This post will contain tonight’s election blogging. Scroll down for updates (which may or may not have a time on them). The first exit polls are scheduled to be released in less than ten minutes. As Paul Harvey would say, “Stand By For News!”

Update (5:15) CNN — The first commentary on early exit polling: Asked which issues are extremely important — 42% Corruption; 40% Terrorism; 39% The Economy; 37% Iraq.

Most interesting to me was the the question asking if national or local considerations played a bigger roll, 62% said national while only 33% said local.

UPDATE (6:00) Cub Scouts — Back around 7:30

10:30 — I’ve been back for a while, but busy reading and watching rather than posting. Overall it’s been a night of few surprises. Several races such as Virginia look to go rather early into tomorrow morning before a definitive call can be made. I’m thinking of turning in now and getting up a bit earlier than normal and go from there.

11:10 — FOX TV is reporting that the WaPo has withdrawn their initial call of a win for Cardin in MD. Steele is leading the reported vote. This race is far from over.
