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..

Going to hang on until 4am - BBC are predicting great things when the final polls close - except for Alaska.

How many of us are left anyway?

oh I'm still here - I'm hanging on until the bitter end

might catch an hour on the sofa just before the boys get up a bit later........but I want to see the actual results come in - not just projections

Thank god DH isn't working tomorrow night ~ DS will be up probably before I get to bed. Ah well! 3 1/2 mins!!
