Fox Is Alone With New Mexico

Although not unexpected, New Mexico has been put into the Obama column by Fox News. No other network has made this call.

NBC Says Obama Leads in Colorado

NBC says Colorado where the polls have now closed is too close to call, but Obama leads right now. We’ll see if that Red state flips sometime tonight.

Projections

CNN projects Obama takes RI (4), Michigan (17), Wisconsin (10), Minnesota (10) and New York (31). McCain takes Wyoming (3), North Dakota (3). According to its map, CNN says Obama is ahead in the Electoral Vote count of 174-49. ABC adds Kansas to McCain and says Obama is ahead, 174-61. I throw up my hands […]

CNN is Dragging

Thanks to Pollster.com, you can put your mouse over any state on its Election 2008 and check to see which network has made a projection. CNN is noticeably late on each state including Pennsylvania, Alabama, Arkansas and West Virginia. It has been the last network to make a projection, although as I write this, it […]

Fox Says It's Close to Projecting Virginia

McCain is leading the popular vote in Virginia. McCain has campaigned there heavily saying he wants to keep Virginia Red. Fox is showing Shepard Smith while Fox News Channel has Brit Hume. Just simulcast. And make sure Megyn Kelly is on both, ok?

Chuck Todd Is Right

Over to MSNBC, Chuck Todd checking his map calls it the Big Five: Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and Virginia. Right now, the map is falling right into the 2004 results. However, Todd is correct in saying until one of the Big Five flips, we won’t know how this election is going. It looks good for […]

Alabama Is Crimson, Not Quite Red

ABC News is projecting John McCain will win Alabama based on its exit polls. No other network has made that projection, but so far, the states that were Blue in 2004 are staying Blue. The states that were Red in 2004 are remaining in the GOP column. What Obama needs to do is to turn […]

Maps! More Maps! I Can't Follow Each Map!

Over to Electoral-Vote.com and its map puts Virginia and Georgia solidly into McCain’s camp. South Carolina and Texas are not solid Red, but are leaning towards McCain. However, it also projects Ohio and Florida into Obama’s column. According to the website, the Electoral Vote tally is McCain 100, Obama 73. What info does this site […]

More Possible Trends

Pollster.com which has a nice running blog tonight, has two more states possibly going into the Obama column. Two battleground states that were both Red in 2000 and 2004. They’re called Missouri and Florida. If that is true, then it would be very difficult for McCain to win. He would have to sweep the Western […]

Why Are The Tallies Different On Each Network?

ABC News has also put Pennsylvania into Obama’s camp and they have a 102-34 Electoral Vote margin for the Democrat. CNN says Obama’s ahead, 77-34. MSNBC says it’s 103-34, Obama. CBS says 81-39. Fox has Obama ahead, 77-39. What is going on here?

BBC America Has Its Own Fancy Technology

BBC America also calls South Carolina for the McCain camp joining NBC’s call from earlier. The BBC has its own fancy touchscreen map, not quite as good as CNN’s, but it can give us breakdowns similar to what John King can do on the Magic Wall. We’ll be checking up on BBC America every once […]

NBC Colors South Carolina Red

NBC News projects South Carolina into the McCain column. According to its map, McCain has 16 Electoral Votes while Obama has 3. Fox News not made this call.

Are We Seeing A Trend

Pollster.com shows North Carolina quite close, but having Obama eeking it out with a 52-48 percent margin. What about Ohio? That is estimated to be 53-45. Those would be huge for the Democrat and a big blow to McCain’s chances as he has to take those two states to win. However, NBC News says it’s […]

Two Southern States for McCain?

Pollster.com which is updating its projected results quite quickly estimates McCain winning Georgia by a 50-48 margin while taking South Carolina a bit more comfortably, but still close, 52-46. Not a surprise for either state if that holds. Two networks (CBS and Fox News) still maintain a 13-3 Electoral Vote lead for McCain while the […]
