I just came back from door-knocking in S. Mpls with a guy from Turkey. We mostly mopped up last-minute in heavily Dem areas, but we both felt a part of the victory. I think I've done a lot in this election, but there's no substitute for boots on the ground. I came back and...
...turned on CNN, checked CSPAN and a few other tv stations. Most of the local networks aren't going to start heavy coverage until 8 (about 15 minutes from now), so I'll have another three channels to watch. (Fox, of course, is broadcasting House)...
...went on the web and looked at a bunch of sites offering up-to-the-minute commentary and polling and results from around the country...
...poured myself a stiff drink.
In 2006, I'm at the place to follow hundreds of elections: In front of my computer watching cable tv. It's not the same as before, and it may not be better, but it's cool.
I may even take a break for an hour and watch House (vs. taping it), then come back to the horse races.
