Computers are so much more efficient! It only took it seconds to screw everything up after being elected - even George Bush wasn't able to move at that kind of speed. Baziron  |

Is this going to be our official "waffle while awaiting the results" room? I don't want to be in the McCain room, but am too nervous to be in the Obama room...

Evidently Dixville Notch has declared for Obama. I've never heard of this place before, but the bf informs me it's a tiny place in New Hampshire that has a tradition of opening the polls at midnight. Everyone votes immediately and the decision is declared straight away. This year they had 17 registered voters - and 17 voting booths.
They usually vote Republican.

Some of us are not actually "awaiting" the result as such - we shall merely note what it is with varying degrees of bewilderment. However, for those who languish in a state of trepidation, this is a good place to hang out.   Baziron |

Just checking in briefly. I am sitting with friends, watching CNN - FAR superior to the Beeb droning and ho-humming that expect to emanate from the lips of Dimblebys etc. later. Wolf Blitzer is election night God. Don't know how long I'll last, but the corn fritters were delicious, can I just say. |

Corn fritters, yum! Did they have chilli in them?
I don't get CNN, just the BBC and Sky News, which I never watch.
Everyone's going on and on about the long lines. A friend in LA stood in line for 90 minutes this morning to vote.
I suppose it'll be hours yet before much of substance happens...

Not quite - some interesting nuggets emerging from the BBC:
75% turnout in Virginia
and apparently many young voters don't have landline phones and can't be polled - which could mean that the polls are underestimating the Obama vote.
Can't get CNN to work on line. Grump.

I missed that 75% turnout in VA snippet. Took a break to watch the Monty Python Election Special on youtube...
I'd post a link except the sound quality was terrible and someone who didn't know how to spell British place names added stupid captions.

Difficult to know what to do, just turned on CNN, seems there is 1% separating them. TV in different room from puter though. Shall I stay up or not? Don't have to go to work in the morning.
Just seen, although I do not do cartoons, the funniest, dirtiest, campest, cartoon ever. Some things the Americans do well.

MT, it was on BBC 3, but not available for look again. I had never heard of it before but have found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy I was just creased up with laughter. However, back to the election. I was sure, but not so sure now Marty, any of them old corn fritters going begging? If I am to stay up I need sustaining!! |
