50-49 for Obama says here - but that's just 4% of districts. Officially 'too close to call' - but Bush won there by a mile.

Ahh Carville has a southern accent.
Does anyone else think that Obama spokesman Bill Burton is awesome? I think he has some sort of future in politics beyond just campaign strategy.

Guardian's got Obama ahead in Indiana now

I heard early on a pundit (can't remember which) say that Obama's greatest strength as a candidate would be the cabinet he would put together.
My money right now is on Warren Buffet for Secretary of the Treasury. He's already endorsed Obama and Obama's hinted at it...

I hope they change Virginia, soon, too--I'll be shocked if Obama doesn't win there...

He certainly doesn't *need* the job, but it wouldn't be the first time a mega gillionaire held a political appointment/office. The Rockefellers got way into it.
Who do you think he'll pick?

No - he has said he would not do it. I don't know who he is going to pick. I know Volcker has been hanging out with him but he may be a too old for the job. There is a strong possibility Paulson will stay. Buffet has also suggested that Paulson should stay as well.
(watching out for Buffet's goldman sachs investment)

Huh, interesting. I was figuring Paulson would be a pretty convenient scapegoat and he'd be one of the first to go. The bailout is not going to do much to save mortgages and it's hard for people to care about abstract things like banks not collapsing until it hits home no pun intended...

I am so nervous right now. I am hoping mightily that Obama wins.

CNN's number crunching is brilliant - McCain's ahead, but he;s winning counties by 5% that Bush won by 30%. The big Dem areas there still haven't come back

I love love their big map on the touch screen and watching the guy turn states blue with a tap of his finger.

True.
I am not absolutely certain he will pick Paulson - I just know that he has been suggested.
Also yes the bailout really does nothing for homeowners. The banks are suggesting credit card debt forgiveness now as well and I think there will be a mortage cramdown or bailout type package next.
