After two weeks of not mentioning the elections, It's time to get all the pent up politics out of our system. Come join the YBNBY team on Tuesday when we'll be liveblogging as the results come in. Writers from YBNBY will be here, as well as a few surprise guests, so make sure you save the date - 9pm EST, Tuesday Nov 4th.

Will you guys have the neat-o big ass touch screen display they have in CNN?
Umm, I think it should be November 4th...by November 8th I hope to know for sure who our next prez is---unless we have a repeat of 2000....
(do I get credit for reading the whole entry?)
This should be interesting. Might need some cocktails for this...
Yes, ahem, 4th. Changed.
Scara, just trying to make sure you're not pulling a Virginia or Florida scam on us (phone calls and flyers seem a little low brow for you, though...).
E, head to the forum and share what you're going to toast with or drown in...
SO, on this occasion I'll probably drink whatever's on hand. I'm saving some Draino if it goes the wrong way.
One nice thing is that alot of people have already voted. Here in Colorado, the Centennial state, best of the big square states imho, something like haff the people voted already. Me included. Just more orderly.
I can haz vote? (Got the lolcats in my head today since I read about Ms. Cellania's cat barfing on her keyboard.)
Hey--she could have spelled barf!!!
E, very 'Heathers' of you, btw....
Possible surprise guests:
Johnny Wright
Johnny Chicago
William Ayers
George Bush
CarrotTop
Eminem
None of the above.
Did you try to get CarrotTop? Figger he's available. Pauly Shore would be an appropriate substitute. Or Ms Cellanias barfing cat.
Is live blogging just a big open thread or something else like do I need a twitter account? Are you guys having a keg?
Are the drinking rules in place? I was thinking about doing a shot everytime I run into the term 'maverick', but I don't want to die just yet so that's not happening.
I'm going to be bored outta my mind without Russert around.
"It's time to get all the pent up politics out of our system."
Sounds like an enema.
random comment bingo ideas :

Los-ers. Los-ers...
I'll be updating this with some more details later on today, as I'm frantically pulling it together at the last minute, but to answer the questions:
It'll be like a live chat window that scrolls - there will be about 8 main bloggers - some regular YBNBY writers, a few invited guests to add some variety and bring their own audiences - posting messages, and anyone from the audience can chip in and post comment too. We'll be posting spot polls, and if we can figure out how, we'll also have a buzzword bingo, but that might be better if we do a "state bingo" card.
Sounds nifty as heck. I'm in.
Got another bingo idea - state nicknames. Keystone State, Empire State, Centennial State, etc.
Also, regional nicknames for groups of peoples - cornhuskers, buckeyes, hill billies, etc..
First!
