@Kim,
Well, I didn't get any response on how to play the election, so I took a beginner's guess and went long... I bought VXX puts yesterday and 8 days ago. Here's how it played out!
187% on the 8 day trade, and 86% on a one day trade! Just shy of $8,000 in gains. I can't thank you enough for the SO site. What I learned on volatility trading has been very profitable.
86% on a one day trade!

... I'm getting closer to the century mark!
