I just came on here to post exactly that!
PM_Mama: Part of the UP is in Central Time and their polls don't close for 15 more minutes so they won't call Michigan yet.

Ours close at 8 pm, either ET or CT, depending on which time zone they're in. I actually wrote to CNN this morning because they had us listed as polls closing at 9 pm ET. I thought that was misleading for the 95% of us in the rest of the state and was worried people would see that and think they had til 9 pm. About 30 minutes after I emailed, it was clarified on the big map, with the different time zones. I take total credit for that

I'm hearing that Issue 6 didn't pass (the one about the casino).

Rockefeller Center looks pretty cool too. I love how they made the map on the ice and keep filling it in with the appropriate color.
And, Michigan has been called
175 for Obama now on NBC

I voted no, but was still unsure about it. If it had been in northern Ohio, I might have been swayed.
It's Issue 5 (Pay Day lender restrictions) that I'm following closely. It will probably go Yes. Chalk one up to the Good Guys.

It's just a 15 minute L ride for me . However, we were waitlisted. Now we're glued to the tube.

I think you should go downtown anyway... Grant Park will be packed, but there are outskirts!

We batted around the idea but decided that since live-in has to get up at 5:30 for work tomorrow, we weren't going to stay out all night (which, you know we would) unless we actually got tickets into the event.
Regardless, we did our part and went to the polls today, that's what's most important.

My coworker asked me today "If we were in Chicago, you'd go to Grant Park with me, wouldn't you?" And I was like "Heck yeah!"
This would've been a good night to have GreekChat chat rooms back again.

We tried to get tickets but alas, waitlist.
The chatrooms would be sweet, but I think we're doin' ok.

What I would do to be in Grant Park!
WHY oh why did I have to be .5 miles from McCain's rally on this of all elections?

*sigh* Grant Park. I miss Grant Park. It must be so pretty in the Fall...and even more amazing with thousands of Obama supporters.
