Default Late-night election thread - anyone else staying up tonight?
Looks like I'm staying up for the long haul. On the plus side, I need to chat with a potential client in Hong Kong and it's mid-morning there now...

Also, is the guy hosting the BBC coverage drunk or jet-lagged or what?

Do you mean Dimbleby? Drunk?

I think not.

He comes across as bumbling but he's very sharp.

Gives Labour MPs a pretty hard time on Question Time, which is unusual for the BBC.

The man's a national treasure.

been watching CNN online for 7 hours straight. These guys are light years ahead of something like the BBC. The site does things from the future.

Conjecture isn't news. News is news. If they're telling you things that haven't yet happened, they're doing it wrong.

Anyway, the CUK election thread is over here.

Man, that republican with the little white mustache is an annoying git. So far he's called two interviewers ignorant and demanded one be fired... when Obama gets 270 I half expect him to launch into a expletive-filled anti-terrorist rant.

Actually, he has improved a lot over the last two hours. I retract my complaint. But where is the Swingometer?!
