WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Another red state turns blue. Current EV count is 349-162.
Two states still to be called:
Missouri: McCain:1,442,613, Obama: 1,436,745, 100% precincts in, lead is 5868.
North Carolina: Obama: 2,101,991, McCain: 2,089,828, 100% precincts in, lead is 12,163.
Update: As noted in the comments, CD2 in Nebraska also hasn't been called.
Update: Dems pick up ID-1, total pickup is now 19 seats, with 6 seats left to be decided, all current GOP seats. We're currently ahead in 2, and behind in 4, including WA-8, where Darcy Burner is behind 1,500 votes, but with only 41% of the precincts counted. Two other seats in LA will be decided in December.
Logging you in...

"McCain led Obama in the 2nd District by 569 votes in unofficial returns, but more than 9,000 early votes and provisional ballots in Douglas County were still to be counted, said David Phipps, election commissioner.
Those ballots — some of which won't be counted until next week — could decide the race, both Republicans and Democrats said today."

If those Nader voters had gone for Obama, then NE-02 could have been called for Obama by now.

EDIT: I see CNN has called NE-02 for McCain, since they have 349-163. What I don't see at CNN (and why I went to look there at all) is national popular vote % to tenths. BBC has that, but not CNN that I can see. Yet CNN must have that in two hours (00:00 GMT, or 20:00 EDT) to be used as the tiebreaker in the contest, should NE-02 and MO go McCain and NC go Obama (making that logjam at 364 matter).

I have already said to some coworkers that I realize it doesn't really matter, but I want to make sure that it is done right for history. I also think if it ends up that Obama does peel off one vote that there may be renewed interest in doing this in states aside from Maine and Nebraska.
I don't think states should unilaterally "disarm" but it would be neat to see both California AND Texas AND Florida agree to this type of EV splitting.
