In 2008, Obama won Florida's Orange County (Orlando) 59-41. Right now, he is winning it... 59-41.

I'm not covering the raw vote counts in these battleground states because they shift based on what reports. I'm more interested in benchmark counties. If we do better in them than 2008, we win.
5:41 PM PT: With 61 percent reporting, Obama is winning Hillsborough County (FL) 52-47. To win Florida, our handy dandy benchmark chart says we must win it ... 52-47.
5:42 PM PT: With Chris Murphy winning in Connecticut, remember this -- Joe Lieberman is officially history. We retired him.
5:45 PM PT: Obama is winning Florida 50.7-48.5 with 34.8 percent in, and no Miami-Dade or Broward in.
5:46 PM PT:
If FL trend holds, Obama squeaks by w/ win. Best case for Romney narrow win, which does not bode well for Romney elsewhere.
