 Happy Election Day, Janes! We woke up today with all the excitement of kids on Christmas morning. After all, what's more exciting than getting to choose the next President, Senate, and House? We know you've got a big day ahead, so here's your Morning Jane to get started, and plenty of other good stuff as well:

CJP on CNN!! I was in Rome, watching CNN on a huge outdoor screen, and like a distant cousin, there’s PM in Sarah Palin red! The Roman’s are even happier than the Americans, seems Europe is practically one big Blue State.
