US Election Watch - we'll be here for a while!

[taliac]

After the success of the all day / night London Election party we had earlier in the year, who fancies one for the US election?

Lots of nothing news so far from the US - some polling stations have long queues, but others don't! John McCain says tomorrow he "will be the President of the United States!" Sarah Palin is "very optimistic!" Hilary Clinton is predicting a big Obama win! Obama has been playing basketball!

Its going to be a good one..

i didn't hate simon....but then i watched his history of america which seemed to involve at least 75% of his mug and walk in the footage.

Policywonk - I like him too.

I have to do a 2 hour market research group at 10am- really should go to bed! but won't

Oh goodness, I just dug out my ergo and looked at the bus schedule - extra ones on til 2 am...

oooo 36% in Florida 52% Obama

Go Superbunny Go!!!
have lots of fun

haha. yes.

oh GOD IT'S FUCKING JOHN SIMPSON. surely it isn't dangerous seeming enough for him...or is he going to claim that he won obama the election?

Right i'm going to try and fit into my bed and listen to the radio with headphones I need to be horizontal if not asleep. night all.

Good news: They said that there are several counties left in Indiana that haven't even started counting votes yet, and those should go Obama's way.

lol sophable

night ledodgy x

I thought Simpson was resigning in general disgust at everything?

Slur - I know it is exciting but they can't be picking up the vibes in their sleep can they?

Well done for changing the sheets and getting her back to bed - DS2 is installed in the spare room! Mind you he has wet his duvet too so a return to his own bed is out of the question.

Where are these result??? Big flurry earlier and now nothing for half an hour.

Superbunny - Go with your child and take a camera - it's clear you want to go. It really is history in the making. The atmosphere will be magic - go and be part of it.

Right now I have to go to bed DS will be up in 6 hours and I have someone coming at 9!

resigning from a darkened place right in the middle of somewhere so extremely dangerous that he can't show us where he is i bet. arse.

My BF is in Indiana, reporting! V exciting

102/34 NOW ON cnn!

103 to 49 on the BBC

ooo 41% in Florida - Obama 51%

Yes, the networks have called Georgia for McCain

you know I know that there's stupid amounts of money thrown at the campaigns, and they do have a rather odd system (sorry to all you from across the water - but I do find it odd that they can win the popular vote but not become president ) -

BUT - does't it just put the general apathy to voting/elections here in the UK to shame. Those people are so excited by it - it's a massive thing - people

Are there children in one of the BBC reporting venues? I keep hearing crying & thinking it's dd but when I go up it isn't.
