It starts tomorrow, I know, but when are the important results etc. likely to come in? When we gonna see a winner?

[Ya-ta Boy]

Polls close on the east coast at 8 (I think), which is 10am here. Results will start soon after.

Too bad I will be working...

I'd love to just sit in front of the TV all day watching it come in state-by-state.

You should be able to get a live news feed from one of the Local Easr coast station WCVB out of Boston, maybe even a CNN feed or MSNBC or Bloomberg Television.

So when we get off work tomorrow in Korea, then we will know which candidates won. If you need to watch it, then I guess it's like watching a special ball game broadcasted live. There's talk that the new voting system will be a misvote, but I doubt if that happens, even if the results are rigged in a top secret computer program few only know about. You can get online during breaks to watch updated online videos. I'll be glad when it's just water under the bridge and hope we don't get slammed with another boondoggle of an adminstration like McCain. Bush was terrible and needed to have been sent packing years ago.
