The result in Dixville Notch is hardly a reliable bellwether for the eventual winner of the White House -- or even the result statewide.
It's funny that CNN felt it necessary to add that comment.

well, this is quite exciting! when will the final results be out?
Polls close at 8pm, then there will be the inevitable recounts and lawsuits, and the electoral college doesn't vote until December 15th.

For those that do not have access to the stats and results, or how it all pans out here is a good site for this.

Or you can just keep an eye on this thread, I will try update the results as I get them.
Results start in a few minutes...
-
Early lead to McCain.
Kentucky goes to McCain (confirmed) 8 electoral votes
Vermont to Obama (confirmed) 3 electoral votes
The winner needs to get 270 or more electoral votes to win.
-
too many results to call one on one, however as far as the tally goes...
Obama 103
McCain 34
Electoral votes (remember 270 is target for win)
Important to note Pennsylvania is Obama's, Mccain needed this BAD!
-
175 - 70... 95 more

Watching on the BBC (now 02:25)

Yet another McCain need to win.
Looking good for BO right now, but let's not get too excited.

Congratulations Solo,
Here in Canada, the majority is also very happy!!!
-
I am so happy! Now the good works begin...yeh!
-
Congratulations America!
-
Congratulations to Obama - the better campaigner won. We'll have to wait and see what he does as President.
-
Thanks Rick, I now hope he walks the talk.
-
I feel the same as I did the day I received my Architectural License....Elation soon gives way to the realization that I still had to go to work tomorrow.....
Well We all have to go to work tomorrow and for Barack it's no different except that his job just got eminently more difficult. He is going to need a lot of help. It's in all of our best interest to insure that he is successful.
So Let me be the first to offer up my commitment to do my part to be more inclusive in my political comments.
I do hope that Barack congratulates John McCain for his efforts and welcomes him into his list of trusted advisors.
-
Great to hear that Obama has it sewn up. It may be just what Americans [and indeed, the rest of the world] need right now....
Here's to positive momentum.
