    US network orientated but applicable to our own good media.
    I'm reserving a special tipple for the first West Wing reference

    Drudge Report is claiming that exit polls will be released at 5:15 (that's 10:15 PM UK time); also reports that the Democrats expect 58 seats in the new Senate.

    Exit polls coming through: 62% say the economy was the biggest issue, only 10% say Iraq.

    CNBC best the best coverage. Already one Republican analyst has given the presidency to Obama. In the states McCain is so far winning, his margin of victory is less than Bush's. A popular Obama government could result in a 2012 landslide of Johnson-Goldwater proportions in 2012.
