're also now giving Oklahoma to McCain.
