I'm very surprised about Virginia. That state is usally Replublican leaning.

Why are you happy McCain is winning in VA? I thought you wanted Obama

I think VA is a real surprise. Every poll has Obama in the lead. So far McCain has a fair lead here

Really no surprises just yet. PA was something to watch but McCain had a slim chance there anyway

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

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.

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

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).

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

I am really liking MSNBC's graphics package this year.

I got to give credit to every network. The graphics are amazing in HD! However MSNBC has the BEST website I have seen so far.

Well were talking about small, expected states so far. Those swing states are key!

States like VA and PA are the most interesting, including FL

I really think VA and FL will go McCain but loose PA. Very interesting to watch. Ive been to both a McCain and Obama rally and there is strong support for both in VA. It will be close

From what I've seen so far, NBC's virtual sets are very interesting!

OMFG I swore for sure that Obama was getting the lead

Still real early!

Still very early.

Yea I saw that! Must be real hard to know what you are doing. I heard that some of the reporters had months of training.

Wow anyone watching CNN? They have a hologram of a reporter there. They are using 35HD cameras and using projectors to make the image. Real neat
