Tonight's Forecast is Partly Cloudy, with Impending Gloom. The overall mood is Draconian

I begin an evening of liveblogging (or semi-live blogging), by telling you that security around the Arizona Biltmore Hotel is as tight or tighter than it was for many of President Bush's interminable visits.

Yep, it's 5 PM Arizona Time, 2 hours before the polls close, and time for the Overture to the Viking Funeral that is the John McCain for President Campaign.

The polls have closed in Kentucky, and most of Indiana. Neither state has been called, though it looks like McCain will probably roll to victory in Kentucky, while Obama currently has a slim lead in Indiana.

Indiana is one of those states where an Obama victory spells trouble for McCain. It's been a reliably Republican state Nixon beat Humphrey in 1968. Obama is looking to put an end to that tonight. Polls are about to close in a few more states, so keep your head down, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
