I'm ready for election night.

I spent the day drinking coffee and watching the national news spews. As the day went on I got more and more excited about the close national races and the battle for control of the House and the Senate. No matter your political bent — this election is a political junkie's Super Bowl celebration.

All that national debate got me exited about covering the election night fun at cheek-by-jowl campaign events for Sheriff Mack Wimbish and challenger Donny Youngblood.

Youngblood will party at Buck Owens Crytal Palace. Wimbish is holding court at the Best Western hotel next door.

I give both of them credit for running a clean campaign. They could have made it nasty. They could have made it a high-noon blood bath of name-calling, skeleton-rattling and muck-slinging.

They didn't

When I talked to Youngblood this afternoon he said he's happy with the race he's run.

"Looking back on the race, there’s nothing I’d do differently. Whatever the result I’ll be content. I gave 110 percent," he said.

In the end it all will come down to the voters.

I love election day.
