TONIGHT — Live-Slogging the Election

Posted by on November 8 at 19:15 PM

We’ve finally recovered from Primary Night, and just in time, since tonight the Stranger Election Control Board plans to clean itself up, don something approximating dress clothes, and dive back into the fancy world of political partying in honor of the General Election. We’ll bring you the latest news from the field as results come in, hearts are broken, careers are made, and about ten Stranger staffers get progressively drunker watching it all go down. (Oh, and we’ll bring our camera-phones again, so you can watch it all with us.)

Will former assistant professor Al Runte still be “breathing down the neck” of Mayor Greg Nickels when the night is over? Will anyone be able to stomach that visual if Casey Corr’s finger food turns out to be as bad as it was on Primary Night? Will there be a repeat of this love-in? Or this one? Will the headline on this post turn out to be oddly prescient? Will the heart-attack egg rolls make another appearance, and if so, will Party Crasher get sick on the Party Bus? Will Ron Sims still be smiling? Will Amy Jenniges find a party that tops also-ran Robert Rosencrantz’s wild, sexy bash? Will the monorail vote leave Erica C. Barnett, Dan Savage, and Josh Feit crying in their drinks?

Tune in starting at 7:30 p.m. for all the answers, delivered via the live-Slogging duo of Annie Wagner and Eli Sanders, who will be feigning an intense interest in city politics all evening. The first poll results come in at 8:15 p.m., the last at 11 p.m. Party on, citizens!
