As for me – well, I won’t be at any of these events 😦 I was one of 20 bloggers invited to the NPR headquarters in Washington DC to blog live from there. Plans are for live blogging from about 6pm til about 4am. So between live blogging and Twitter (follow me here) I’ll be posting quite a bit.

What about you? What plans do you have for Election night?

  3. I can’t wait to read your blog from NPR
    I will be with the Norfolk Dems tomorrow night. I hope I can make it there after a 14 hour day at the polls in the rain.

    Remember- the Redskins MUST lose tonight. I love my Skins too but….
    From ABC News:

    But one of the most accurate indicators is how football’s Washington Redskins fare in the team’s final home game before Election Day. This year, the Redskins host the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday night. Since 1940, 16 of 17 times, a Redskins win in its last home game before Election Day has corresponded to an incumbent party victory, and a loss has meant a win for the challenging party.

    The one exception, however, was in the most recent presidential election, when the Redskins fell to the Green Bay Packers but Bush beat Kerry anyway.

    So perhaps the Republican presidential nominee will be rooting for the Redskins with fingers crossed.

  4. Just change the criterion to “the incumbent party wins the POPULAR vote if the Redskins win, and the incumbent party LOSES the popular vote if the Redskins lose,” and I think they are 17 for 17.
