Final RealClearPolitics average:

Obama 52
McCain 44.2

Final Pollster.com projection:

Obama 51.9
McCain 44.3

Polling over the night suggests either an even split among undecideds or a break towards Obama. Zogby sez 54-43, ABC 53-44, Marist 52-43, Ras 52-46, IBD/Tipp 52-44, MediaCurves 54-43, Economist/YouGov 52-44.

Re: Final Polls & Stuff (none / 1)

These are somewhat annoying as they are almost on the edge of Blow-Out Landslide range.

Let's keep an eye on the Kentucky Senate race. If McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, goes down ... get this! ... Senator John Kyl of Arizona is next in line.

Whoa! That would be great.

Who is he? Booman was giggling about the idea as well.

Re: Final Polls &amp;amp; Stuff (none / 0)

He's the junior senator from Arizona, I believe. Long-term, a sitting duck, since AZ will eventually find its way to Blue America (even if it probably doesn't tonight in the presidential).

Napolitano will probably defeat McCain, too, in 2010 if he loses to Obama tonight and seeks re-election to the Senate.

Re: Final Polls (none / 0)

I think Kos is actually being a little too optimistic. I'd be happy to see Lunsford win it, even if he's a wimpy Kentucky Dem, but I think Obama would need to get within single digits to push him up, and that ain't happenin' in KKKentucky.

Re: Final Polls &amp;amp; Stuff (none / 1)

Polling tells us what was happening, not what is happening.

It's all about turn-out now.
