Everything has gone exactly to (realistic) expectations thus far. Most of the states that decide the election are still voting.

I'm not sure how much I can watch, tonight, either. I may just have to stick to DU. At least I can keep current that way, among friends and fellow Dems.

Can't stand the suspense. Same reason I don't gamble. Sure, I'll check in from time to time, but generally go about my business. My partner is an adrenaline junky and into it start to finish. I'll turn in and she'll wake me up at 2am to tell me what happened. Good system we have.

Billy Beane was GM for the Oakland A's back in the day and the focus of the movie Money Ball.

I'm either going to watch basketball or a movie or anything that's not politics. I'll think about that tomorrow (to quote Scarlett O'Hara).
