Aww. CNN gives North Dakota to McCain. It was always a long shot, but it would've been nice.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Jesse! I dunno. It still feels kind of dicey to call something based on projections and exit poll analysis, especially after I've read that essay earlier by whasshisface about the unreliability of exit polls.
In states like NY, it would be totally shocking for Obama not to take it, which is why they called it so fast. And they are being more cautious after the Florida clusterfuck.

An irrelevant poll I liked, partly because I picked the same answer as Weingarten.
Which is the best non-sexual physical feeling?
- Relieving oneself of a well-needed no. 1.
- Relieving oneself of a well-needed no. 2.
- Scratching a hard-to-reach itch.
- Eating something good when really hungry.
- A long, scratchy, deep-scalp massage.
- Being held lovingly as you fall asleep.
- Removal of shoes after a long period of walking.
- The feel of cold AC after coming in from serious heat.
- Drinking cold water when parched.

I have a question. Did anyone else have to show ID at their polling place?

I did, Kat.

CNN calls Alabama for McCain. Out on a limb there.
My brother just im'd me that. He pointed out that when he voted in his predominantly black voting district...all the voters were white. He found that striking.

I've never had to before. But I did this time and I even took my state-sent you've changed address card to show I am indeed registered correctly at my new address.

I did not show ID, just signed the signature page.

“Not dead yet!”
I have a question. Did anyone else have to show ID at their polling place?
I did. And had to provide an electronic signature as comparison. None of which I minded because it was policy.
