Special Election in Indiana's 7th District tonight as well. Currently 17 of 445 precincts reporting:

Jon Elrod(R) 52%
Andre Carson(D) 45%
Sean Shephard(L) 3%

Presumably the "(L)" for Shephard mean Libertarian. Could be stripping Elrod's votes away. Fingers crossed.

No, but it had been held by a Dem previously. It's essentially the Indianapolis metro area.

Aw, shoot.... brain fart.

This is Judy Carson's grandson running to replace her.

Carson is going to win this one.

Too early to call, according to Olbermann, but Obama leads.

Re: Early Open Thread (none / 0)

Polls close at 8 EST -- IIRC, so we should get some results pretty soon.

That should be attached to the Mississippi primary discussion not the Indiana election.

Obama's going to win this by a pretty wide margin (no surprise). Our prediction was pretty dead-on per the exit polls.

20% reporting and 51/46 Carson/Elrod.

I assume the solid Carson precincts, from the metro area, will report last ... they always do so this looks like a yawner.

But ya never know.

Probably so. ManfromMiddletown would have a good idea of it.
