Live-Blogging--No. 2

CNN calls Senate races for Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire and Tom Udall in New Mexico. It's been called for Susan Collins from Maine as well. I was a year behind Collins at St. Lawrence during the early 70's.

Wolf Blitzer is back on the air and Obama has clinched 174 electoral votes to 49 for McCain.

But William Schneider is reminding me of why I don't miss television.

He's asking a question about the impact of race on the election but what he's saying would be a lot more significant if he had broken down "racial attitudes" by race.

The students sitting next to me start having a conversation about race. The consensus is that electing Obama will bring an early surge of white racism but that it would peter out.
