Huh.

Nation could face short election night.

I'm not counting my chickens, but it'd be nice to have a short election night, at least for me. I have to work that night and they won't let us listen to the radio, so somebody -- one of you, my brother, somebody -- is going to have to text me the results. Which kinda sucks, but at the same time it's probably a good thing. If by some miracle (considering pretty much every projection's saying Obama will win handily) McCain took it, it's probably a good thing I'm far, far away from the internet, the TV, and am pretty much cut off from anybody saying anything stupid, which is bound to happen.

I hope they do wait until polls close before reporting. I hate those breathless updates. I think they sway some people in whether they'll vote or not, and that shouldn't be.

I don't know if I have your current cell #, but I'd be happy to text you :D

(From the article)

Paul Friedman, CBS News senior vice president, said he has started to think “about what we could do to augment our Senate and House coverage on election night if the presidential story is over."

YA THINK?? Not like those races have, you know, any BEARING on what might actually occur under the new administration. *sigh*

I have to say, if the race gets called for Obama before Alaska is done voting, I will not cry :D
