Election Night Thoughts

As I sit here watching Barack Obama and his "blue states" dominate the election coverage, a number of thoughts come to mind. I shall pose a number of questions, some of them at the risk of coming across as a racist:

1.) Does anyone else find it comical that we have a live remote from Kenya when, in reality, Obama's Kenyan father had essentially no role in his upbringing?

2.) Does it require a math major to figure out that Obama is the same percentage white as he is black?

3.) If you're the McCain campaign, and you know you're fighting a losing battle, why would you not feel compelled to match the phone campaign of Obama's party?

4.) How did we survive before these high tech, touch screen, color coded maps?

5.) How can Charlie Gibson and the ABC crew call a state for either candidate when the writing at the bottom of the screen indicates that only one percent of the ballots have be counted?
