Vote Early and Often...Political Junkies

Hey it’s DC and one thing I have learned since moving here a year ago is…politics is the rule.

People today are obsessing and clicking around wasting time this Tuesday November 4^th. A lot of people made it out early (most of my friends have been texting me or letting me know via twitter) but no one will see exit-poll results until early evening.  A friend of mine reminded that there are mash-up maps of results from sites like this one at SetFive, or this one mapping general Twitter election buzz, are self select reporting and wildly inaccurate as election tracks.

 

I am a simple guy and will be watching CNN and Fox News…
