Kevin,

CNN is usually my election returns network of choice, but they haven’t called Pennsylvania and NBC/MSNBC have, so I’m switching allegiances.

When there’s something personal at stake I like to listen to the home team announcers. (There’s nothing better than listening to Ron Santo freak out on mic when the Cubs do something good.)

It looks like St. Joseph county, home of your alma mater, Notre Dame, is going to go for Obama after leaning toward Bush in 2004. My general loathing of the ND football team aside, I’m feeling much warmer to the area right now.

—John
