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..

night swedes

is anyone else still up?

I'm not going to bed until I know for certain.........and yes that could mean no sleep

I'm still here with dd.

High fives everybody, Sally Strawberry last.

I'm still here - although with Ohio called, it's looking a dead cert for Obama

you're not all going to give up and go to bed and abandon me are you???

Lots of quitters in the last 1/2hr or so

I'm staying up for HOURS yet...

...because it's 3.30pm for me.

Watching cheering hordes in Times Square on Sky

DS2 has started vomming so must go and mop. See you all later...

I'm up for a long time, too. It is 6:40 here. I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.

oh good

because I shall stay up all night if I have too !

ABC has Obama at 205. He'll get 73 from the west coast. You do the math.

Hate Sky but flicked it on to watch and the party footage is great.

ooo Virginia is close 50% each!

Is it premature to be cracking the champagne?

and Obama has pulled back to within 20,000 votes in Indiana with 75% in

Hello Must unblock this topic for the night.

sorry strawberry just seen your post. I'm in Beijing.

I'm about to go and see the Hidden City but need to know the results first.

Oh, I don't know sallystrawberry, sounds reasonable to me!

I'll be in for the longhaul, it's only 1.47pm here in Sydney.

Have no Sky, but am flicking between BBC and msnbc live feeds with husband on speakerphone as the live feed's no go at work.

oh good you found us LoR

Right - I am going to get dp up and open a bottle of champagne.

Goodnight.

I LOVE it. On ABC they're interviewing a bunch of Republican Governors, Rudy Giuliani, etc. They're going on and on about how much it must suck, because not only does McCain appear to have lost, the Dems are making big gains in the Senate and Governor's races.

I need sleep but surely it's a good result and I can sleep easily?
