ABC has their major network coverage online http://abcnews.go.com/live edit: It may originally bring up their online team's coverage, but underneath in a "Watch Now" box you should be able to change the stream to the actual network feed. I've been watching ABC on election nights since I was little with Peter Jennings. It's not an election night without George Will for me. | ||

Maybe there is more correlation between macro economic variables and the presidency switching from one party to the other. I actually had to crunch some of his numbers. There's actually a pretty significant interaction between incumbency and GDP growth rate in first three quarters of the election year from what I see in his model. Anyways, his final word on this election is the following: This is the last vote prediction before the election. Given the NIPA third-quarter data that were released today, the value of G is 1.03, the value of P is 1.57, and the value of Z is still 1. The predicted two-party vote share for Obama is 49.0 percent (VP), and the predicted two-party vote share in the House for the Democrats is 46.0 percent (VC). The presidential election is thus predicted to be very close regarding vote share, as it has been since October of last year. Obama has lost 1.0 percentage points of vote share between October 30, 2011, and now. The growth rate in the first three quarters of this year (G) turned out to be smaller than was predicted last October, as also did the inflation rate variable (P). The smaller G lowers the predicted vote share, and the smaller P raises it. On net, the predicted vote share fell 1.0 percentage points. The standard error of the vote-share equation is at least 2.5 percentage points (see the November 2010 update above), and so 50.0 percent is well within a one standard deviation error band centered at 49.0. The present results thus have a very limited amount to say about the likely winner of the presidential election. This is especially true in the current election because it could be that Obama loses the popular vote but wins in the electoral college. From: http://fairmodel.econ.yale.edu/vote2012/index2.htm | ||

you can compare 2008 and 2012 results on this map. so far it seems that we have more polarization, with commie color side gaining a bit more turnout consistent gain of 3ish% in the red counties, uncertainty in blue cities. not sure about suburbs | ||

It is neutral too which probably gives it an advantage over domestic US channels. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20009190 | ||

I'd expect they were smaller counties and it'll really balance out once Miami-Dade and Hillsborough come in. | ||
