An important trend to keep an eye out for tonight...
Don't just look at how many votes Hillary or Obama get, look at how total votes for the Democrats compare to votes for the Republicans as a sign of energy and enthusiasm. In particular, look at southern and western states where Dems have not historically won, but may now be in play.

3. With my guy out -- that is what has my attention
I can't wait to see the totals from each party -- especially in the red states.

Tomorrow morning, the first thing I want to see is how many people voted for Edwards across the country. :p

5. I was JUST going to post this
At my school, there was 95 Democratic votes, 5 Republican. Granted, students tend to be more liberal. But those numbers are a little whacky!

6. We all want a Dem in the WH
I think that's the one subject we can all agree on.
