    Watching BBC online, can't stay up too late because I have a 9am lecture that I don't really want to miss tomorrow.

    Did you just see the Hologram on CNN? What next Yoda warning of the dark side?

    bahahaha had to laugh at CNN just there

    One analyst starts talking about the Bradley Effect and then instantly the camera zooms to the black panelist!

    Have to say I like the way BBC are doing things. Its a bit ahhh duhhhh! with explaining things but to be honest suits me. U.S voting rig ma role confuses me.

    I'm staying up to wait for Pensilvannia and Florida. As far as my understanding. If Rep states vote Rep and Dem states vote Dem and then Obama wins florida and pensilvannia (swing states) he is as close to home as ever. I could be v wrong and away off there but thats the impression I got.

    Was enjoying BBC earlier.. plenty of quipping and humour that is missing elsewhere.

    One of them saying "Sarah Palin.. who can't tell the difference between Nicholas Sarkosy and Inspector Clouseau"! :D

    Still on Sky News now though.

    You should go to bed now and get up at five or six, there'll be more results in but it won't be over.

    heh, that's exactly what i'm doing. can't stand most of this early bullsh*t filler talk, seems a fair few were expecting to have a lot more calls to talk about at this point.

    Just in the door from work - flicking between BBC1 and RTÉ. BBC World also has another program going.

    BBC are calling the Keystone State for Obama?

    Their graphic says Obama 103 McCain 34.

    I have to recommend guys, using an Internet TV player to watch Al Jazeera English, and the coverage is superb. I really think you should look.

    Starting to get tired myself, seems to be wrapped up though.

    That said I will probably wake up tomorrow to find out that Bush has been re-elected.

    I really should be off... But I don't want to miss speeches!
    It's a historic day.

    It's like sleeping through the moon landing.

    Okay, not quite.

    CNN are predicting the speeches at 4am, not long to go now.

    I'll miss it once it's over
