This was supposed to be my experiment in live blogging Election Night from Grant Park. Well, it worked, kind of. What I didn't count on was that 100,000 other people would be doing the same thing and Twitter wouldn't be able to handle it. So my Tweets didn't exactly get posted in order, even though I sent them in order. Of course, maybe it's more interesting this way.
Feel free to ask what something means if you don't understand my shorthand or any of the references.

Condolences go to Obama for the loss of his grandmother. May our thoughts give support during this time. My prayers go out for her and those she leaves behind.
