Alrighty, this is it. We'll be posting results as they come online. Meanwhile...

...Log Cabin republicans, poor befuddled creatures that they are, cry foul over Maureen's vicious anti-gay literature; they had previously given her $8,000 and volunteered for her. Suckers. (NY Blade [1])

...A phone call I just placed to Lipris reveals hectic activity in Great Neck. I also hear Port Washington is surpassing expectations.

...Keeler and Pollak are out in the field.

[Update1]: When results come, they'll be posted here [2].

[Update2]: Just posted a diary on DKos [3] about those illegal republican shenanigans [4].

[Update3]: It's 8 PM, the polls close in an hour.

[Update4]: Kickass; top of the Rec list on DKos. Polls close in fifteen minutes, and I'm now hearing that Great Neck looks "very good".

[Update5]: 9:04 PM EST, polls have been closed for four minutes. Results will begin trickling in in about fifteen minutes or so.

[Update6]: 9:15, no results yet. Response on DKos has been amazing; people are outraged at the tactics being employed out there. Lipris reports [5] that Maureen's gaybashing flyer - here [6] - got us two extra votes at least.

[Update7]: Just got off the phone with Brian Keeler - "NyBri" - who says the mood at HQ is 'cautiously optimistic'; Brian says he's never seen an operation like this before in a state race, and he should know, having run in one. Five million clams in as many weeks: everyone's in uncharted waters right now.

[Update8]: Yay, first results!

Craig 481, Maureen 269 (9:29 PM)

[Update9]: More [7], 9:30 PM:

Craig 1,499, Maureen 1,035. (40 EDs of 264)

[Update10]: 9:40 PM, 64 ADs counted (of 264), Craig 3,908, Maureen 3,302. Craig's lead is expanding in absolute terms.

[Update11]: 9:48 PM, 85 EDs counted, Craig 6,272, Maureen 4,557.

[Update12]: OK, we need to start hearing some talk about a concession here soon. As of 9:55, with 92 EDs, it's Craig with 7,385, Maureen 5,119. His lead has gone up with every addition. Hint, hint.

[Update13]: 111 EDs (of 264), Craig 9,693, Maureen 6,772, 10:00 PM.

[Update14]: The Albany Project [8] joins the party. Meanwhile, at 10:08 PM, it's 174 EDs counted, Craig 15,090, Maureen 13,338.

[Update15]: Crap. Craig 19,958, Maureen 20,797, 230 EDs reporting.

[Update16]: Nevermind. Craig 24,434, Maureen 22,276, 251 of 264 EDs reporting.

[Update17]: LI Dem in the comments says the race has been called for Johnson; just confirmed it, we won.
