On Election Day

You’d think that after four years of looking forward to Tuesday, I’d have a master plan for the blog for the day.

You’d be wrong.

I’m still thinking through what to do, but here’s the current thinking —

During the day, have a general “Open” thread, with separate posts as needed. Not going to use the “live blog” software during the day, so that the comments are permanent.
In the evening, have separate posts keeping track of the presidential race and general election news on the one hand, and a separate post devoted to Operation Counterweight race results.
The big issue for election night is whether to embed a “live blog” style feed or just rely on the normal comment function. CoverIt Live is cost prohibitive since it changed its pricing, so I’ll use some other software.

Any thoughts?
