6:30 CST. I see that the Associated Press has called Vermont for Biden and Kentucky for Trump. MSNBC has called Indiana for Trump. Right now the crew at MSNBC are wringing their hands over Florida, which is a tossup.
6:45 CST. Somebody called West Virginia for Trump. Somebody called Virginia for Biden. Florida is not looking good, but it’s not over.
7:00 CST. A bunch of states. No surprises. It looks like Trump will get Florida.
7:16 CST. Mitch McConnell wins re-election. Damn. Kentucky should secede.
8:23 CST. We aren’t going to get a lot of critical states tonight, especially Pennsylvania, but I am still hoping for a strong indication that we’re in okay shape. I am trying hard not to look at states that are way early in their counting. Four years ago I knew by around 10 pm that Clinton was going to lose.
8:28 CST. Hickenlooper wins in Colorado! There’s one Senate seat flip to the Dems.
9:24 CST. Doug Jones lost in Alabama.
9:36 CST. I could be wrong — I am wobbly with numbers — but by my calculations if Biden wins every state Clinton won in 2016 and also picks up Wisconsin and Michigan, that gets him to 259. He needs at least one more big state.
9:57 CST. Lindsey Graham wins. Damn.
10:11 CST. Oh, yuck, the worthless Governor Parson got re-elected in Missouri. Damn shame.
10:32 CST. We may not get any more results this evening, so I’m going to call it quits for a bit. Keep the faith.
10:55 CST. Somebody called Arizona for Biden, which is the first flip from 2016. Okay, now I am getting some sleep.
Michele Goldberg will inspire you Finally, a Chance for Women to Defeat Trump, or: How four traumatic years turned Georgia into a swing state.
Think about that: Georgia, a swing state.
The feeling is like sitting on death row waiting to find out if you are going to get a stay of execution.
I feel a little more like the period before Thanksgiving – gloomy and dark, but hope and renewal in a few weeks. I am cautiously optimistic that Trump is on his way out.
What are you watching? I'm computer based, watching MSNBC.com on one screen (sound is on), DailyKos on another.
I've got MSNBC on the teevee and watching the Associated Press on the PC.
Is there any word on what % of the mail-in has been counted, especially in FL? Dems have a big advantage in mail-in votes there but is what I'm looking at with or without the mail-in component.
Last time I saw, TX is a dead heat.
AOC won re-election. She's a rising star.
It's after 2 AM and I can't sleep. I fear Trump will win – the map and the numbers don't look good.
