Let’s see. I’ve been watching early returns trickle in slowly, and I feel like drinking (regardless of who wins).
It doesn’t help my sobriety to see that Stephen Green is drunkblogging the results, but the final blow was what Glenn Reynolds said here:
AFTER YOU’VE VOTED, knock back an Obama Mama or a Maverick Martini. Or three. I plan to drink heavily tonight, whatever transpires. And, possibly, for the next four years.
The problem is, I voted from 8:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. this morning. I always try to follow Glenn’s health tips, but I’m glad he waited till 7:00 p.m. to tell me this, or I’d be blotto by now.
Moreover, I’ll be making an appearance on PJTV’s election coverage in an hour or so. Readers who are curious to see what I look and sound like might want to tune in. Whether you miss me or not, it’s free all evening and there will be plenty of superstar bloggers.
As of right now (according to Fox News, with ), McCain is ahead, but will it last?
Here are the latest Drudge figures:
RESULTS:
FLORIDA…
INDIANA…
N CAROLINA…
OHIO…
VIRGINIA…
MCCAIN 512,172
OBAMA 486,922
It’s way to early to tell anything.
I’m a nervous wreck, but I’m trying to stay sober as long as I can.
Again, I predict predictions.
MORE: and now Obama is ahead.
RESULTS:
FLORIDA…
INDIANA…
N CAROLINA…
OHIO…
VIRGINIA…
OBAMA 1,220,130
MCCAIN 1,171,030
I’m not going to be posting blow by blow.
Drink by drink sounds more like it.
MORE: Fox projected SC, WV, TN, for McCain, and projects MA, ME, NH, CT, DC, NJ, and DE for Obama (at least, the boards show him winning, which is no surprise).
I’m noticing that Pennsylvania and Ohio are too close to call — which is not what the polls have been suggesting.
New Hampshire is called for Obama.
MORE: The overall picture — especially the popular vote — is looking closer than the polls predicted.
Considering the apparent poll discrepancies, if Obama wins by a close margin, I hope the Democrats don’t act like “sore winners”….
UPDATE (the next morning): Drinking heavily is winning in Glenn Reynolds’ poll.

We caught you on PJTV tonight. That was really some excellent commentary, even if that is coming from a sometime collaborator.
Unfortunately Joe Hicks said “Classic” rather than “Classical.”
Hi Dennis, glad you liked it! (I was nervous but I guess I can relax now and watch the rest of the election disaster unfold.)
I’m hitting the bourbon. H*ll, d*mn and f*ck. See you in the reeducation camp, comrades. I didn’t think this country could be bought on petro dollars and a slavish media. I was wrong.
P.
Please pass this along…Time is limited, Thank You

The President is NOT OFFICIALLY elected according to the Constitution UNTIL the Electoral College meets to cast their votes, which is Dec 15, 2008. PLEASE STUDY THE LINK PROVIDED SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ELECTROAL COLLEGE IS AND DOES. MANY POSTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN SAID IN IGNORANCE. THIS MUST STOP.

We have time but not much time to still force Obama to present the original vault copy and have a team of forensic scientists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensics make scientific tests that are accepted by courts, to insure that the BC was produced on or around 1961 when Obama was born. This would prove to all that Obama was or wasn’t a native born American. IMO, all debate, but not all legal action (lawyers want the big bucks involved), should stop by all fair-minded people whether pro or con Obama
