I have a martini and election coverage on the TV (though we'll switch off briefly for Jeopardy!) and somehow, somehow I have to make it through the next few hours.

Obama had better fucking win, is all I have to say. The Republicans need their asses handed to them. They've earned it.

Also, for the record, much as I love the calm, soothing, intelligent BBC America coverage, it is much harder to follow after drinking a martini.

They can certainly begin to call with 1%, depending on where those precincts are. For example, BBCA is calling Pennsylvania for Obama because apparently, 40% of PA's votes are in Philadelphia, and there's no way Philly isn't going for Obama.

But yeah, some of these states, it hardly matters whether you've got results at all. MA is clearly going to be Obama country, for example.

(BTW, I strongly suggest watching BBCA's coverage, at least until Comedy Central kicks in at 10. The Brits seem to think of us as one gigantic, unintentionally funny country. I think they may be right.)

MSNBC just called Alabama for McCain. Dude, I could have done that last month.
