Whats the time in England It looks like you may get to bed at a reasonable hour

It's 02.45. Why do they use this electoral college system in a two-horse race? The popular vote is only 50% - 49% apparently.

It invented to stop the hoi polloi having too much power.

The hour or the society? (I predict a reply of "both"!)

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Grant Park looks amazing. They reckon on a million people turning up to see Obama. This is a huge change.

All the best, history has been made, but I'll wait until he gets to 270 for the celebratory drink

 

[Steve in Oz]

McCain should concede now and give you guys over in England some sleep

 

[Juan Albion]

Yes, with the entire west coast guaranteed for Obama, this has been over for a long time.

 

[RM-Taylor]
