Obama has a 61-38 percent advantage in Ohio at the moment, but that must just mean that Obama areas are reporting in at a faster rate than Romeny's....

Former governor of Maine running as an independent in the senate race. Has been coy about whom he would caucus with, but widely expected to side with the Dems.

Florida is looking like another photo finish.

Ohio not so much.

Wisconsin for the President. Massachusetts sends another Kennedy to Congress, and is just about to, finally, send its first woman to the US Senate.

I see Morlock is projected the loser in Indiana....

I see in Mass that Brown is down at the moment by about 30,000 votes, (he was down by 35K) but only 32% of the precincts are reporting...

I really hope he pulls it out....

If he doesn't, it will be yet another case of a reasonable pragmatist being replaced by a shrill ideologue....
