Yeah, OK. Kerry ahead by 16 in PA.

That's because they don't know how to find any polling places outside Philly or Pittsburgh. The last time my county voted for a Democrat for president was in 1964.
That must be why all those Rock the Vote concerts and Kerry / Edwards rallies we kept hearing about never got within two hours of where I live. At least Easy Ed Rendell
tried to cover the "T" when he ran.......
EDIT: Ah, now I get it - at 9:20 EST, I saw Hoeffel leading Specter by 100,000 votes. That tells me the early PA returns HAVE to be from the cities.... hell, even the PA AFL-CIO endorsed Specter. A Hoeffel win would be one of the great upsets of all time.
Anecdotal evidence on the timeframe involved - when I clerked the '88 election, we didn't even get our numbers to the county courthouse until just before midnight..... and this is in a district with maybe 1200 registered voters, lever machines, and probably fewer than 100 absentee ballots to count.....
