WOW, I never realized that...thanks a lot...I thought there were only 2 states split into different time zones.

I'm in AZ though, so the lack of time changes throws me off

This is making me toooo stressed out. How come different channels are saying different projected outcomes? Last night they said every president that was only 2 points ahead won the elections. How come Obama was ahead by over 7 points and now I see McInsain is leading in every state so far? Yikes! They say a million people are gonna show up in Chicago tonight...they are running in....already 65,000 have been counted and growing larger every minute, so my guy Obama better (SHOULD)win...THE WAY THE VOTING IS GOING......otherwise I smell RECOUNTS! I voted in Florida and I do not feel 100% secure my vote was counted!

Take a deep breath..McCain is NOT winning every state so far. He has officially one two, Kentucky and SC. That's it. If you look at the states that they are projecting both to win so far. McCain only as 30 something electoral votes and Obama would have 61....we still have a VERY LONG way to go!

Calm down. He isn't leading in every state so far. He's gotten a couple of states we knew he'd get anyway that's all.

...and OK and TN. But Obama now has 76 electoral votes and McCain only has 34.

No problem! Florida is definitely too soon to tell at this point.
