Was out all day, can't watch TV- can someone summarize what's happened?

[npincus]

I spent the day playing with my 2 year-old- I feel guilty because I've had the TV on so much (news) and have felt very distracted in these final days. It really isn't fair, because she doesn't understand the future of the free world hangs on this election. Can someone please summarize turnout, and any news on what's happened today? I really appreciate it.

4. A summary:

Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.

10. My daughter (3) is getting upset I've been ignoring her...

I had pull myself off the computer and play some games. As much as I love her, I did turn the news on in the background. It's like a drug following this election. I have GOT to take a break for my kids' sake.

11. so YOU understand! I am going through the same thing.

She's napping now, so I can go online. I can't help myself either- it's all I've been able to think about.
