You mean kind of like the "landslide" the exit pollsters had lined up for Kerry by the afternoon of Election Day 2004? Like that?

I remember going to my parent's house at about 5pm central on election day 2004. They were in a near panic watching a very ashen Brit Hume talk about the runaway exit polls showing Kerry ran away with the election.

If they thought Kerry would have been bad, what do they think of Obama?

I remember going to my parent's house at about 5pm central on election day 2004. They were in a near panic watching a very ashen Brit Hume talk about the runaway exit polls showing Kerry ran away with the election.

I missed all of that because it was the middle of the night here. I woke up to everyone waiting on Ohio and Kerry refusing to concede. I was literally pacing back and forth watching it in our office later that morning. At about 6 p.m. our time, Kerry finally gave it up and the relief on our base was palpable.

The results this year will likely be firmed up in the middle of the night for us. I'm already imagining how nervous I'll be before turning on the TV when I get up the morning of November 5. I'll have to squeeze my eyes shut, take a deep breath and just do it.

I still have very bad memories of doing just that in 2006...
