			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Election night is around the corner and with it comes all the fun. You can either watch the talking heads make early predictions (such as calling New York State within a minute after polls close) or you can head to the intarwebs for some fun. Unfortunately, we won&#8217;t have the Tim Russert whiteboard to keep us company this time around.</p>
<p>First you&#8217;ve got <a href="http://twittervotereport.com/">Twitter Vote Report</a> which is seeking to pull together reactions from <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> users. You can use the &#8220;hashtag&#8221; <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23votereport">#votereport</a> for tracking and project participation, or follow suggestions by the volunteers behind the project:</p>
<blockquote><p>If you currently use Twitter, send a message after you vote that begins with #votereport (this is critically important for ensuring that your message gets to the right place.)  Then write some or all of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>#[zip code] to indicate where you&#8217;re voting; ex., &#8220;#12345&#8243;</li>
<li>#machine for machine problems; ex., &#8220;#machine broken, using prov. ballot&#8221;</li>
<li>#reg for registration troubles; ex., &#8220;#reg I wasn&#8217;t on the rolls&#8221;</li>
<li>#wait:minutes for long lines; ex., &#8220;#wait:120 and I&#8217;m coming back later&#8221;</li>
<li>#good or #bad to give a quick sense of your overall experience</li>
<li>#EP+your state if you have a serious problem and need help from the Election Protection coalition; ex., #EPOH</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>You can also text messages to 66937 and begin your message with #votereport or use the TTY service by calling (567) 258-VOTE/8683. An iPhone app is supposedly coming as well.</p>
<p>And if you want to torture yourself, Katie Couric is hosting a webcast immediately after CBS broadcast coverage ends. You&#8217;ll be able to pull this up on <a href="http://cnet.com">CNet</a> and <a href="http://cbsnews.com">CBSNews.com</a>.</p>
<p>CNN, meanwhile, is pulling together all spectrums of the blogosphere at Washington DC café <a href="http://www.trystdc.com/">Tryst</a> for live blogging and reactions. The two blogs mentioned by the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/07/us/politics/07tube.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin">New York Times</a> are <a href="http://huffingtonpost.com">Huffington Post</a> and <a href="http://redstate.com">Red State</a> but undoubtedly, there will be a good representation by DC-area political bloggers producing content for their sites and CNN.com.</p>
<p><a href="http://mapmash.googlepages.com/election_map.html">Election Map</a> is using Google Maps to currently solicit predictions as to how the states will fall. Presumably, they will rollover to an election results map as well.</p>
<p>Of course, there will be the normal banter on Twitter and FriendFeed and you can probably find a &#8220;Results Party&#8221; in your city where local webheads will group together to watch the results come in.</p>
<p>My prediction? It will be over by 10pm and Obama will take 42 states.</p>
