  It's the Final Countdown

  Posted Monday, February 04, 2008 4:57 PM | By Chadwick Matlin

  The cable news tickers are going to be in overdrive tomorrow night. With so many states’ results coming in all at once, it’s going to take some restraint for pundits not to extrapolate meaning from early wins on the East Coast. But in this case, all Feb. 5 politics really are local. Below you’ll find an outline of poll closing times, after which we’ll start seeing some of the first returns and exit polls. Still, we could be in for a long night. (All times EST) 

  Afternoon: West Virginia**

  7 p.m.: Georgia 

  8 p.m.: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee

  8:30 p.m.: Arkansas 

  9 p.m.: Minnesota*, New Mexico*, New York, Rhode Island

  10 p.m.: Arizona, Colorado*, Kansas*, Utah 

  11 p.m.: California

  12 a.m.: Idaho*, Montana*, North Dakota* 

  12:30 a.m.: Alaska*

  *Time is an estimate because it’s a caucus state.
