I stayed up till 12:30 hitting refresh watching the ballot numbers. It was pretty clear by that point that the two big races, Governer & Senate, weren't going to be decided at a reasonable hour (if at all), and they weren't posting numbers for the County Council races.
As of 10:47 this morning, O'Malley holds enough of a lead that it's likely the Absentee ballots will not break hard enough Republican for Ehrlich to recover. That doesn't mean they won't, but it's unlikely. Edit: While I was writing this, Ehrlich has apparently called to concede to O'Malley (Yay!). Cardin seems to have an insurmountable lead in the Senate race, which is good. He was, in my opinion, the only vastly better candidate, in relation to his opponent, in the statewide races. And that, despite Rolle's far right campaign in the Republican Representative primary against Bartlett two years ago. My statewide slate ended up going straight Democrat, but I voted to reelect my State Senator, a Republican, as well as one of the two incumbent Republican Delegates (and some minor races as well).
The best news of the night was that Ken Ulman, the County Councilman who helped us in our fight against Ellicott City Cable, did get elected to the County Executive position. One other item is that we received in the mail yesterday, a letter from said cable company.
[sarcasm]I was shocked (shocked I tell you!) to discover that, having had their comeuppance, they've lowered their cable rates from 65 a month to 31 a month![/sarcasm]
Still not getting my business, those bastards
