Being a remote-control-control-freak (esp after learning my lesson during CNN’s 04 Bob Dole/Bob Woodward Election Night bore-gasm), I’m hosting a soiree of my own. Mostly pitchers of booze (mmm, sangria!), but also frozen pizza masquerading as classy food. Here are the recipes, if you’d like to do the same:

Am also hoping to get Election Night bingo cards uploaded tonight or tomorrow, so check back for that. Cheers!

We’re five hours ahead of you, but fortunately being self-employed, are up all night Tuesday and taking Wednesday off. We are getting in lots of beer, vino, and sparkling water (to aid hangovers), making a big pot of soup and some bread, rolling up sock pairs to throw at the television, and pillows to hide behind if bad results scroll up on the screen. Some fireworks to let off Wednesday nite if things look good. (Wednesday nite is Bonfire Night here in the UK anyway, when they let lots of fireworks off, but I’m sure a few Obama-motivated ones will be very welcome – I haven’t met anyone here who thinks McPain is a good idea, and I live near a very military town.) Hoping for good weather on Wednesday to walk off both the hangover and any residual tension. I have very few biteable fingernails left.
If, for some reason…, the result is not clear, I’ll be on the train Wed. evening to Edinburgh, with other fellow Amurricans, to protest outside the US Consulate.

I’m off to Ohio to do outside poll watching in Athens. I’ll go to the local Democratic party, and cheer our Guy, and hopefully for Vic Wulsin.

Masaccio, how are things looking for Vic? It’s rather hard from Maui to find news of her race; I’ve searched all over the internet.

Every time we have a few spare pennies, we send them to her. I’ve also been commenting on every story about Obama spending these last days in IA, AZ etc., that he should help with down-ticket races like Vic’s.

I see that he’s going to be in OH, and even Cincinnati, I think. I hope Vic’s up there on the podium with him, and that he says some encouraging words.

[For those of you mystified by this ramble, Vic Wulsin is a GREAT candidate who’s trying to oust Mean Jean Schmidt.]

With election day fast approaching, I’ve started thinking about election night. It’s likely to be a very late one at my house — and a lot of yours as well, I’d suspect.

Christy, pack up the Peanut & come on over to Maui. [Fares are surprisingly low these days.] We’re five hours “behind” East Coast Time [after tonight’s “fall back” of Daylight Savings Time on the Mainland], so at 3 pm, after returning from the beach, you and the Peanut could snuggle into chairs in our “family room” to watch election returns. Should all be over by dinner time here.

We could feast on sweet Maui Gold Pineapple [really, better than ANY pineapple you’ve ever had!!!], and from our yard, mangoes, guacamole from our avocados, orange juice from the oranges, star fruit. A quick trip down the hill to Costco yields yummy hummus and pita chips, plus cans of guava juice.

Is there any better way to spend election night?

For some reason, I read that as “macho” chip and dip recipes.

Be my guest – I don’t have the technical skills or knowledge to do that; plus, my dial-up access gives me limited capability to access any video.

Oh sheesh. What a mess. Maybe this will be the reason we have to face the voting situation. If this has an affect on Tuesday’s outcome, we will have to come up with a better plan. A bigger boat.
