Please support Mother Jones with a year-end donation. The truth is, we're a long way from our $600,000 goal, and we have to get as close as we can by Tuesday so we don't have to make hard decisions come January. If you value our reporting, please consider pitching in today.

$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

Just an FYI, folks — MoJoBlog and Kevin Drum will have coverage of the election all day and all night. We know we’re not replacing CNN, but visit us for analysis, under-the-radar stories, and our typical panache.

For now, we’ve got four stories that went up late yesterday: Kevin Drum’s “The Great Persuader,” about the challenges Obama will face should he win; my “Election Day Arrives: Should Obama Supporters Worry?” about whether the supposed tightening in the polls should give anyone pause; Laura Rozen’s “Getting Ready for President McBama,” about a Congressional honcho who is ready to work intelligence in a McCain or Obama administration; and Adele M. Stan’s “Howard Phillips’ World,” about the Constitution Party candidate who could provide inspiration for the GOP.

Hope to see a lot of you over the next, oh, 17 hours.
