The election is as big as New Years Eve this year -- although it probably won't be appropriate to kiss anyone when the winner is announced.
If you're thinking of watching the returns like most people count down to the ball drop, maybe you should consider spending this election with friends and strangers. Omni Hotels all over the country will be hosting parties in their lobbies and they're inviting all political-enthusiasts, even the undecideds.
A very patriotic menu has been compiled for the political parties in attendance. The Red Recovery is a cocktail made from citrus vodka and triple sec with cranberry juice and sprite. The Stock Market Blues is a pick-me-up for those concerned about the economy and it's made from citrus vodka and blue caracao with sod and sprite. Of course, whether you're from a blue or a red state, you're welcome to sample either of these drinks.
To soak up the liquor you may well consume to make the night go smoothly, try a Poll Slider which is a mini burger with cheese and a side of fries. You can also order up a "Pull The Lever" -- fully-loaded nachos with red and blue tortilla chips. Then unite with everyone in the room by sharing a large slice of the All-American Patriot Apple Pie.
If you live in Denver, LA, New York City or St. Louis, you should be able to find the Omni Hotel near you. But there are 43 locations for you to check out in 17 states and Washington, D.C. so no matter where you are, you may be able to find one of these parties.
