If you had to pick a day to have the best results on 538, you would want it to be the night before the election :D

It was very good during the primaries. They were the only website to get IN right, everyone else had Obama losing by 6-8 points, Nate at 538 had it about a 1 point Clinton win.

These new numbers are amazing, but I'm not going to celebrate until tomorrow. I'm so incredibly nervous. Here's hoping everything turns out as predicted. No major upsets, no surprises, nothing.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart will probably be quite happy. They've been having new shows since the beginning of september, with no breaks at all, and some of the stuff they've put out these past two months has been incredible. They deserve a week's break as soon as the elections are wrapped up.

But network executives, yeah, they probably aren't happy.

He would have to be in landslide territory for them to call the race before 11PM EST. They wont count CA/WA/OR/HI until the polls there actually close. So Obama would have to cross 270 before then.. it's possible but several of the landslide states (NC, GA, IN, MO, etc) are going to be close if Obama wins them, so they may not be called quick enough.

My bet is Obama is named president at 11:05.

Hence why I said earliest but think of it this way:

By 9pm they'll have between an hour to two hours worth of results tabulated from Florida, an hour and a half's worth in Ohio. That should be plenty of time for them to have enough results to declare in those states if Obama is ahead by 3-5 points in either of them, the real wild card is North Carolina as it's not clear when they'll start reporting results and it'll likely be ridiculously close there.

HOLY SHIT!

So airplanes just flew over my office building and wrote in the sky "Vote YES on Prop 8" and "Preserve family vaules YES on 8".

I live in Los Angeles and here in California Prop 8 will ban same-sex marriages. I am amazed and disgusted at the same time...

Edit: i am not an airplane...

Yeah, I've been seeing a TON of "Yes on 8" signs this past month. And, lo and behold, now they're advertising on Gaf.

Did Obama show up to this event? It's coming close to a half hour since the last person got off. I need to eat dinner eventually, Obama!

so i'm in madrid right now...

i have the option of staying up from 11pm (when the first polls close) until 6/7am (when there should be a winner) at a party that would show everything and cost me about 20 Euros (~$30)

hmmmm

i think i might, instead, just go to bed early and wake up at 5am to watch CNN International (which i do have at my flat). it would suck, though, to miss all the development, all the drama, and most importantly the moment when people realize that obama is going to win. :D

I didn't mind, although I did wonder if it was a secret blackface joke.

Then I remembered it was VoG, who isn't smart enough to think that deeply. Seriously, being insulted by him is like a compliment from a normal person.
