Election Night liveblog #14

Also follow our downballot liveblog at Daily Kos Elections Results: CNN | NY Times | Politico ' Poll Closing Times

6:24 PM PT (Laura Clawson): Don't forget that we're broadcasting on Daily Kos Radio. Armando, Kagro, Greg Dworkin, and a bunch of other cool people are hanging out over there.

6:25 PM PT: if @karlrove has his calculator handy, can he tell us how many millions $$ his group flushed in PA and MI? #thanks

6:26 PM PT: Woo hoo! AP calls it for Sherrod Brown, meaning that conservative billionaires pissed away about $40 million in the state.

6:27 PM PT: Winning feels good, doesn't it?

And now Fox News calls Wisconsin for Obama, but we knew that already. Because the math.

6:28 PM PT: And by the way, everyone saying this was a big win for Nate Silver are wrong. All he did was average out the polling data. If the polling data was wrong, he'd be wrong.

In other words, it's a big night for pollsters who, thus far, have called it right.

6:34 PM PT: Most of Palm Beach County (FL) is in, 59-40 Obama. Our benchmark chart says we needed to win it 60-39 to hit 50 percent statewide, so a little behind.

6:36 PM PT (Barbara Morrill): New thread here.
