Going late on election night

Allow me to preface this by saying the I want Obama to win in any configuration of states that it takes. I just want him to win. If that means every eastern state goes 100% for Obama and the election is called mid-afternoon, hooray for America.

That said, I have no patience for whining from ANYONE about having to wait until the results from western states come in before the outcome is known. It seems I've spent my whole life having the election be called by the media before our polls even close. Kinda makes people out here apathetic. Apathy is bad for Democrats and bad for change. I can't imagine how pointless voting for president must seem in AK and HI. It's the same kind of whining that gets people agitating to "reform" the primary process and just go to a national primary because they'll "just die" having to wait for each individual state to go through a process. Seriously, just get over yourself.

If I had my way, there wouldn't be ANY announcement until the next morning.
