Someone I know on Twitter is watching the election returns with her 3 year old, who is hopped up on candy
That's hilarious.
Meanwhile, Dillo seems to have a violent hatred of Mitt Romney, and really, we're pretty moderate when we discuss politics in front of the kids. It's surprising me.
I remember being TERRIFIED in 1980, when I would have been almost 7. I think it's hard when you know what's happening is Important, but that's about all.
OK, Daily Kos and Yahoo's home page have the EV split at 63-40 for Obama. My neighbor here in the cubicle farm is gleefully saying "And Romney's at 78!" Is he reading Red State or something?
Noah voted for Romney in his school poll because Romney has 5 sons. Sigh. When I said I voted for Obama he went all quiet. He asked why and I said Obama supported families like ours... After all Obama is the only boy with 3 girls too.

When I was in second grade we did a vote for the election, I guess it was Carter v Reagan but there was another candidate and I voted for him because he looked like my grandfather.

This was why Mal was a McCain voter last time.
I'm listening to NPR and watching the local Fox station with the sound off. I will be here with you as long as I can be. I ingesting much chocolate and some alcohol, and junk food in general.
I will be switching to the Daily Show when they go live.
Overall, things sound good for Obama. (Reading Kos and Sullivan's live-blogging.)
My glass of lambic is gone, do I move to beer or wine?
