Polls in portions of Indiana plus Kentucky closed one fourth an hour ago, but just what will be alternatively thrilling may be the top on the hour, 7 Eastern Time, when Florida (minus the portion underneath Alabama) and Virginia close, and then 30 minutes then Ohio as well as North Carolina.

"EXIT POLLS TIGHT," giving Romney NC and also FL as well as Obama NH, PA, MI, and NV, and checklist OH, VA, CO, and IA since throw out ups. What? No Wisconsin?

7:37: Watched ABC circle for some time in addition to there is certainly some sort of wild-eyed desolation that explains to me personally they find out Obama's within trouble.

8:00: CNN phone calls Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska (3 of the 5), North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, and Mississippi to Romney. Michigan, New York, and New Jersey regarding Obama. (There runs Michigan, which often have been regarded possible to get Romney.)

8:02: They won't be able to call up Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, and also my residence express Wisconsin.

8:04: 52% Obama, 46% Romney CNN quit poll around Wisconsin. That seems to be bad for Romney.
