I wonder what he placed his odds of winning at.

Current Sportsbook odds:

Barack Obama
-1200

John McCain
+650

I'm gonna miss Tim Russert's coverage tonight.

Here are the odds of certain scenarios happening.

Me too. I used to watch ABC because of David Brinkley. I watched the NBC election coverage because of Russert. I don't know what network I'll watch tonight. I will flip around to hear the view from the extremes on MSNBC and FOX News.

I'll be sticking with CNN mostly.

John McCain's campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds is in full "Baghdad Bob" mode today. On CNN he proclaimed: "Our polling shows that John McCain is leading or within the margin of error in all the battleground states".

AMC is airing Rocky and Rocky 2........."I shoulda broke your thumb".

"Joe the Plumber" will be on CNN very shortly, taking questions from viewers.
..I may have to switch networks tonight.

I voted and then went to Starbucks for a free coffee.

I was surprised to fill out a paper ballot, then put it into this machine thingy that reads the votes but kind of looks like a paper shredder. I didn't have to wait in line at all.

Just a note about the free Starbucks coffee. Even if you didn't vote, they have to give you the free coffee. By law, they are not allowed to offer anything for voting.

I just saw this, they had to modify it because of the law. Ben and Jerry's is giving out ice cream and Krispy Kreme is giving out donuts.

Let me know if anyone is giving out steaks tonight.

Why do so many of you wait to vote and not take advantage of early voting? I voted two weeks ago. Don't hey have it in Va. and Calif?

From what I see on TV, the voting lines today are MUCH shorter than the early voting lines.

People were waiting up to 6-8 hours for early voting. No wait today...

I take back what I said about CNN having Joe the Plumber on. Rick Sanchez is
destroying him! Wow!

Early voting is not permitted in PA. Absentee ballots are available by mail if you are unable to vote at the polls. I used absentee ballots when I was in law school.

Why can't the candidates vote by absentee ballot? It seems like a tremendous waste of time and energy to fly all the way up to Alaska only to vote and then fly all the way back to Arizona, (or wherever she and McCain are gonna watch the returns).

BTW - The same goes for the Democratic Party candidates.

It's a PR type thing.

Your hard earned tax dollars at work.

That's an awful lot of money wasted on a photo-op.

It's campaign money. What else are they going to do with it now that the campaign's over??

I found out that my Father-in-law through his vote away by not voting for either canidate. He's a life long Dem but he didn't like Obama and refuses to vote for a Rep.

Thanks for pointing that out. In a post about a week or so ago I complimented my fellow Board members on their political acument exprerssed here. However, there still is an appreciable amount of misinformation posted. I would advise all Board members to start by reading (or rereading) the Nation's Constitution. Remember, we are going to go through this all again in four years and it's unlikely that the Constitution will have changed in the interim.

This is my tenth presidential election (in which I was eligible to vote). I think it's the most exciting one yet.

The Drudge Report states that exit polls show Obama up by 15 in PA.

I'm all hopped up on caffine from my 2 free coffees I got today. Can't wait to see our next Prez-Elect.

2? Are you confessing?

No offense, but I see now why the RNC spent money on new clothes for Sarah Palin. I just saw a video of her casting her vote in Alaska. She was dressed in baggy jeans and did NOT look like her usual, well-put-together self. I mean, did she not know that there would be TV cameras there??

Edit: On the other hand, I saw video of Cindy McCain in the most stunning black and white coat. I bet she would be a well-dressed First Lady.
