6:12 pm -- There's a little vein popping out in Pat Buchanan's forehead.
6:38 pm -- The Mitch McConnell race is soooooo close!!
6:40 pm -- Obama's within 15K votes in Indiana with NO precincts in Lake County yet. This rules.

7:32 pm -- EAT IT LIDDY DOLE!!!!

8:48 pm -- Obama's winning Tampa. He's gonna win Florida. I'm just gonna come out and say it. Florida=Obama country.
8:50 pm -- The baby is kicking up a storm. Excited about Obama, or strung out on all the Gobstoppers I've been chowing on for three hours? Too close to call.

9:23 pm -- Maggie is super jealous of her friends in Grant Park.
9:57 pm -- Chris Matthews is totally creaming himself -- I guess that's why they took him off the air right after calling Ohio, they needed to calm him down a little.
10:01 pm -- They just called it! I think Olbermann is crying. They're showing people collapsed in tears in Atlanta and Harlem. This is insane.
10:03 pm -- HA HA HA HA MY NEWS FEED JUST WENT FUCKING BERZERKER! There are fireworks somewhere outside.

11:57 pm -- David Gregory just pointed out that we don't have any results yet from Alaska, and Rachel Maddow LAUGHED AT HIM. It was LULZtastic.
