America votes 2008: election update 3

It's all about those southern Senate seats...

Republican Elizabeth Dole — a politician I have particular disdain for — has lost her Senate seat in North Carolina, giving the Democrats another win. As an analyst on CNN noted, this is a major change: the holder of Dole's seat before she was elected? Ultra-conservative bigot Jesse Helms.

The race in Georgia is looking competitive, with the potential for a Democratic win there.

Kentucky remains up in the air.

15 states' polls will be closing in one minute. Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida have still not been definitively called (Ohio results are coming in very slowly).
