An open line for you. And an invitation to weigh in on tonight’s activities:

* David Pryor’s book signing at the Old State House (below), James Carville in attendance.

* School Board elections.
UPDATE AT 9:24 PM: Katherine Mitchell, leading 509-245, will survive Lee Nayles’ on-again, off-again election challenge for Mitchell’s long-time seat on the Little Rock School Board. Jody Carreiro, leading 403-57, will defeat Barry Vuletich for the open LR Board seat. In the Pulaski School District, incumbent Gwendolyn Williams is defeating Reedie Ray 225-51 in the only other contested board race in the county. Go here for any further updates.
I’ll weigh in to say that I wish Bill Halter’s automated lottery polling wouldn’t call during the dinner hour.
