While only a small percentage of Philadelphia county is reporting (2%), its 66% Obama 33% McCain. Interesting to see if it holds this way.

Yea some networks aren't calling PA just yet to be on the safe side

Personally, being from PA, I'd say it's safe to call. I know very few McCain supporters. And, PA hasn't been a red state in some time now, and I don't think McCain is a color changer for this state. Thank the Lord!

Florida could be the real surprise tonight. If Obama can take the central, I-4 corridor of the state (Tampa, Orlando, etc), he could wind up taking the state McCain really needs.

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

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).

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!

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.

Had a funny TWC-related ream last night. I was watching NBC's Sunday Night Football (the Steelers, of course), except it wasn't on NBC. Yes, it was on TWC. And, best of all - none of Madden's annoying voice! Alas, Cantore and Bettes were commentating the game. How odd?!

Yeah, it's about time. Local stations have had this feature for years now.

But WHY are they using Google Earth's radar image? Why not just integrate it into Titan HD? The Google Earth radar image looks less sharp and clear. And I know for a fact Titan HD has that capability.
