How late will you stay up ?

[Mattemma]

Going to bed early.Just glad the robo calls are over.Doesn't really matter who will win.We will be back to complaining about how bad the government is on Thursday.

I'm fairly certain that I will be awake most of the night here on the West Coast, but I am refusing to pay attention to anything but BYC.

here are my predictions, hemet dennis. You can go to Fox right now and they have an interactive map you can fill out to make your predictions if you'd like. I was a little generous giving Romney New Hampshire. I guess Colorado makes me nervous, could go to Romney.

Here's mine: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/ele...111221212122211111222211111221211122222211212

I am fairly sure that I will stay up to see who will win Ohio as I think that will be the key to victory. As for picking a winner I just think that it is really too close for anyone to reliably call a winner. Regardless of who wins I will be very glad that this election is over and hope that we never see anything like it again in our history. These elections go on for too long and are way too expensive. The costs for the 2012 presidential election will approach 6 billion dollars. The cost for a rural congressman to run a campaign is about 9 million. This is a ridiculous situation and should not be allowed to continue. A lot of the blame can be placed on the Supreme Court in it's ruling in the Citizen's United case but a lot of the blame is on all of us because we do not demand that it stop.

You may have to be up for a couple of weeks.

The candidates for President could have spent the entire 6 billion in California and the results would be exactly the same as if they spent zero!!

But I would be happy with $6 billion more in the Calif. economy.

 

[Going Bhonkers]

nope. It may take a couple of days.

So true!!! I'm already in "media coverage overload" on this. Just tell me when you have the FINAL count, I dont need the play by play.
