US Election Night Liveblogging
23:53 PST: Gonna call it quits at Campaign HQ and watch the rest at the hotel.
22:46 PST: I took a couple of pictures of the venue a few hours ago, before the crowd built up.
22:35 PST: The WA governor's race is really tight. Here's the scene when Dino Rossi took the slimmest of leads.
22:17 PST: While I was away, Fox called AK for Bush (pretty easy call). This means that Fox has Bush at 269 electoral votes.
21:42 PST: Fox News calls Ohio for George W. Bush.
21:40 PST: 77% of all SD precincts reporting and Daschle is behind Thune by >3700 votes.
21:35 PST: In OH, Clark County is currently at Bush 51% Kerry 49%. The folks at the Guardian can officially begin kicking themselves.
21:22 PST: Fox belatedly calls FL. Still pretty tense over OH. Bush called in CO by ABC.
20:52 PST: Crowd goes wild that Daschle is lagging.
20:39 PST: It's about time! FL goes red: Bush 237 Kerry 188 on ABC. Crowd goes berserk.
20:34 PST: Bush is ahead by 1% in WA. 6% of precincts reporting.
20:32 PST: By the way, there's no wi-fi here, but there is a table off to the side with tons of Internet connections and 8 laptops attached (including my own). Current count on Yahoo is Bush 210 Kerry 199.
20:10 PST: It's weird having the WA GOP chair talk up the crowd as "west coast blues" start coming in on the TVs behind him.
19:57 PST: Dammit Pennsylvania went blue.
19:51 PST: They just calledNM AZ for Bush. =)
19:34 PST: A review of my day so far.
I'm at the Meydenbauer Center right now, HQ for the Washington state GOP campaign night. Current count on Yahoo: Bush 192, Kerry 112.

- Left UBC with fellow Young Tories at about 10 AM.
- Got to Bellevue at about 2 PM.
- Reached the call centre soon after. Did last-minute get-out-the-vote calling for about two hours or so.
- Left some time after 4 PM. Back to hotel room to watch some forbidden TV (in Canada).
- Got to the Meydenbauer at about 10 to 7.
