Voting was smooth in my area of Arlington Heights (IL) but it has been so for the last 12 years at least.  Today, no more than a 30 minute wait (but others have seen as long as 1 hr, 20 min. at our location).  I really hope Dan Seals can ride Obama's coattails into office.  We'll post another open thread tonight for results, but meanwhile, how is it going for you today?

Here is what the Obama's have been doing this morning.  I wonder why they look so happy?  Or maybe one of them said something humorous just before the snap. 

What web resources are you looking at tonight to watch the results?  I'm using greenpaper's poll close times along with this great graphic from the Swing State Project based on Green Papers data.  Other than that I'm following Nate's projections and Al's projections and DemConWatch. I think all of these websites have been among the best through this election.

Not having cable TV, I might have PBS on if Brooks and Shields don't hog too much of the time.
