Election day wrapup
Nov. 7th, 2006 10:33 pmGlad y'all all voted. I did it last week, absentee, because I worked the polls today. At some point I'd like to really talk about it, but it was a LONG day - got there at 6 am, left the building at 8:45 pm to realize that my car's battery was dead, finally left to come home at 9:30.
( Basic impression, though )
Also? Michael Steele's poll watchers were assholes and I'm delighted to see him lose. LOTS of poll watchers today, but his were the only ones who were difficult. *shocked gasp*, I know.
ETA: Also, OMG. Marc has a color-coded Excel spreadsheet of the top 60-ish Congressional races in play tonight, the last few poll numbers (he tracks NPR, Sabato, CQ, Cook, Todd, Rothenberg and electoral-vote.com), and their outcomes tonight and he is sitting here obsessively updating and tweaking. I knew he was playing fantasy Congress the waynormal way less awesome people play fantasy football, but damn! That is some hardcore poligeek, yo.
Now that I have had sugar and am seeing more numbers come in - *smirks like Shrub*. Maryland's a bit more blue tonight and OMG the current projections for the House are insane.
ETA2: Dan Rather quotes Pink Floyd on Stewart/Colbert's Midterm Midtacular. Layers upon layers, my friends.
