Live odds: 11 pm

Here are McCain and Obama's chances (according to Intrade's state-by-state numbers) of getting various minimum numbers of electoral votes at 11 pm. CNN has called VA and the election for Obama, and that seems not unreasonable at this point. It remains to be seen how many electoral votes he'll get.

Each candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win outright, and a tie at 269 that throws it into the House isn't impossible.
