Election Day!

15 minutes until the first polls close. It’s a quarter ’til midnight and I plan on waiting up until a winner is announced!

I mailed my absentee ballot over a month ago right here:

and I have been anxiously awaiting for the rest of America to cast their ballots. My prediction is Obama with 360 electoral votes. We’ll see.

12:24 AM:

The news outlets are reporting the Indiana & Kentucky results. With only 1% of precincts reporting. How useless is that?

1:00 AM:

CNN Projects Vermont for Obama and Kentucky for McCain. McCain leads 8-3.

1:52 AM:

If Wolfie Blitzer points out, “We’re doing the math for you” one more time, I think I will become a Fox News viewer.

Okay, that’s a bluff. They don’t have FNN over here.

1:20 AM:

Obama leads 77-31. PA, FL, OH still up for grabs.

2:43 AM:

PA is being called for Obama. That puts him ahead 102-34.

Seems a little early to call, but what the hell.

FL is leaning toward Obama.

4:00 AM:

Still awake! Obama is now leading 199-78. Ohio goes to Obama. I think it’s time to bring the fat lady on stage. Who’s left? FL, TX, CA, VA….

And now Iowa to Obama & Kansas to McCain: 206-89

In other election news, Al Franken may become a US senator.

5:00 AM:

Not much has changed besides the shocker of McCain winning Texas. 207-135. FL & VA should be called soon.

And poof! There goes VA to Obama. 220-135. Looks like the Republicans will hold on to McCain’s senate seat.

Polls close in Kollifornya in a few seconds.

And the other shoe drops. CNN has called the election. We have elected the first African-American to the highest office in the land.
