I suppose it’s a bit tricky with the TIME ZONES and WHAT NOT

Including @Suomi who led us all to believe he'd already gone to bed.

Well no polls have closed yet. They're just using the term to draw in early viewers.

I can't deal with alcohol tonight coffee and hot chocolate for me

Trump is going to win, and he’s going to win in the most painful possible way.

He’ll get Florida, so by the end of the night (like many are expecting) he’ll be in the lead. He’ll steamroller on ahead, declare victory, and set about doing everything he can to block as many postal votes as possible.

Cue weeks of unrest, legal wrangling and hysteria, during which the courts will rightly decide not to intervene and let democracy take its course.

After all that, he will then STILL win fair and square (albeit narrowly), and will spend the next four years spinning those few weeks to claim that the Democrats tried to subvert the election and rob him of his win.

Fun times.

On vodka and lemonade at the moment. Hoping further beverages turn into celebratory type rather than the drown-your-sorrows kind.

 

[POP!]

Michigan will start counting votes early per CNN , NC will be a bit delayed due to extended polling hours.

opened my first drink.

Have we had any exit polling on the burning issue of WINDMILL CANCER?

What were his other weird bugbears? Something about a dishwasher and small fishes.

 

[win_the_game]

This may very well happen if Trump wins.

46% believe those pesky windmills are blowing the cancer over from Russia 10% are mad about all the dead birds

I’m just back from dinner and I’m nice and merry at the moment. I’ve got a good hour to drink some more and get MAUDLIN.

I agree with this up to the point where you say Trump wins even with postal votes counted. I don't think that will be the case.

I also expect we may get a 2000 situation in Florida and Georgia which is the only meaningful way the courts will influence the election towards Trump. Otherwise everything else will be the correct decision and then Trump will get turfed out the White house probably by force.

Interesting thread over the change in who is voting in person throughout the day

Love the SOMETHING ELSE racial category on this CNN poll

This Julia Chatterley seems SMUG

BBC has Katty Kay and Andrew O'Neil tonight. Talking about giving with one hand and taking with the other

IT WAS CERTAIN LITTLE TINY FISHES.

Is this Neil’s swan song? At least we can be sure one ogre is going away after tonight.

CNN are blowing up over the first 9,000 votes counted in Kentucky. I don't think I'll be watching for long if their coverage is that over the top.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

GARY!

Had he just seen Finding Nemo?

I must say I quite enjoy his bizarre irreverent rants.

I could have sworn he'd already left.

I think Georgia might be closer than Florida and Arizona you know. I think Georgia is still in play.

Christ - Jesse Jackson is a state on BBC Two. Did he have a stroke?

I am going to regret keeping an eye on this, I can already feel it

There have been lots of whispers of Republicans freaking out about Georgia. Internal polling or whatever not looking good but I guess it's all a toss up at this point so LET'S SEE.

He's melted.

Loving these minuscule analysis though.
