I'm telling people not to stay up on election night.

Don't stay up unless you've slammed a 12-pack of Red Bull.

With the expected turnout of this election, I don't expect a winner to be decided until mid-morning on the 5th.

What do you all think?

[taterguy]

1. I think Red Bull is icky

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. And besides that, it DOESN'T give you wiiings!

A friend and I used to drink mixed shots of Red Bull and Jaegermeister. After ten or so of them, he always THOUGHT he had wiiings. But it turned out he didn't. I should know, since I was flyying at a modest altitude of ten feet or so, and he wasn't any higher than I was.

2. never drank a Red Bull

But I expect the call to come before ten eastern.

I may down a twelve of cheap beer by then.

6. I hope they wait until AFTER the polls close in Calif

55 electoral votes....

It could turn it in to this years Ohio/Florida debacle

[Le Taz Hot]

13. Last I checked,

Obama had like 60% -- from where, prey tell, are you getting your information?

[MrSlayer]

3. Why are you telling people this?

Are you a salesman for red bull? It is possible to stay awake without damaging yourself so badly. I think this post is very strange.

4. seems to me the issue is how close the votes are, not how many vote

[Sherman A1]

5. I disagree

I believe the election will be called when the polls close in the Central Time Zone, might be before that.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

7. Yeah, why watch

It's only history in the making.

[kikiek]

8. Too important not to. I'm in the for the long haul. Took the 5th off.

[Bunny]

10. How many of the west coast states have early voting?

[TexasObserver]

11. I think your heart is going to be thumping like a hummingbird's long after it's called.

[Ioo]

12. I suspect many east coast states will force polls open until well into 11 or 12

because of turn out

[Virginia Dare]

14. We will have a new President (Obama) by midnight eastern time...n/t

[babylonsister]

15. You haven't been on DU very long then. I'm staying up. nt

[tjwash]

16. Yes mom...

[CK_John]

17. We will not know until Friday at least. n/t

18. Oh HELL to the NO!

I'm staying up as long as it takes. I want to see history made. I want to be a part of it. Not only the White House, but the Senate and congressional races.

And I'm planning to be in my office the next day to see the Pug heads exploding and the gnashing of teeth (I'm in MS). I wouldn't miss that for the world!!
