I am at the Rockville headquarters of the Donna Edwards campaign. Actually 100 yards away, getting my own coffee at a Caribou so as not to take what's reserved for the workers who worked in the icy mess. It is cold, wet, icy and miserable, and so am I. Took me an hour to get here from Silver Spring. I am also sick and exhausted, coming down with my annual obnoxious chest cold, it would appear.

The mood here is lightly busy, not too much to report. Since the Board of Elections extended poll hours to 9:30 PM due presumably to the weather, we don't know anything locally. Some nice people, a lot of very nice young people, a few activists and professionals from the liberal advocacy community. And if both the weather and my chest weren't so miserable I could enjoy myself.

I have no idea what extended hours mean to any campaign; the polls are still open and will be for another hour. I hate to leave but I have things to do before I die and therefore cannot afford to die this week on the road or of pneumonia. We shall see.

UPDATE: Damn, I must have missed a great victory party. Oh well. More later this week.
