[Josh/Devilman88]

I have nothing better to do, so I am going to make another one, that will have less of my personal view on the races(NC races). Anyways, Obama picks Clark as his VP Aug, 21st, McCain picks Ridges has his VP Aug, 29th.

Hello, this is Kyle White with BCC and this is your 2008 election night! It is now 6:00pm EST and many locals in IN and KY are closing their polls, but we can't make any calls because there are still part in both of them states that are open until 7:00pm EST.

The key states to watch tonight is PA, OH, CO, NM and VA. Tom Ridge is the Frm. Governor of PA so that state needs to be watch tonight. VA has been tied for the past 4 weeks, so that is a key state to watch too. We will be back at 7:00pm EST with some calls.

I love how Josh says this won't have his personal opinions, yet NC is still within 2%

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Indiana is way to close in all these scenarios. I know a few polls have shown it close, but no way a state that went 60% for Bush in 2004 is going to go to Obama or give him 48% of the vote. A reasonable prediction is McCain +8 - 10%

It's not just Josh's though. I've read all of these going on, and one guy even had Obama winning Indiana. It's not gonna happen.
