On November 8th at this time, Freepers were throwing in the towel in droves. But I knew the early results were going to be favorable to Hillary. By 9:30, the tide had turned and by 11:30, it was pretty clear Trump was going to win (even though it was not called until around 3am).

I don't think it will be that close tonight. The NYT site already has Moore edging ahead and it's not even 9PM yet (ET).

Yup, a person should never get too excited one way or another by the first-early results.

Good point, Sam. If you go to Youtube you can see the hours of taped network election coverage; from 7 to 8:30 the nets are positively joyous over an impending Clinton landslide abetted by the token “Republican” experts they put on like Frank Luntz, Matthew Magoo Dowd, Mark Murphy and that execrable Wilson and Schmitt characters. By 9 they are getting worried (Chris Wallace: “Trump may win this thing”). By 10 pm, it is borderline hysteria with Stephanopolus on ABC accusing Nate Silver of changing his forecast and Silver saying the betting markets are picking Trump. By 11 it is utter terror with Andrea Mitchell bawling from the Javits Center. By 1 am it is abject hatred and bitterness, with the likes of Bush bums like David Frum shrieking their anger at those of us who are uneducated working types who elected Trump. Ha!
