Of course, non-yanks can post away about any old shite, to their hearts' content. :D

    As it's already started, we should bet on how many individual threads are made celebrating one's voting ;)

    There will be live online streaming of MSNBC's coverage, outside the US, tonight. It wouldn't be election night without the spectacle of Olbermann's massive head, and Chris Matthews salivating all over the camera. :D

    I hope they have that giant floor map of the states where the anchor has to stand on the right one depending on which results just came in. And they have crap computer graphics of how many voted which way. I love those things :D

    They used to have the late, great Tim Russert with his whiteboard. I think Chuck Todd's doing the Peter Snow-type swingometer routine!

    There's the best polling site (I reckon):

    Now, here's some random AET-relevant data: did you know Obama supports West Ham?

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    When you have a campaign that lasted almost as long as the term for president, you would be a little hyper too. Plus can't afford the good coffee anymore so drinking high octane Dunkin Donuts.

    High octane Dunkin Donuts IS the good coffee.

    After a campaign that long I wouldn't be hyper, I would be pissed off :p

    I couldn't wait to go out and vote this morning and for the first time in years, I actually had to wait in line.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    IMPORTANT: Make sure you bring a cup of joe and your ipod when you go to vote. I got to start at a brick wall for 60 minutes while I waited.

    Well to have the campaign over is a huge relief!

    The lines for early voting were insane...it actually takes place on the first floor of the building I work in. I did mail in though.

    i truly wish we had these differing options.
    the 'mail in' option does worry me though, b/c how do you *know* they received your vote and counted it? after all the BS the past 2 presidental elections, it does make me wary/suspicious. i've heard the lines for voting have been insane....period. i hope i don't have to wait too long...but you bet i will!

    You can always drop off your mail-in ballot :)

    I'm sure you'll have to wait, esp if you go after work. But it will be worth it!

    well i am hoping since i probably won't get there until about 7:30...hopefully most of the after work rush will be gone. eh well. at least i go with hubby, so have some company to pass the time. :)



    and i seriously cannot believe these other voting options exist elsewhere and not in NY. i always thought we were such a progressive state. :p


    i want my sticker and free ice cream too!
    :D

    Bossy, bossy, bossy. When did this bossiness come into play? Ohwheeee, and from someone across the pond no less.

    I spent 3 hours in line to cast my vote. Brrrrrr. I feel really sorry if anyone in states where it's 40 or below has to wait outside. At least it didn't start to rain, yet.
