NYT also has a nice pop-up that shows who is calling what for whom. They are virtuously not calling anything; everybody else is.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
NBC called South Carolina for McCain, but CNN has Obama ahead there. I have no idea how the networks make these calls.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have no idea how the networks make these calls.
It depends on how they're weighting the data they have at this point -- exit polls vs. raw precincts reported vs. the weighting of which precincts have reported.

Indiana and Georgia are too close to call;
I really never thought I'd see the day. I hope that teaches both parties that it's not safe to write off a state.
On the other hand, if we had had more than the never-ending Chambliss, Miller, Chambliss, Miller, Chambliss, Miller ads, my head might have exploded. Depressingly, both sides lied, lied and lied.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
CBS has McCain leading in the Electoral College 21 to 3. I suspect that's as good as it's going to get for Mr Mac.
