Let's try to consolidate threads so we can all read along tonight!

[mystery-ak]

Thanks for the ping....had a bath, got my jammies on, sugar-free cherry kool-aid and cigs near-by....Im ready!

BTW....Im a nervous wreck and may start with the adult beverages soon!

[William McKinley]

Carl Cameron made some hints. I think I got them all:

The hints were (I think I got them all):

Coleman having a very good night. (Min)

Strickland took much better advantage of the early voting system and it could be a long night for Allard (Co)

Both camps say Prior has had a strong vote turnout (Ark)

NH- too close to say.

Cleland is looking at a long and dreary night (GA)

Dems are saying the black turnout for Carnahan has been disappointing (MO).

Both camps saying Johnson's turnout efforts have been more impressive (SD)

Both camps saying that the late surge from Bowles "may be decisive". (NC)

Both camps saying Cornyn will win. (TX)

Later, during the Grapevine, Hume characterized Arkansas and New Jersey as "not particularly close". He characterized Colorado as "a cliffhanger".

Barnes and Kondracke both think Bush's strategy this election was good, and have pretty much said the House has been held. Juan thinks Bush paid too high a price.

Returns coming in 15 minutes in Georgia. Polls also close in 15 minutes in NH and some other states.

We should have some early results in about two weeks... (after the lawsuits wind down)

;0)

[Spyder]

I'm getting a good feeling here in Hawaii. We're not registered here (vote in Texas) but have donated to the Lingle campaign, all very well done with offers of rides to the polls, etc. We've gotten 3 phone calls from the Republican side, none from the Democrats. Husband is down at one of the precincts helping drive sign wavers, voters, etc. He's been very impressed with the get-out-the-vote effort here on the GOP side.

[Mensch]

I'm here.

This is going to get very series, very fast!

Down in Florida the Dems are digging up graves and hauling corpses in whell chairs to the polls. They tell the poll workers that they are blind and need assistance but it's hard to get past the smell.

[Kip Lange]

Latest news I can glean from talking to a few people on the inside is: House is looking like it will definitely remain in Republican hands; Senate is razor-thin with Democrats probably still barely retaining control. In other words, my sources tell me: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. ;-) Although reading expressions of some of the talking heads' faces makes me think we might have gotten the push we needed...*maybe*...

One of the local networks just released early results for the Governor's race. With about 650 votes counted, Sanford (R) 62% and Hodges (D) 38%. Nice start.
