no. it s we went in contested in 2000 and won. that s what we got here. chris: so, that s a lot of explanation for the fact that we don t know, folks. we don t know what s going to happen in virginia. we don t know for hours what s going to happen in west virginia. now we added the polls closing in north carolina and ohio and we don t know there. guess what, welcome to an old fashioned election night with a space cowboys. right back to you.

tell. long walk. a lot of facilities. megyn: showed off the best. couple studios we might not want to include. bret: moving on. well, folks you can also watch us and get even more information if you want to log on to foxnews.com. good way to enhance viewing experience tonight. we will have full real-time data and results if for house and the senate races. also, by county for the presidential race. exit poll data. so you know we go through it so quickly sometimes on the air it doesn t sink in. look at it on fox news.com while we talk about it with the multiple live video streams and, of course, live reporting. want to get some thoughts now on what we can expect this evening from syndicated columnist charles krauthammer from washington. good evening, charles. good evening. well, let me just say one thing we can predict unequivocally is that barring a hanging chad or two here and there by tomorrow, we can be sure that our long national nightmare will be over.
