Election Night

November 4, 2008 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

You know, I don’t think I’d rewatch The West Wing often enough to justify dropping the cash for the entire series DVD set. (Probably.) But there are times when I’d like to have myself a little marathon, and tonight’s one of them.

Oh, well, I’ll watch TV instead.

Dan Rather: “The checkmark next to her name means we’re prepared to call the election in her favor.” Thanks for belaboring that point, Cap’n Obvious. You let me know when you’re ready to call those solid blue states for Obama.

PA? PA!

McCain has to be on oxygen right now, even knowing that a big chunk of his votes are in the West and report in a little later.

UK residents going by the Guardian’s reporting think Texas might be swinging blue, because the Guardian is reporting a few counties from downtown Austin, and they think the capital must be representative. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, how I wish.

Fuck me, Arizona is too close to call?! My schadenfreude knows no bounds.

9pm Central; fivethirtyeight.com has called it — and so far, its projection map has been dead on.
