I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

No prob. I may be a leetle obsessive today (7 tabs of coverage up and counting). At least until I go to get my root canal, but I'll have Twitter up and tracking during that. Anything to distract me from the drilling.

Billytea, others, what sites do you recommend following? I am at work on a public desk, so no sound, and due to the computer settings (that I do not control) sometimes video doesn't stream in any case. Where's good?

(Besides here, natch.)

Laughing Squid's got a pretty long blogroll. I've got FiveThirtyEight up, of course, but also Daily Kos, CNN, the Guardian UK, and HuffPo.

I voted around 11:30 and there was no line at all. Then I went to the Farmer's Market and it had lots of people in Obama-wear.

"They're only voting for Obama so they can have free welfare."

Welfare in the classic sense ended during the Clinton administration. Could we send these people to the Wizard to get brains?

Ok guys, I'm up and logged in to a half dozen or so election websites. Go ahead and elect Senator Government.

See, billy-- we waited for you!

Any Chicagoistas who can't bear to watch the results come in and need a break tonight can get half-off tickets for Jersey Boys, Wicked, or Dirty Dancing tonight. And you'll be downtown afterwards for the festivities at Grant Park!

Thanks, megan. I plan to be Percoset-ed up tonight, which should make watching the returns interesting.

Oh g*d, Dave Ramsey is taking calls from people about whom they voted for. Unsurprisingly, most of them voted for McCain, but the really upsetting thing is that many of them cited Obama's "socialism" as the reason.
