did i just hear Indiana leading towards McCainBasically at the time McCain won Kentucky which is worth 8 points. Obama won 3 points by winning Vermont. Both results were expected.
However it looks like McCain just won West Virginia, not sure what was predicted for this result.
McCain had roughly a 9-point lead in polls in West Virginia - no real surprises there.
Yeah, 20% of the votes are in for Indiana, and Fox currently have McCain 4% ahead.
South Carolina to McCain.
NBC has only called 3 states
NBC has only called 3 states
Projected pretty solidly for McCain. I still have yet to see a US network call it for McCain, yet Sky News, a UK channel has.
Where do I find out which state is worth how many points?
Yeah, 20% of the votes are in for Indiana, and Fox currently have McCain 4% ahead.
Were these expected results?. I'm sure Indiana was a battleground, no idea about S.C.
What state would clinch it for Obama?
Obama has 50.7% of all votes, McCain 48.5%.
Cheers.
Most pundits were tipping Obama to take Indiana.
Looks like Indiana could be the closest race of the night.
BBC says that US Networks have projected a McCain win for West Virginia
I'm an idiot, I had that up, just didn't click to what electoral college meant.
Cheers Elvis.

This does not mean much. It depends a lot on the counties of these votes. If they do not include the big cities they could still change by quite a lot.
Echoing McLovin's question, as a confused Mancunian viewer used to the English system - what are the 'swing' states that Obama needs to turn from red to blue to become King? Ta in advance!
Mccain wins South Carolina 21-3

Dopey tw*t!
The swing states off the top of my head are Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida
Hope he takes it. This all looks alot closer than expected then.
21-3 McCain on SkyNews. Still a long night thought i guess.
Well if Obama won both Florida and Virginia the fat lady'd be doing a sound check pretty sharpish i reckon.
McCain just won South Carolina 16-3
Confirmed on BBC. 16-3 here though.
BBC has it at 16-3. 8 electoral votes for McCain after he wins SC.
BBC haven't taken into account West Virginia which Sky has as I don't think it's been confirmed.
There are 50 states in the United States, so relax. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Obama looking good in Florida, should be called in a few minutes.
Yeah Dimbleby said no projections were made, so they haven't taken it into account.
Come on Barack!!
Right then Fox has called West Virginia and South Carolina for McCain. No surprises so far.
Watching the thousands of people pouring into the the Chicago venue to watch Obamas victory speech, you have to wonder just what the feck is going to happen if he loses. It'll be mahem.
CNNs webpage is showing that Obama is well ahead in North AND South Carolina
Polls for the next states close in a minute and a half.
Says who?
