The stream was blacked out when they did, I presumed they were on adverts and restored the stream late.

ITV call Iowa for Obama, Utah for McCain.

I didn't expect to be saying this, but I'm finding that Simon Schama was an excellent choice for the BBC US panel.

I'm also finding Jon Bolton to be the spectacular pr!ck that he always is - it's getting very boring to hear him try to start a fight about everything .
