So, I thought for funsies, how ’bout some live blogging for election night. Let me be your Katie Couric for the night, or at least until I get bored.
8:08 — Obama has 174 Electoral votes, McCain has 49. The Obama camp is chilling the champagne.
8:12 — Looks like McCain will lose Pennsylvania, a state he campaigned hard in. Whoops.
8:14 — What is it about Brian Williams from NBC that gets on my nerves?
8:16 — It’s either the hair or the voice or both. Commercial.
8:17 — Let’s check Facebook. Oh, look, Scott’s quoting Sting.
8:20 — Back to the election. The map’s looking colorful. Some guy will defeat some other guy in some state in Kentucky. It was a fierce battle. Wolf Blitzer is fierce.
8:22 — Bring on Anderson Cooper. There he is, looking good for the big night. I’m voting for Anderson for cutest newsguy.
8:24 — Why are they showing Hank Williams, Jr? Is there a football game on tonight, too? Why does he always wear sunglasses?
8:34 — Molly came downstairs because her loose tooth is bothering her. I gave her Tylenol and sent her back to bed. Better stay there, too, this is an important night for tv.
8:41 — CNN projects Obama to win Ohio. No Republican in modern times has been elected president without winning Ohio. I believe Lincoln was the last one, but that was a long, long time ago. CNN guy with the magic board says he would need a miracle to win. Bet McCain started praying.
8:44 — The Senate is going blue. Oh, here’s one of the commericals that’s all sciencey and all I hear is “wah wah wah wah wah.”
8:47 — What the hell is wine consignment? Can you put wine on consignment? Why not just buy it in a store like everyone else? Whatev.
8:49 — They’re projecting McCain to win Louisiana. Not surprized. Bring back my boyfriend Anderson Cooper.
8:52 — I know they say Anderson’s gay, but he’s cute. The silver fox of tv anchors. Tell me all about the election, Anderson.
8:55 — I don’t know if Scott’s going to read this or if he knows about my celebrity crush on Anderson Cooper, but I don’t think he has anything to worry about. I don’t think I’m Anderson’s type anyway.
9:01 — Wolf Blitzer and his beard are talking about going home once Obama gets to 270 votes. Oh, Wolf, you can’t do that, Anderson says. David Gergen says Obama will have to decide if he wants to unite the country. Brilliant idea.
9:05 — How do I become a political pundit? I think I could do that. Plus, I’d get to hang out with Anderson and play with that magic board. I want one of those.
9:08 — James Carville kind of looks like Golum from Lord of the Rings, but he sounds kind of like Foghorn Leghorn.
9:09 — The pundits are about to fight. Cool. There is yelling. Calm down white boy in the blue tie.
9:12 — Arkansas goes to McCain. Shocker. Commercial. I have a toothache, where did that come from. Still never had a cavity at 34. I think it’s my wisdom tooth trying to come in. This happens every once in a while. Weird, huh?
9:19 — The magic board again. I think any minute Foghorn Carville is going to run up the the magic board and mess it all up.
9:22 — Another big shock, McCain wins Texas. Did anyone think Obama had a chance in Texas? No. The cowboys aren’t voting for Obama.
9:46 — Oh, hell to the no. I took a little break to put Andrew to bed and now Anderson’s talking to a hologram of WILL.I.AM (rapper) old school Star Wars style. Where’s R2-D2? Oh, no. Anderson said there will be more holograms ahead. This is creepy.
9:50 — There’s the science “wah wah” commerical again. Oh, it’s for Exxon-Mobil. What? I still don’t know what the guy’s talking about.
9:55 — The CNN people are saying age was probably a bigger figure in the election than race. Hmmm.
9:59 — Wolf and his beard said Virginia goes to Obama. Now they’re projecting Obama will win. Wow. They’re showing the crowd in Chicago — they’re going crazy.
10:06 — The crowds are still going crazy. I actually wasn’t on the Obama bandwagon, but I get it. I wasn’t for McCain either, and am glad the Bush period is over. The pundits are kind of stunned. They really don’t know what to say and are somber.
10:14 — Just saw Jesse Jackson and now Al Sharpton. Jesse was peeking over someone’s head. You’d think he’d be on tv tonight.
10:18 — McCain’s concession speech. People booed when he said he called Obama. That was rude.
10:21 — Decent speech. I’m out. Going to go talk to friends on Facebook. See y’all tomorrow.
And peeps, I’ve read the comments, y’all play nice. There’s enough democracy for everyone.

To Whom It May Concern;
How can I not be scared when the rights of the unborn are no more, the sanctity of marriage is more threatened now than ever, my second amendment rights will be taken away, the backbone of our country is punished with higher taxes which negatively effects the middle class undeservingly rewarding the non working class. He wants to bankrupt 50% of the nations power. We are facing the worst dive away from morality and integrity ever. All of this will be taken care of by a man who is completely and totally inexperienced and by his judges who want to “Shake things up”, rather than uphold the constitution. Skin color has NOTHING to do with my opinion. It has to do with my belief that he does not have the integrity to uphold Christian values and the Constitution. Despite all of this I am able to say that I am proud to be a part of a country that could put race aside and put an African American in the highest office in the land.
Thank You.

AB, Im glad you got to this before me. You were alot nicer. I too am proud to be part of this country who put race aside, however, I am afraid that the race thing was a huge issue in this election. And not by the people who are always being accused of being racist. By the ones who are always claiming to be victims. And no people, do not try to deny it. Have you not watched the interviews on the internet and television? My favorite has to be the woman who claimed that she wasnt going to have to worry about her house note or gas in her car when Obama got elected. What the hell? I dont remember him saying he was going to pay for your shit. However, in your warped mind, thats what you got. And what about the old farts who claim to never have voted in their lives. And you come out NOW? And no, they werent white. So again, do not deny your reasons for voting for Obama. You are racist. Admit it. I am afraid for middle class America. Being in this category, my family has worked hard for what we have. I might as well go out and give half of my shit away today. But before I do, I will get down on my knees and pray to God that things will all work out. Remember Him? He’ll be the one that our new President will never mention. Whatever.
