So, sorry to say, you may have to stay up until the real results start to come in.... In every age it has been the tyrant ... who has wrapped himself in ... patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the people. Eugene Debs
A) Daylight Savings Time was the only Savings institution that the Fed didn't bail out...there was no way to get any vig from them...so now the US is on Standard Time.
B) Only part of Indiana and part of Ky are closing at midnight, CET.
C) Indiana is not typically the kind of state which one can "call", but if it is tight for Obama, then that is a good sign, since he should be no where close.
D) KY is an emollient for McCain. The interesting race is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Will that be 'callable' by 24:00 CET?
01:00 CET is interesting for Florida and Georgia. A win in Florida for the Irish guy, O'Bama, will likely indicate a seal'd up race, and a Georgia win will indicate that the entire country is in for a huge surprise. A win in Georgia and I will go to sleep thinking I won't be disappointed by the dems yet again.
At 01:30 CET that Ohio, N. Carollina and West Virginia come up...and then things flood at 02:00 CET - the highlights from my view are Pennsylvania and Missouri. How does St. Louis go? They have been a bell-weather city for 100 years, only missing once.
At 03:00 is the Colorado vote (and a host of others, but that is an interesting one since it has been trending Dem for a while, but is not quite ready to admit it.
At 04:00 is 'eyes-on' Nevada, another red state turning blue.
At 05:00 CET the west checks in.
All this is presuming that at those hours the pundits are able to read the tea leaves correctly and make a prediction at these times...usually based upon exit polls, but this time there will be a lot of early voting results to blend in... Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
