I got up, had to drive straight away so I didn't get a chance to get a newspaper, then I completely forgot. Now I don't have one :-( . I love papers for such events. Damn.

www.newseum.org

Grab a headline from all over the US/world :)

It's not the paper but you can still print the cover out and save it/frame it.

8. YEs I taotally forgot
I didn't remember until a few hours ago. It's too late. My sister gets the subscription so I emailed her to make sure she saves the NYTimes. IF I remembered, I would had gone to the book store and bought copies of various papers. Don't forget to pick up the magazines though.

Maybe the papers will republish some of them. I don't know. I"m sad i didn't the papers ;(

10. I worked 17 hours at the polls yesterday, so slept all day...
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 03:11 AM by TreasonousBastard
and by the time I got out, all the papers were gone.

Tomorrow's papers are usually better in some ways, since they have more details that the early editions of the dailies didn't have a chance to get while they were being put together before midnight.

And there's always online editions.

On edit--

The library will have all the major papers in the reading room.

11. I'm too far from civilization to get the NYT
But I did get our nearest city's paper. I loved the simple, HUGE headline:

"Obama!"

That was it.

That was enough.

It joins my prized possessions. :)
