November 4th\u00a0\u00a0 Live Election Coverage<\/p>\n
6:00 PM\u00a0 CST<\/p>\n
MSNBC has called Vermont and Kentucky.\u00a0 Obama\u00a0\u00a0 McCain<\/p>\n
Chris Matthews says Indiana too close to call…bodes well for Obama.\u00a0 As a Hoosier, I remember when Indiana went Democrat with regularity.\u00a0 It was a labor state and labor voted Democrat.\u00a0 Then, Governor Wallace.\u00a0 He took a third or so of the vote.<\/p>\n
Several strong African American commentators like Bishop of Potter’s House Ministry and Eugene Robinson from the Washington Post.\u00a0 Feels good to me to have a strong Africa-American presence.<\/p>\n
I know it may be my projection but it seems Chinese Americans carry themselves in a different way since China has risen in world prominence.\u00a0 More confident, more sure of themselves in their difference.\u00a0 It also seems to be happening to African-Americans.\u00a0 Validation comes in different ways,but it is beautiful to see.<\/p>\n
7:00 PM<\/p>\n
Pennsylvania projected for Obama.\u00a0 MSNBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
McCain has begun to underperform Bush 2004.\u00a0\u00a0 This looks good for the whole race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Howard Dean has begun to talk about healing from the last 8 years.\u00a0 I agree.\u00a0 The whole country felt different today as I drove home from Hopkins after doorknocking for Get Out The Vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Interesting shots from Grant Park.\u00a0 Filled with black faces.\u00a0 Just 40 years ago, in 1968, Chicago had streets filled with vietnam war protesters.\u00a0 Now African-Americans will celebrate the distance between then and now, between 1964 and now, between 1864 and now.<\/p>\n
At this point Obama has 78-111 electoral votes.<\/p>\n
7:45 pm\u00a0 As of now my home county in Indiana, Madison, has voted Obama by 52% with 71% of precincts reporting.<\/p>\n
Given the western states of California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii and the Upper Midwest states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan combined with Pennsylvania I predict Obama the victor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
