We’ve embedded a live electoral map on our page, courtesy of Google; it will remain at the top of every page. Hover your mouse over states to see the current percentages, or use the drop-down menus to check out individual states and see totals by county. You can zoom in and out, pan around, and do everything you normally do with Google Maps.

An Election Day observation from the besieged north-eastern corner of the Old Dominion:
After Mrs. Reject and I voted this afternoon we took a drive around the area just to enjoy a fall afternoon and we ended up counting lawn signs. There have been BO signs out on a few lawns all summer and they were still intact, but there appeared to be no new ones. What we did find surprising is the sudden proliferation of McCain / Palin signs- they seemed to be all over the place, they outnumbered the old established BO signs by about 5 to 1 and they had just appeared literally overnight.
This tends to reinforce my personal opinion that support for McCain here has been more solid than has been observed because McCain supporters have simply maintained a low profile for fear of harassment and property damage by the nuanced, sophisticated, tolerant gang of vandals who support BO.
So like a submarine surfacing at the dark of the moon it looks like the "Silent Majority" is coming out of hiding to make itself heard right when it really counts here in Virginia.

Both Fox News and CNN have called Vermont for Obama (at least, via their web sites) with 0.00% of districts reporting in. Current vote tally: 0-0.
Yea, it may be a shoe-in, but shouldn't they wait until at least ONE district reports in? Or, oh I dunno, waiting until enough do that there is no mathematical chance of being wrong?
Didn't they learn ANYTHING form 2000/2004?

So first results could go for the 0, but then...

I've lived in a rabid blue state (CT) for so long that it's getting hard to remember that I'm not alone. Every couple of years, I watch lemmings march off the edge of a cliff by the hundreds of thousands, and it's happening again.
What's different this time is that a significant part of the electorate is too young to remember even Ronald Reagan, let alone Jimmy Carter, LBJ, Nixon, and JFK. Those 5 presidencies left a lot of important history behind -- this history isn't being reported anywhere in our skrewel systems. About the era 1960-1980, all today's 21-year old can tell you is that Vietnam was a "quagmire". I resent that remark, having been an enlisted man during the tail end of Nam. Many people I know died there, and are probably rolling over in their graves right now watching a Marxist move into the White House.
I'm with PBMB #188: stay focused. Time is on the side of truth. And history.
History repeats itself. It has to ... nobody's listening.

re: #378 snowcrash
What about Murtha...anyone have news?
Is John Murtha a true American hero who sacrificed himself to defeat Obama?
NOTE: This is truly one of the most interesting things we have ever read — because we never once considered this for a moment, until we saw it in this post. John Murtha’s behavior in Pennsylvania the last few weeks has been so truly bizarre that we actually started to think he might have early stages of Alzheimers or conditions linked to dementia or senility. The things that have been coming out of his mouth have been so bad for Obama that if you didn’t know any better, you’d think Murtha was deliberately trying to throw the Keystone State to John McCain.
That’s John McCain, fellow military man. John McCain, who would keep America strong and not reduce or marginaize our military. Unlike Obama.
Is Murtha really wily enough to, as put below, “throw himself on a grenade” to keep a socialist like Obama from winning the White House?
If so, Murtha would be the most effective secret PUMA out there. The guy would instantly become King Sabertooth in our book (sorry Big Dawg).
VIA a truly great post over at NoQuarter: McCain May Catch a Case of Pennsylvania
In 2004 Kerry won Allegheny, and outlying counties, by slim margins:
Allegheny: 96,987Beaver: 2,230
Washington: 552
Fayette: 4,075
That’s 103,844 votes. Leaving a margin of 40,044 votes in the 2004 totals.There is one reason and one reason only that Kerry took these counties: Tereza Heinz-Kerry. Knowing this, Obama tried to trot her out in the run-up to the Pennsylvania primary. Her lack of enthusiasm for the candidate was pretty obvious. Obama has no such connection. In fact, the one thing he had going for him in the area, John Murtha, decided to pick the scab off the bitter/cling incident by calling his constituents racists, and then rednecks. Personally I think Murtha fell on a grenade, potentially ending his political career to prevent Obama from getting into the White House. Between that, Joe the Plumber, Bittergate, the Hillary/PUMA effect and Obama’s ever shrinking tax break income threshold (it used to be $250,000…now his ads say $200,000….his VP says $150,000….Bill Richardson says $120,000….we know it’s really around $42-50,000…middle class, get ready for the mugging) chances are McCain is going to win all four of those counties.
Another Kerry stronghold was Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Margins were not that wide there either.
Lackawanna County (Scranton is County Seat): 14,807
Luzerne County: 4,620I believe that it is the PUMA effect that will have the greatest impact in drawing Democrats away from Obama. Forget Biden’s connection to Scranton. He hasn’t had any there in decades. No one is seeing his appearance there as a homecoming. It’s a hey I used to be from here vote for me kind of feeling. When Democrats for McCain and Harriet Christian are leading PUMAs on major canvassing safaris, reminding everyone what Obama and the DNC did to Hillary, the candidate they still love, what Obama said about them, etc. I see both counties in play big time. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication up there!

Popped in to see what folks were saying. I'll be optimistic until they call PA, NC, VA and FL. If McCain doesn't win 3/4 of them... it is OVER OVER OVER.
All you can hope for is to keep 41 seats in the Senate. Dole is history, so I am guessing that NC is going to Obama. Personally, I think it is over.
Conservatives lost their ways and pay the price. Maybe they'll regain their conservative small-government attitude before 2012 and hopefully this website can be less slow by then as well.
Funny how opposing websites can load in seconds every time and you get nothing but bullshit "hamster" comments here.

re: #436 arethusa
Not yet. McCain has not yet lost a state Bush took in 2004 (correct me if I'm wrong). Now we focus on FL, OH, IN, and the west.
Remember, parts of states report at different times. In OH, I suspect big cities - Dem strongholds - are reporting first.

PA was a blue state last time. Still no states flipping to O from 2004.

Isn't the danger of calling things early worse for Obama and the Dems?
West coast Republicans are used to voting there without hope (just as I do in MN). The Dems may stay home thinking it's a lock. Too early to give up hope in any case.
