Welcome to the DGITL election '06 liveblog!
Ready to go - got a roast in the oven that I'm monitoring by wireless thermometer, the kids are watching cartoons in the next room, got a cold one right next to me, and the lovely TB graciously gave me permission to do this.
I'm watching Fox News for coverage, will probably switch to CNN occasionally for their take. Will be monitoring about a dozen web sites, including Polipundit, Red State, Hot Air, Yahoo news, AP, and others.
Just to get started, what the talking heads have mentioned already:
Stock market is up! Some are speculating it's anticipation of Dems taking the house, but there's plenty of other things going on in business news. For example, Boeing was up 4.37 on news that FedEx cancelled their Airbus A380 order in favor of 777s. I think much of the market had already taken the polls favoring Dems into consideration, but watch it soar tomorrow if the GOP keeps both houses.
Duh - Fox says Harris in Fla will lose - that's news?
Bush at 41% approval - Clinton by comparison at 44%. Things are never as dreary as you think.
Early returns favor Dems - not unusual or worrisome.
Oak Leaf - Turnout not as high as expected.
TLB - What, Delaware doesn't exist?
6:14: Still not a lot of good data out there yet - so if posting is slow, that's why...
6:30: This probably won't get very exciting until about 7:30-8:00. I'm working on setting up a few more sites to track...
6:38: Roast at 134 degrees - I will take a break for dinner when it reaches 160.
Polipundit is down - "Error establishing a database connection!" Hope it's temporary... Yup, they're back.
6:46: Fox talking heads all seem to agree early exit polls "out of whack"
6:50: Stop the ACLU has the early poll numbers. Thanks for saving my fingers!
7:11: Will be off the air for a while - food comes first!
I'm back - but I'm not. I've decided to go back to individual posts. This looks like it will be too long of a night to continue, and long posts in MT are a pain to keep up with. If you followed earlier, thanks!
