Any clue what the reporting order is? Are we getting the urban-Dem precincts in first?

Not sure. Waiting for Chuck Todd to haul his computer-map-thingy out.

Re: Indiana 1 (none / 0)

Indiana First is centered on Gary and the surrounding district.

It is the most reliable Democratic area of Indiana.

I don't know what precincts have been called but usually the urban areas are the last to report.

I hope not. Now a 51/48 lead for McCain, though.

Gary is a majority of the District and about 78% black.

It ain't going McCain.

Basically, right now, it looks like Obama is performing way ahead of Kerry in a lot of once-heavily GOP areas. I mean 40-point net swings in some areas, from a Kerry share of 30% four years ago to an Obama share of 50% tonight.

That's at least what they're saying so far.
