live-blogging the election returns

7:27  CST – I love rootbeer.

7:28 – I'm watching the returns on CNN because they are home of hologram analysts and I'm hoping Jem shows up.

7:32 – I have heard the phrase "white knuckles" twice. I predict this to be the phrase of the night.

7:35 – John King needs to move over and let my pretend boyfriend Anderson Cooper tell it.

7:37 – OMG a CNN reporter just added something by hand with no use of a calculator. No child left behind, y'all.

7:41 – who is going to see this Lincoln movie? Didn't Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer cover everything?

7:43 – Mittens is leading the President by 10 Electoral votes. 

7:45 – Did you see that New Jersey has allowed voting via emailing someone's Hotmail account? Someone's going to sue over that. You know they will.

7:47 – Wolf: "why do they always have problems counting votes in Palm Beach Co, Florida? You'd think in this day and age…" 

7:51 – they're talking about the long lines to vote and that Virginia may not close polls until midnight because of how many people are still waiting in lines. I will take this time to remind my readers that I waited for over four hours while eight months pregnant OUTSIDE in Georgia to vote in 2000, then we didn't know who won for a month. I predict we will have recounts and such after tonight as well, but without Dan Rather.

8:00 – Mittens has a projected 152 Electoral votes, Obama has 123. 270 to win. 

8:05 – let's all remember that "projected votes" are just that.

8:17 – you would think all of the United States was in Florida.

8:19 – where do I get one of these giant touchscreens?

8:30 – out of the mouths of Wolves: "is this a repeat of 2000?!"

8:34 – I'm pretty sure they just said "Rap-a-ho" county. 

8:39 – I voted for Robert Downey Jr and Thor.

8:44 – were all of the people working in your polling place 80 years old too? one of the women was yelling the spellings of names to a man with a hearing aid. it was like going to Picadilly at 4:30 in the afternoon.

8:57 – a reporter in Iowa named Poppy. I love that name. and Piper. and Pepper. does that make me weird.

9:00 – bored. they shouldn't have coverage of the returns until at least 10.

9:16 – yea! James Carville. finally.

9:18 – "if you look at Florida, the President is winning with non-Cuban Hispanics," some CNN chick. why report that?

9:31 – Mittens is ahead in the popular vote. we shall see.

9:39 – until there is more info, I'm leaving you with this (beacuse hell if it isn't all I'm seeing anyway):
