What to Watch For | Newsweek Politics: Campaign 2008
—
In 2000 and 2004, the outcome of the presidential race was unknown into the wee hours of the morning (and indeed for several weeks thereafter in 2000). This time, it is possible that we will be able to guess the winner of the presidential race relatively early in the evening. Regardless, there ...

Election Night Viewers' Guide
FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right — Over at Newsweek, I have an hour-by-hour preview of what to watch for tomorrow night: 7 PM EST. Polls close in Virginia and Georgia, as well as most of Florida and most of New Hampshire. Virginia, for my money, is the most important state in this election. If John McCain loses it, his path to victory is exceptionally narrow—he would need to pull out an upset in Pennsylvania, while holding on to Florida and Ohio, and avoiding a sweep out West. Barack Obama has considerably more ways to win without Virginia, but a failure to close out the state ...

Sadly, No! — ... and what they show is not displeasing, but let me just say that I’m not going to relax until an inaugurated president of a particular hue and disposition lets himself into the Oval Office, takes off his shoes, and lights a freaking cigar. I’ll relax when he’s leaning way back in his sturdy leather chair with his sock feet up on the desk, thumbing aimlessly through the February, 2009 issue of Cooking Light. In the meantime, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight has a good pre-game piece at Newsweek. ...

Networks May Call Race by 8 Eastern
Outside The Beltway | OTB — ... the press influence voting out West is to hold elections over a weekend and stop voting at a synchronized time.  Or do away with in-person voting altogether and have everyone vote absentee.  That may well happen — we’re gradually trending that way — for other reasons. Of course, the networks’ dream is for McCain to win Virginia, Ohio, and Florida and have Pennsylvania too close to call well into the night.  Come to think of it, I’d be perfectly happy with that as well. As an aside, Nate Silver has a good hour-by-hour  guide to election night, noting poll closing times and ...
