Alaska

Waiting Impatiently

While watching the national election results I am torn between thoughts:

  1. The national networks (like CNN) sure are willing to stick their necks out on guessing who is winning elections where the entire vote count is unfinished. Sure, when you have 99% of the vote for one seat and one candidate is leading by 35%, yeah. But they were calling for Democratic control of the House when there were still 80 or so seats left undecided. Wha . . .?
  2. I want to know what is going on in Alaska, RIGHT NOW!!!! Yeah, the polls have been closed for over an hour and I want to know NOW. So does that make me just as guilty? Anyway, Alaska doesn’t release any poll results from any precincts until 9:00 PM (2 hours after the polls close)

Waiting . . .

Update 9:22 PM: First results have shown up on the State Elections website. So far they are disappointing.

Update 9:29 PM: Alaska results are starting to show up on CNN finally. So I can put my laptop to bed now.

We’ll see where it all goes by tomorrow morning I guess.
