More Down Ballot Blogging

1:57 AM ... Our in-house number cruncher, Eric Kleefeld, says it's looking better and better for Franken. At this moment, our results map has Franken down by less than 2k votes. But Eric says the areas yet to fully report tend to be the more Democratic ones.

2:06 AM ... Still too close to call. But some possible really bad news out of California. The initial exits showed Prop 8 going down. But they've now been adjusted to show a possible victory. We're trying to find out more.

2:13 AM ... Nets call Indiana for Obama. And suddenly Missouri is tied. Our AP results show 100% reporting in NC with Obama up by over 10k votes. So we're not completely sure why that hasn't been called. But we'll try to find out more.

2:32 AM ... Franken-Coleman race is truly down to the wire. A matter of a couple hundred votes at the moment, with, seemingly, a Dem advantage among the areas remaining to report. Seems very possible this one goes to a recount, regardless of which guy wins.

2:34 AM ... We're still trying to find out more about Prop 8 in California. If you know of sites or blogs that have a good read on how the remaining counties seem likely to come in, drop us a line. Our grasp of California Dems and counties is not all it should be -- which is a bit embarrassing since I grew up there.

2:47 AM ... Kanjorski pulls it out in PA-11.

2:53 AM ... TPM Reader JT reports in from Chattanooga, Tenn. "From Chattanooga, Tennessee. At 1 a.m. in front of a bar on ML King Boulevard. We may not have turned Tennessee around, but there's plenty of happy folks (black and white) tonight in the red states, too."

3:00 AM ... Picture still seems very uncertain on Prop 8 in California. Getting some word from readers who appear to be in the know (in terms of knowing how to read the remaining results to come in) and they seem pessimistic ... Other readers though are not so sure -- a lot of question which parts of LA County are yet to report.
