Crazy to think Obama may carry part of Nebraska. My grandfather who passed away a long time ago was born and raised in the part of Nebraska now included in the 2nd district. He never would have believed a black candidate for President could carry it.
Franken just keeps getting closer and closer. God, I hope we win that.
Might as well add CA-44 to the list, though:

CA-04 doesn’t look good so far. McClintock added 700 votes to his lead.
…for Tom Periello, and, while we’re at it, Tim Kaine and Barack Obama’s team in VA.
Even if Periello ultimately comes up short, I think that he’d be an excellent Undersecretary choice at the State Department.
And if he wins? That would be one of the great, under the radar wins of this year…right up there with Shea-Porter and Boyda of 2006.
And not to be mean or anything, but can we stick a fork in my enthusiasm for Mary Jo Kilroy? Clearly, there’s a problem here in terms of her being a candidate. For whatever reason, she’s not connecting with the people of this district in a way that she should. Do we really want to have to spend the next few cycles spending resources defending her, only to have this haggard recount drama get dragged out every time? Honestly…she’s the only one on the list where, if she loses, I’ll say, “Eh,” with a shoulder shrug.

But Puerto Rico’s At-large non-voting congressional district is another pickup for Dems in Congress. The current representative is affiliated with republicans and the newly elected congressman is affiliated with democrats.
I’m seeing Calvert up by nearly 5,500 votes now in CA-44. Sounds like we lost some more votes there.

Obviously they have more current information than the SoS site does, which still shows a McCain lead.
