    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.

    TRUE about DD! I don't know why I was spending so much on Starsucks!

    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.
