I am not George Best

I don't think that an afternoon drinking beers, gin, and vodka is conducive to playing football well. I managed to play but it doesn't lend itself to staying up all night watching the election.

The feeling on Newsnight is that there will be a string shift to Obama but they're also being cautious. I hope this will be like the night in 1997 when the country turned red. Except that it's not this country, it's America and I want it to turn blue. Add to that the massive states in the middle which will always be Red States but don't have many votes in the electoral college, it won't look that blue. I hope it happens quickly or it's going to be a long night.
