What kind of election night would you prefer in 2012?

As for me? I used to care about this stuff pretty deeply. Not so much now. So I'd rather it be amusingly close, I think, for maximum entertainment value.

I want the only questions being whether Michigan and Connecticut, states like that, are going to Romney.

Yeah, and I want a fifty state sweep for Rocky Anderson!

A relatively quick night where Obama pops off 180+ EVs east of the Mississippi before 11PM, so I can get my drink on and go relieve myself outside the local Republican HQ.

That and the bragging and rubbing it in on Facebook.

Remember the parties going on everywhere when he won last time? I can't imagine it'll be anything like that this time.

It seems Illinois will also close at 7 ET, so Romney won't get that early lead.

Illinois usually closes at 8 ET.  Are they thinking about changing it for this election?

Why'd they do that? So the polls are going to close at 6 their time? That makes no sense.

It costs money to keep the polls open later.  Illinois has both early voting and no-excuse absentee voting, so there is no particular need to keep the polls open late.

So basically, if you're a "low information voter" who just plans on voting right after you get out of work, you're screwed.
