My kid convinced me to hit a café at 3 or 4 am to watch whatever results roll in. Will be a brutal day tomorrow, but a memorable experience, so....

16 years ago I had a 2-day trip to a conference, and spent all evening in the hotel calling home, fretting over the results that kept changing... and then for the next 2 weeks... and then it was over. #NeverAgain

Saw a Bill Kristol piece talking about his pride in #NeverTrump. As the voting statistics roll in with Republican and Democratic votes close to even, I still wonder how much #NeverTrump is baked into the GOP side. I'd doubt there are that many people going to vote for Trump just cause they hate Hillary - stay home, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, McMullin....

15 years ago our country collectively lost its shit after having 2 buildings knocked down and a 3rd plowed into. With the Cubbies curse over, could our self-induced political & foreign policy curse be about over? Perhaps - expect a sea change in behavior with greatly shifting voting blocs and pent up impatience for new policies.

I was never thrilled by high Mexican immigration (I prefer more distributed immigration from more nations around the globe), but at least this ear I can appreciate the firewall between the nation and white suicide.

Early voting may change % of voters permanently, especially if they get over some of the humps that still plague voting - both intentional obstruction, and inefficient ways of chalking up votes & moving through voters. Hey, hand them a flash drive and tally it on up.

A bloc of California, Nevada and Arizona along with Oregon, Washington and Colorado would make the West irreversibly pot country. Except the surge in HIspanic voting may dampen the success of recreational marijuana. Still, we've come a long way since Nancy Reagan said pot smokers are accessories to murder. Or maybe not - she was probably just deluded or under the influence.

The Vice News / VoteCastr experiment in early results is so far kind of boring, and inconclusive (early voters don't predict final percentages, and only indicate whether a massive move is underway). But we'll see when actual state releases start coming out.

Hoping a win today means Obama withdraws his Supreme Court nominee for one Hillary supports. Elections have consequences; stonewalling shouldn't be rewarded with greater choice.

For all Wall Street's problems, it's not suicidal like the purity right - they're pumped that Hillary looks to win. And I don't think they're looking forward to more speeches (with transcripts), or expecting a big money pipleline direct from Washington. It'll just be a healthier, more predictable environment tha Trump would ever promote.

Does this year signal another huge change in polling methodology and putting together models? Well, next election pollsters are going to have to learn Spanish, get better at deducing opinion from online sources, and get better at dialing in full-on crazy into their models.

Is this the year Republicans finally get punished and start to atone/readjust for their overreach and brutish strategies the last 2 decades, or will we have to endure another cycle? Will they notice when all the women have left the building?

2016 will still long be remembered for encouraging an unhinged, completely uninformed business developer to run, and then backing his campaign despite lies, outrageous comments and sullied revelations. That this election is still a nail-biter says horrid things about us as a people. Can it be fixed?

Fingers crossed, a few hours to go.
