Election Night

9:55 p.m.
Brighton, Aurora, Thornton School Districts all defeated on bonds and mills. The state of the economy sent a strong message tonight.

9:50 p.m.
27J has suffered an apparent humbling defeat at the polls. Mary Hodge has won. Dave Rose has lost to Kevin Priola. Look for more details soon at the web site.

9:27 p.m.
John McCain is a true American – classy even in light of a tough defeat.

9:23 p.m.
Broken record – we're waiting for Adams results.

9:05 p.m.
Barack Obama is the next President of the United States.

9:00 p.m.
Maybe putting times on my posts would be helpful. We haven't heard anything from Adams County yet. This isn't unusual. They take their time.

Time to change the political system. Let's give states the president they vote for.

If we don't get something from Adams, 27J supporters are going to have breakfast at Lonestar.

Special thanks to my sister for providing her political analysis. Still awaiting numbers from Puerto Rico.

Is Anderson Cooper really in hologram form on CNN? "Spock, we must do something."

Anxiously awaiting some Adams County numbers. They usually get going about 8:30 p.m.

Close vote in Florida. Oh no.

I want to hear from you people tonight. What are you thinking?

Mark Schlereth signing autographs at the King Soopers at 136th and Colorado in Thornton tomorrow. Don't want to miss it.

Call Gene Sears, he has primary results in his hot little hand. Yes, we're a little eager for data.

Andrew Romanoff is talking about magical moments. Somebody just got their first kiss!

McDonald's hardwood is having a sale. Yes, that's the amount of local results we have right now. Anybody want a crossiant-wich.

Betsy Markey is off the lie detector and hammering Musgrave.

Is Ron Ames out there tonight. Ron, your thoughts on the proceedings so far?

Stop calling about Sears for Mayor. There won't be any official announcements until after this election.

Ann Curry is in front of a green screen. A freakin green screen? Is this Forrest Gump?

Hello to all the 27J people gathering at Lonestar Steakhouse. The steaks are on Superintendent Blunck tonight.

Adam Schraeger is on 9News. That means this has become "Your Election."

Has everyone got their Colorado Pass for skiing yet? Yes, kids, it will snow some day.

NBC is projecting I will lose my fantasy hockey matchup this week. It's only Tuesday, this is irresponsibly early.

Brighton Blade reporter Gene Sears has announced he will run for Brighton Mayor in '09. Stunning.

No matter who wins, Masdagascar 2 will be in theaters Friday. My daughter has
her ticket.

Answer the question, Betsy Markey. (I'm just kidding)

Colorado is voting Obama, according to NBC. It's 7:05!

Seriously, what is Tom Brokaw doing there?

Barack Obama wins Wisconsin. SOC – Save Our Cheese!

Bob Kendrick is quitting 9News. I think he's just mailing it in tonight. Still I think the boxer shorts and wife beater is tacky.

Is anyone really watching the ballots being counted live in Douglas County. Wait, I fell asleep, did someone answer?

Betsy Markey is still on the lie detector.

Is Tom Janich in a race tonight?

I love this commercial where the old guy is just blown away by the cell phone. When he re-enlists will tell him about DVD players.

Chuck Todd will write Bush 100 times on the chalkboard before he goes home. No more teasing girls!

Chuck Todd, get out your pen. And Annie get your gun. I'm sorry did he just refer to an iron triangle of survival?

I know it's coming fast. I'll slow down once I find something to do.

Did they say someone wants to mount McCain and didn't Tom Brokaw retire?

According to the NBC graphic, the Democrats have seized the mezzanine of the Senate. Still plenty of seats left in the orchestra. Go to ticketmaster.com.

I'm ready for some local races? Are you? Time to see if Millionaire Betsy Markey is still hooked up to the lie detector.

Chuck Todd of NBC (Tim Russert reincarnated) said we're starting to get some clues." Looks like Palin in the study with the wrench.

God bless, Gary, Ind.

Isn't this giant United States map on NBC just wild. I want to see somebody fall on the ice rink carrying out Texas. Obama projected for Minnesota – oh wait, save by the goalie. Do you believe in Red States? Yes!

Is anyone already in withdrawal over the missing campaign commercials? Mark Udall, I miss you. I'm just kidding.

Hi, welcome to my Election Night blog. This will be fun. I'm going to be updating all night with random thoughts. NBC, our channel of choice tonight because it's the only one that comes in at the office, just declared, in the midst of a Biggest Loser commercial, America will undergo a dramatic transformation. Enjoy your new boobies, Kansas. It's magic time.
