mostly because they didn't share it.

From their liveblog:
4:11 PM PT: Want good news? We need good news. Here's good news.
PASCO: @CharlieCrist beating Rick Scott in Pasco County: 47.39 to 45.52. @fasanomike
@KevinCate
Crist needed to LOSE it by less than six points to be on track to win the state. He's winning it.

4:13 PM PT: Charlie Crist is outperforming Obama for now. By 6% in Pinellas County AND Pasco County. Scott won Pasco County 52-43 in 2010, currently losing it 47-46.
4:16 PM PT: Woah, big dump in Palm Beach County. Crist up 62-35. He needs to hit at least 58.
Remember, Republicans won the early vote as far as ballots returned, which means that independents are going heavily to Crist.

4:25 PM PT: The breakdown of the early vote in Florida was 42.6 GOP, 39.5 DEM. Yet Democrat Charlie Crist is winning the early vote by over 20 points. Did ANY independent vote for Republican incumbent Gov. Rick Scott?

Went to court to keep polls open an extra hour in certain areas due to voting problems/irregularities. Per Ed/MSNBC.
