quick thought... November 8th, 2006 - 3:42AM
I don’t care if it turns out to be 6am, I’m staying up until Montana and Virginia are called. I can’t express how proud I am to live in a functioning democracy, where the vibe of the people is represented in actual polling results. Steve Gilliard said it best: “Americans are better than our fears. Tonight proved that.”

Still awake, huh?
I went to bed at 1 a.m., when they were saying that Virginia’s provisional ballots wouldn’t even be counted until this morning. I see that Webb has widened his lead overnight from about 2,500 to about 7,500, but the provisionals could still be the margin of victory. So go to sleep. That race won’t be decided today.
i know. i passed out at 5am…
I had a ball jockeying between the county sites. The NCSBOE was worthless. And some of the Counties didn’t publish on their site. I hated the scrolling results on Durham’s site. I never saw Robin Hayes coming, but did OK on the rest.
