I’m gong to go way out on a limb here, but I say if McCain wins New York, it’s all over.

Also, I can’t wait for tonight, but more than that, I can’t wait for tomorrow.  And next week.  And any time where I can read the ol’ internet and not read exclusively about the election.

Really mandatory checking out.  It’s awesome.  A Google Image search also has a handful of good results.  Man.  Doing stuff with data is sweet.
