2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo what's your game plan on election night?
In the game room, I'll have MSNBC on....Upstairs in living room probably have either CNN or NBC on....Then upstairs in computer room, will stop in DU of course, and also have the NYT page open...In elections past, NYT has had a real good interactive map updating total vote counts as the polls close....This is a hard night to sit still, lol, so I'll probably get the 10,000 steps in just going from room to room....

(8,379 posts)It's so delicious when they freak out at having to read the poll results. I was watching when they made the announcement "Barack Obama is the 44th Presideuof the U.S." And again when he was re-elected and Karl Rove exploded and made Megyn walk down to the polls desk to chastise the boys down there.
Oh it was so beautiful. Sometimes I google it and rewatch it so I can laugh again. I highly suggest it!

Megyn was laughing her ass off the whole way, too

(3,166 posts)the election center team @FOX was like "we are confident in our call Barack Obama has won re-election" and despite that Rove was like no, no, no, no,no we need to keep counting.....What a f-ing dog and phony show Rove put on..

Instead I think I'll stay home with an indulgent take away meal and a bottle (or two) of bubbly. I anticipate we will know the results relatively early.

Grown2Hate
(2,013 posts)Four bottles of champagne at the ready. First to pop should be for the Presidency. Second (HOPEFULLY) for the Senate. Third (far shot, and if not, stays on ice) for the House. Finally, the fourth... to watch Joe Arpaio go down in FLAMES (currently down FIFTEEN in the latest poll to Penzone!). It will be quite the celebration.

(5,815 posts)have on hand that night. TV tuned to MSNBC and iPad on Democraticunderground. I think some good bubbly might make the evening rather festive.....just right to use to toast the first female President of the United States. Going to be an historic night. Great for Hillary....for tRump?? Not so much.
