One of the more fantastic things is the huge voter turnout which means that polling stations in many areas are having to stay open long past their official closing time. Though early intimations of a major increase in the numbers of young voters have turned out to be unfounded. Meanwhile it's still horribly close. The early exit polls have inevitably been shown to be hopelessly optimistic in favour of Kerry, but so many key states have yet to declare. Though Florida, sadly, is almost certainly gone to Bush.
