Let The Games Begin!

I'm not delusional. I know that there are a huge number of people that really don't get excited about election day. But to me it's one of the most exciting days of the 2-year cycle. I am why the 24-hr news channels will be making predictions all day long. I will have nervous energy all day until the polls close and they start posting election returns. The fact that the races are so close and the stakes are so high just makes it that much more fun. Adding to the sheer joy of it is watching the media fall all over themselves trying to be first with the results. I don't think they're nearly as close to taking back the Senate as they think they are, so it will be fun to watch them try not to appear totally dejected if things don't go their way.

Anyone care to make a wager as to what time they will unofficially declare that the Dems have taken back control? 1 p.m.? 3 p.m.? Or will they wait until 7 Eastern time? It will happen, I assure you. They just can't help themselves. But you have to give them props for optimism, since it's the only time they seem to have any.

Decision 2008 begins tomorrow! What a wild ride that will be...
