The SUPER BOWL of Politics..1, 2, 3 HIKE!

Washington DC will be insane this evening. Here’s a brief Washington Post chart of election watching parties in the city tonight (and this is just the tip of the iceberg).

There will be red drinks for Republicans, blue drinks for Democrats and white drinks for the undecideds. Even the Ritz is getting in on the election fun: “There will rotating drink specials. Each time a state is called for Obama, blue drinks will be half-price. When John McCain nabs one, it's time to order red.”

There’s a fierce energy right now in DC that comes from being in a political epicenter on Election night. There’s something to be said about watching election results around hard core political activists, Capitol Hill staffers who stand to lose their jobs depending on the outcome, immigrants who are observing the American political process, and regular, everyday citizens who are anxiously waiting for new leadership in our country. It’s an electrifying night, the end to an extremely turbulent yet significant race and I’m glad to be in the nation’s capital to experience it.


GAME TIME!
