4:11 PM PT: Want good news? We need good news. Here's good news.

PASCO: @CharlieCrist beating Rick Scott in Pasco County: 47.39 to 45.52. @fasanomike
— @KevinCate
Crist needed to LOSE it by less than six points to be on track to win the state. He's winning it.
4:13 PM PT: Charlie Crist is outperforming Obama for now. By 6% in Pinellas County AND Pasco County. Scott won Pasco County 52-43 in 2010, currently losing it 47-46.

Update: 4:16 PM PT: Woah, big dump in Palm Beach County. Crist up 62-35. He needs to hit at least 58.

Remember, Republicans won the early vote as far as ballots returned, which means that independents are going heavily to Crist.

update: 4:25 PM PT: The breakdown of the early vote in Florida was 42.6 GOP, 39.5 DEM. Yet Democrat Charlie Crist is winning the early vote by over 20 points. Did ANY independent vote for Republican incumbent Gov. Rick Scott?

5. Yep

At least we know this won't be totally blowout by republicans.

Maybe Crist can be a sign for other states.

9. Crist leading

52 - 44 according to ABC Florida (between Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy) - didn't get votes counted

[book_worm]

10. Oh yeah!!!

11. Another tweet:

1,6 million ballots have been counted in #FLGov, and Crist leads by 9%.

That's half of the early vote, which was R+3.

12. Update: GOP official doesn't think things look good in FL

4:45 PM PT: With 42 percent reporting in Florida, Charlie Crist retains a 49-46 lead. The good news? Nothing yet from Dem-heavy Miami-dade county.

RT @JoeNBC: GOP official in Florida just told me, "The early numbers look good for Charlie. I don't know if we can pull this off.” #FlaPol
