it's just after midnight in the uk, and richard and i--armed with strong coffee (him) and jetlag (me)--are up for the long haul, watching the results come in from the historic us elections. our tv is tuned to traditional coverage, but we are occasionally turning to solid news sources such as the war for the white house when david dimbleby and the repetitive multi-touch gizmos on the bbc become a bit too much to take. mind you, the bbc is currently interviewing ricky gervais, who may be clueless about us politics but is a welcome break from the political pundits generally on offer.
i sent my vote into the state of washington by absentee ballot weeks ago and am a proud supporter of obama. may the best man win.
