My friend Patrick Ruffini of The Next Right is the man to watch tonight. He’ll be calling states based on county returns — a tactic he used successfully in 2004 and one he believes will be the most accurate and fast way to watch the returns tonight.

I’ve added CNN’s election results widget to my sidebar, which will update automatically as states are called for McCain or Obama.

Meanwhile, you can follow my commentary and punditry on Twitter. If you’re not already following me, you could be number 1,000.
