It'll be Virginia.

But you know.... it would be awesome if it was Georgia. After all, Georgia's reporting at the same time as Virginia. If the peach state votes Obama and gets the announcement out first--that would be quite a moment.

Virginia will be "too close to call" for most of the evening, is my guess. Ohio will be interesting. Pollster switched them from leaning Obama to toss-up, with Obama leading by 3.

Have they determined if they'll count those Virginia military votes? Didn't the GOP ask for ten days for them to vote or something like that? That could make VA one of the last states.

Me too. Yet one more reason I love the idea of early voting.

Yeah, but states like Virginia don't have early voting. Ohio does, with almost 1.5 Million votes cast already. Indiana has over 600,000 cast already.

Early voting under way in many states - CNN.com

I think it's going to be a nail biter till Midnight or so. I could be wrong.

Every state should have early voting. This idea of having over 100 Million people vote in one day seems sillier and sillier the more I think about it.
