Hints?

Yes, I’ll be liveblogging. So far, so good.

Carville just now on CNN, in the course of making a different point, talked about a “nine-point election.”

Kentucky called for McCain right away, but Indiana not called. Hard to see an election where Obama is close in Indiana and doesn’t win comfortably nationwide.

Talking heads explaining why Liddy Dole lost – “Godless money” is mentioned – though no one has formally called NC for Hagan.

VA called for Warner.

SC polls closed, not called yet. That’s got to be good news for the good guys.
