Hey! No debating! 
But for real, posting a comment and then saying 'nobody respond to this' isn't how it works. And yes, that absolutely goes both ways. Now, try to keep the debating and side-discussion to a minimum.
You know how many polling places do not allow campaign pins, shirts, etc within 100 feet of the door? Same deal here. Let this be the official ScionLife polling place and leave the debating next door in one of the other threads.

Yup. Pretty amazing, really.
Making Light, the blog co-edited by Boing Boing's community manager Teresa Nielsen Hayden, was the first site on the web to publish voting totals from a district that's reported in for the 2008 US presidential elections. TNH explains:
It's a silly distinction, but it's the best we can do with our far-flung staff of reporters. That is to say: our co-blogger Jim Macdonald lives just a few miles from Dixville Notch, NH. It's the home of The Balsams, a surviving grand resort hotel from the 19th C. They've got less than two dozen registered voters up there, and New Hampshire law says that if every registered voter in a town has voted, they can shut down the polls and announce their results.
Every four years, The Balsams starts voting at the stroke of midnight on Election Day. Everyone gets their own voting booth. They finish and count up as quickly as possible, and are always the first district in the country to report in. Jim Macdonald was up there tonight with his laptop, waiting to hit "publish" as soon as they announced their numbers. By the way:
Obama: 15
McCain: 6
Minutes by which Making Light beat CNN: 5

Yeah, it's over. When someone on Fox News says that McCain has no chance, you know it's over.
Yes, I'm actually watching this on Fox News. It's funny seeing the fair and balanced channel that is Fox News crying to say that a Democrat is winning.
