It’s been virtually impossible to pick up a paper copy of the Washington Post today (or any other major paper, for that matter), but Editor & Publisher reports that a special edition should hit the stands around 3 p.m. The special election edition, of which there will be at least 150,000 copies, will cost $1.50, $1 more than the regular newsstand price. Lots of other papers around the country are printing extra copies, too. If only Obama could win the presidency every day, every newspaper publisher must be thinking right now.

UPDATE 3:30 p.m.: We’re hearing there are lines forming at several downtown drug stores to get the paper. If you’re heading out to find one, bring something to read. From the Post: “The special edition will sell for $1.50 and should be available between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. today at the following retail locations: 7-Eleven, CVS, Giant, Harris Teeter, Safeway and Shoppers Food and Pharmacy. The commemorative edition will consist of the A section and the election section.”

UPDATE 4:03 p.m.: Reader Suzannah Evans sends in the above image of the line that’s formed outside the Dupont Circle CVS. She says this location hasn’t even started selling the paper yet. If you’d like to get your hand on a copy tonight, we’d suggest getting out of downtown and trying a Safeway or a CVS closer to residential areas.
