For those of you interested in following how are allies in the UK are doing, the Conservative Party has made huge electoral gains and Boris Johnson (BackBoris.com) is likely the new mayor of London. The *official* results will be called in the next couple of hours.
The essential hub for all things conservative in the UK, ConservativeHome, is live-blogging the results. I'd encourage you to poke your head in and see how they've deployed Cover It Live to better report the results while also encouraging reader participation.
Regarding the London Mayoral, you should be following Boris on Twitter. And this video produced by ConservativeHome on the current (former) mayor, Ken Livingstone, is priceless:
Get ready for November friends.
UPDATE: The Telegraph has more including this reaction from David "Webcameron" Cameron:

Thanks for the plug David.
Thanks for the plug David. You may be interested to know that we called the election for Boris as polling stations closed. This was based on extremely good sources which gave us an idea of where turnout was good and what canvass returns were like. It was unprecedented call as the count didn't start until the next morning but it got the tv networks and the blogs talking!
Fortunately, we were right...
Keep up the good work...
You guys are rocking and rolling.
