The northlondonhippy

It might be closer than the pre-polling sug­gests, but I am already get­ting the feel­ing that its going to be a good night for Obama and his party.

I’ve been flip­ping between:

- FoxNews
– CNN
– MS-NBC
– SKY
– BBC

They all have giant sets and really whizzy graph­ics, espe­cially the Amer­i­can net­works. They’re all being cau­tious in their pro­jec­tions, which is sen­si­ble, but not very exciting.

CNN win on the tech­nol­ogy front, Wolf Blitzer is talk­ing to actual, life-like holo­grams of peo­ple in other parts of the coun­try. Spooky!

The key states at this hour remain too close to call, but that in itself could be telling us some­thing, as the key states in pre­vi­ous elec­tions were firmly in the Repub­li­can column.

The inter­net may be my per­sonal medium of choice for doing my own thing, but at heart I am a tele­vi­sion viewer. I’m split­ting my time between my desk­top com­puter and my tv, though as this thing heats up, I’ll prob­a­bly switch to surf­ing on my iPhone while I remain on the sofa. Like you needed to know that.
