What can we expect to happen on DU on Election Day?
No matter who wins, I'm sure it will be the biggest night in DU's history right? Will we be able to even access the site that night? Special forum to report results? Total and utter chaos/mayhem?

3. When Obama is declared the winner

4. It's interesting actually
but when Kerry lost in 2004 DU was deserted for a long time. So lord knows what's going to happen.

8. I plan on going to bed early and reading all about it the next morning.
I also don't watch football, or stay up on New Years eve. No sense in pumping up all that adrenalin over a period of many hours when a quick peek at the Yahoo news first thing the next morning will tell me all I need to know.

9. I doubt I will be able to sleep.
I'd like to sleep through the whole week. I somehow doubt this will be settled by 8:00 P. M. PST. I suspect there will be challenges, lawsuits, accusations and recounts It may be 2000 all over again on a much bigger scale.

I'm looking so forward to the RUSH of that evening.
Definitely could not miss this party

13. Well, I'm in ORYGUN and I vote by mail.
My vote will be over and done with days before official election day everywhere else. That kind of takes the edge off.

11. Make sure your membership is up to date
it may get to the point that only paid members are able to access the site.

15. So much traffic, only Admin and Mods will be able to post. And you know what?
There will STILL be flamewars about smoking and pitbulls amongst them.

Strange world, the DU.

17. I won't be here.
It'll be too much to take.

I'll be working at the polls, and when they close, I'm going to lie on my couch drinking alcohol.
