We're at the Tryst coffee house in DC. CNN has rented it out for the night for a blogger party. Abbi Tatton and Jackie Schechner are here, with a crew from CNN that must number 20. There are two huge trucks outside and a big diesel generator that had the owner of the blues bar and restaurant next door, Madam Organ, pretty upset. CNN moved the generator so his diners could eat without smelling diesel fuel.

I'm the first one here, I wanted to watch the production people set up. That's half the fun. The polls aren't yet closed so there isn't that mufch to blog about yet other than the election and voting problems which TChris and Big Tent have been covering all day.

The other bloggers are now streaming in. They are equally divided among liberal and conservative. Because of the way the room is set up, we're all mixed in together. Some people want tables, some want couches.
