Liveblogging (sort of) the returns

8:05:  CNN is calling South Carolina for McCain
— never mind that only 1% of the votes are in and those votes are going for Obama. What???? Okay, I’m giving up on liveblogging and putting Hambet to bed.

7:30:  per CNN:  McCain ahead in Indiana, Florida, Virginia.

7:25:  CNN is reporting early returns from Virginia show McCain in the lead (55%-45%)

7:20 PM: I’m doing some paperwork, Hambet is supposed to be doing his homework, and husband Posco is watching CNN. With a miniscule percentage of the returns in, Wolf has called Vermont for Obama (3) and Kentucky for McCain (8)
