Who Needs Sleep 4

3:56am. THIS IS THE final pre-election projection map from Fivethirtyeight.com.

So far the results are following this map 100%. That's quite a change from the past couple of election cycles. In the last two elections ('00, '04) the projections and exit polls proved to be flawed, creating a 'self-evaluation' moment for polling firms and political prognosticators.

Did they learn their lesson?

Note: John (my b-in-law) is still up -- we're going strong.
