At home. My son may come over for awhile. And, periodically, I will be checking in on wow.
Hi Diana,
I hope your son makes it over for a while.
In any event, please know that I’ll say a little toast to you, as I lift a glass tonight for Obama.
Your voice has been one of the ones I have listened to over the last few months.
So, “Cheers” to you, and Obama. Best,
I’ve got my son and a few close friends coming over, not a huge group, 12 adults and 4 dogs :) all smart, caring, and cautiously optimistic people. I keep alternating between giddy happy dance moments and completely gripped by fearful paralysis, ugh! I cannot wait till it’s called for Obama and am so looking forward to finally getting our country back!
It should be a yawn until after midnight, with a huge voter turnout. Unseasonably pleasant weather in much of the Midwest will ensure long lines, and slow vote tallies. I’ll watch at home.
I’ll be in Catatonia, where I’ve been for the past eight years.
Call me, when it’s safe to come out.
I live in Paris and friends are coming over with their pajamas to watch CNN all night. Who could sleep?
My husband and I will be at the rally in Chicago….. we were very lucky and received tickets to the event! I am so excited that sleep is impossible at the moment!
I am sure Anne, that you will have lots of information to report. Hope you have a great time at the celebration!
I will be at home with my husband, a few close friends and our dogs…waiting for that moment when I can open the several bottles of champagne I’ve been saving for this day. I woke up before dawn today, something that rarely happens…even though we won’t be voting until later in the day…just a sense of excitement, like a kid on Christmas morning! Godspeed Mr. Obama.
At home and hiding under the covers if the incoming results are close!!!!
I will watch NBC for a bit to see if Tom remembered to bring Tim’s cup, then off to PBS. (I still can’t believe Tom thinks Palin was good for the women’s movement…go figure!!!)

I got up at 5 walked the mile to the voting building , thought it would be crowded but only 10 people before me.Doors opened at 6.30, walked in voted and got out. YEAH!!!!!Got home at 7, nice brisk walk and now I want coffee and bed but tonight I just got to stay up as long as I can.
I am like Candice I need to see and hear it several times before I dare to start dancing.
I will miss some of the reportage because I am going to see the new outdoor light display at the Biltmore Castle in Asheville. It is supposed to be a spectacular show for their Christmas crowds.
Daughter works there and gets a preview tonight.
Jeannot,
Have a wonderful time at the Biltmore Castle tonight. I’m sure you will.
I’ll say a little toast to you, I’ll make a little wish for us all, as I lift a glass to Obama later.
Hopeful and nervous, but mostly hopeful. Best,
Not planning to watch. I have an unviewed set of DVDs of a British miniseries A DANCE to the MUSIC of TIME, almost 7 hours long, and will immerse myself in that and try to quell the dreadful nausea I am experiencing.
Worry kills, so I’m doing a cop out.
I will be home alone, hopefully celebrating with a glass of Napa’s finest. I am anxious ,espeicially when I heard this morning that there were already problems with some voting machines. The turnout of voters gives me hope that people really do want a change and that today is the beginning of a new light in our country. However, just watching the movie “Recount” I’m a bit nervous. Hopefully history will not repeat itself.
