No projections in Midwest and western battleground states. Electoral vote tally is Bush 155, Kerry 112.

Florida not looking real good for Kerry in early count. So far the huge turnouts aren't affecting outcomes, and the Bushies are saying votes are better for them than exit polls suggest.

Update on PA: it's only one precinct in Pittsburgh staying open until 930, to file provisional ballots, according to CNN. It is near University of Pittsburgh---probably my niece Sarah's polling place.

The hope that this wouldn't be a long night is fading.
