Excerpt:

ust print out our hour-by-hour analysis below (and keep our final Electoral College analysis handy), slip the popcorn into your microwave, sit back, and enjoy the evening. By checking the results in key states, you'll get an early indication of what the final tally may be. Or you'll see that the U.S. is heading toward another 2000 Florida-esque mess. Here goes:

6 p.m. EST. Polls close in Kentucky and Indiana.

This isn't important unless Kentucky is close. If Kerry is holding Bush to a single-digit lead, he's faring better than expected in national polls.

For a bit more drama, check out the Kentucky Senate race: If Republican incumbent Jim Bunning is losing to Democratic challenger Dan Mongiardo in the wake of a series of strange statements by the former Major League Hall of Fame baseball pitcher during the campaign, it could be a sign that Democrats have a chance to regain the upper chamber.

And if the Democrats upset incumbent Republican Representative Anne Northup in the Louisville district, they might be on track to pick up seats in the House.
