McCain to concede election to Barack Obama?

Word is that John McCain will be conceding the 2008 election to Barack Obama shortly. He may beat the networks to it since many of them are rather slowly projecting the outcome in Western states at this point.

The polls are due to close on the Left Coast in five minutes. Stay tuned for live, comprehensive coverage from the NPI team.

Here's what happening at McCain's "victory" party in Arizona:

Now someone is onstage saying the race is dead even, but John McCain and Arizona’s junior senator and McCain’s water carrier Jon Kyl basically concede. Kyl complains that he’s lost several friends in the Senate to “the radicals on the left,” and, “It’s still too close to call!”

But by the end of his remark, he was urging the crowd, “Those of you who have passes should head to the lawn.”

A sure sign that a concession is near.

Even we've been invited to the lawn. It must really be over.

Oh, boo hoo, Jon Kyl. You'll get over it.
