9 PM Calls

Mostly predictable calls at 9 PM, but one battleground goes to McCain -- North Dakota called right at the close. This was one we had called for Obama, but obviously McCain is going to win handily. Clearly the recent polling that we didn't have may have shown it trending late to McCain.

CNN has the tally at 174 to 49 for Obama
NBC News (which has been more aggressive with its calls throughout the night) has the tally at 175 to 70

Basically, McCain is 2 for 2 in battlegrounds so far. He needs every one of them to win.
