McCain led early, but once the more populated areas were tabulated, Obama won VA.

In NC Romney is not leading by that much, it was "too close to call" the last time they addressed it on CNN.

not entirely writing NC off, but I'm not expecting it to be blue this time round either.

Scary numbers right now that are essentially meaningless until the blue areas actually get the lines through the polls.

Virginia numbers won't get close to "real" until 10 or 11 pm.
