...winners (only wrong twice since the 1800s) and exactly the same time he finished stating that and zooming in to make it huge on his map it went from blank to blue !

He laughed with a wow, as did Anderson Cooper.

Looks like CNN just called it! LOL

(Edited to correct my state failure in the subject line, it was Indiana, not Kentucky. So much info. flooding in it's hard to keep up, sorry.)

Works for me! I was hoping for an early night. morningfog Nov 2012 #1

I think that was a county in Indiana ... OldManTarHeel Nov 2012 #2

What county is it? demosincebirth Nov 2012 #3

I want to know too. n/t Pryderi Nov 2012 #4

I can't remember the name, possibly Ballard? Turborama Nov 2012 #6

Ballard closed about 10 minutes ago. Maybe Powell, which should have closed an hour ago? n/t gkhouston Nov 2012 #8

I was just checking on Wikipedia's alphabetical list of KY counties and Ballard looks closest Turborama Nov 2012 #10

But Ballard's on Central Time and the polls usually close at 6. Your OP is time-stamped 5:48. n/t gkhouston Nov 2012 #12

he just said it again, it was in Indiana Turborama Nov 2012 #15

Yeah, what county? I'm from Kentucky. nt Comrade_McKenzie Nov 2012 #5

Maybe Powell? n/t gkhouston Nov 2012 #9

I've been googling trying to work out which one it was.

Pretty sure it *is* Kentucky as it's one of the states they're getting results in from.

I can't find any info so far about a county in KY that predicts like he says it does, though.
