Tuesday will be a huge night no matter what happens.  Whether Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin wins, history will be made. 

I’ve spoken with some local politicans who tell me there could be surprises in some of the local races as well.  The Congressional and/or Senate races might be interesting.  The big turnout for the Presidential election could have an impact on the local races. 

News 2 will be all-hands-on-deck, with most of us working at least until midnight on election night.  Hopefully, most of the races will be decided well before then.  However, history has proven that might not happen. 

There are several ways you can stay on top of the election Tuesday night.  I’ll either be tweeting the latest all night, or having someone else do that.  Sign up now at http://www.twitter.com/news2 to follow the updates.  More than 300 of you are doing that now.  Also, sign up for text alerts at keyword: text alerts here at counton2.com.  I’m sure we’ll send out alerts as soon as the major races are called.  Of course, throughtout the night we will update counton2.com with the latest in all the races we are reporting on.
