Here is the official tally for IN.
And here is KY. Specifically, KY-03 and KY-04.
FOX is reporting on their exit poll.
KY 3 Update: 55% in, Northup leads 50-49 Done.
CNN has called some 7:30 races:
OH-GOV: Strickland (D)
WV-SEN: Byrd (D)
It just wasn't the year for Blackwell (R).
[UPDATE - Moe] Indiana: Chocola holding, Sodrel doing all right, Hostettler sinking fast.
[Update - Moe] KY: Northrup out - they'll probably call it soon; Davis still there. IN - Chocula, Sodrell still behind, but time to make that up; Hostlettler gone.

(53.4% reporting)
Anne M. Northup R 63,724 49.6%
John Yarmuth D 63,398 49.3%
update ;-)
When a precinct reports is it included absentees or early votes cast there? Or are these added later?
Frankly, just her being close vitiates against a huge dem tide. She is in a Kerry district and is tied, that CAN'T happen in a huge tidal wave year, it just can't.
I'm very encouraged by her being basically tied with 53% in...
Brad Ellsworth Democrat 19,486 (70%)
John Hostettler (i) Republican 8,223 (30%)
12% in-anyone know which precincts come in early here?
Of the 5 early reporting house seats, 3 in IN and 2 in KY, we are ahead in one Ky and tied in the other, ahead in one IN, slightly behind in one (Sodrel) and losing the other. If we lose one of these 5 seats (Hostetler) and win the other 4, a s seems possible, or if we win 3, as seems likely then that bodes well for Republicans. Most of the house seats are in the east that are supposed to go Dem so we will know soon about the seats in NY and Ohio and Georgia. So far it seems pretty good.

64% reporting:
Yarmuth (D) 74,353 50%
Northup (R) 71,737 49%
she has been able to win in a district that went overwhelmingly against President Bush in 2004.
If she is still that close with 64% reporting I have to think that is a good sign!
The Indystar has Dickerson up 54% to 46% with 28% in - could we somehow steal IN - 07? That would be sweet!
Dickerson's opponent blew a 20 point lead this was supposed to be a solid win for the dems.
If this holds it will be a great upset!

Can someone give an update on Virginia? I've seen 2 different results there on Fox.

go to the right column and pull down the state; better to give you the link than the results at this point.

Starting to get results from 2 of 3 Fla House seats. Buchanan looks good in FL13. FL16 is basically tied (Foley). Nothing from the Clay Shaw seat yet.
Surprised to see the NC seat now tied, Shuler slightly behind. Shuler was supposed to take this one easily.
With 10% reporting, Allen is ahead. Too bad about Blackwell in Ohio. The Ohio Rep. party needs a good shakeup. Toss out the dead wood there.
But just about 50-60% precincts reporting. Still early
"Speaker Pelosi" is pretty much a given. Sigh.
Man, they're screwing things up horribly there. I mean, it's like one minute they show an R up, then 2 screens later, that same R is down. I couldn't stand it anymore.
Result coming in:
(15% reporting)
John Yarmuth D 17,833 51.1%
Anne M. Northup R 16,606 47.6%
