That's absurd.
It's not that absurd; they're using exit polls.
Obama is the Christ.
at moonbattery dot com. Are you lost?
Methinks Obama is about to get a good more electorals in 4 minutes
Come on, you know Obama has already won.
It's not even going to be close.
weirder shit has happened. now is not the time to get overconfident.
Wow, you really ARE level headed and moderate.
(That was funny, thank you.)
Wow, ABC has declared Texas a battleground right now. :O
If Obama wins Texas it is more than over.
Fox is seriously underreporting all night.
They just called WI, MN and NM for Obama.
and there are some seriously sad faces.
I am enjoying the little pity party they're throwing over there.
Bastards! Watch 'em squirm.
I have posted the FINAL "Honest McCain Campaign Poster" at my blog.
And Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have just begun their coverage.
Udall claims NM senate seat
That would be the 4th that the Dems picked up. WOOT!!
Though state is still pretty tight....
Indiana sorta looks like the college towns, Indy, and Gary are going blue. ISU, Ball State, Purdue, IU, and Notre Dame.
It's nerve wracking, but with the numbers coming in, I'm getting hopeful.
I just heard on Bloomberg of three scenarios that favor mcC*nt.
then there's DIEBOLD. ESS and SEQUOIA
On MSNBC, there was the shot of the Bush and Gore lawyers overlooking some of the ballots in West Palm Beach.
But, thank goodness, Obama is ahead.
But I'm stoic like my mom. I will wait until every last vote is counted and Mr. Obama is declared President. ;)
nervous doesn't begin to describe it.
I am VERY nervous. Until it is over, it isn't over. I am nervous nervous.
OH OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They just called it!!!!
Now we've got to wait on IN, VA, and FL
NBC has called it for Obama in Minn, Mich and Wisc.
I have to change channels. Ghouliani just came on NBC.
WITH GREGORY?
eom
nc and fl. is close looks like a late night. penn was key....if we can get virginia and ohio..it's over
!
calling Michigan for McCain???
Does anyone know?
We still use the bubble forms, but we're in the sticks.
They've called MI for Obama and I do believe it. There were a lot of votes for him in our red corner of the state and Ann Arbor/Detroit votes still haven't been reported.
Not happenin'.
Lookin' at MSNBC's MI map, and only 7% are counted, but nothing from Livingston (Ann Arbor), and small %s everywhere else- except Ottawa, and that's a red county.
AA is in Washtenaw...duh.
http://www.pollster.com/
Fox news called it for the O. they looked a little destroyed. Made me laugh
That is music to my ears.
Australian pundits already gives Ohio to Obama, now excitedly talking about what Obama will do for the rest of the world.
whoo hoooooo
i hope your having fun tonight joe the plumber. your 15 minutes of fame/lying is almost over.
I've got KKKristol's ability to be correct stuck in my toilet...
You'll need someone qualified.
OHIO WAS JUST PROJECTED TO OBAMA!!!!!
OHIO WAS JUST PROJECTED TO OBAMA!!!!!
OHIO WAS JUST PROJECTED TO OBAMA!!!!!
WOOOO FREAKIN" HOOOOOOO!
are you serious....game set........match
Pop is the sound of my drink....OHIO....that does it for me and the country. 'We have YOU mc same RIGHT where we want YOU!'
still use Ohio as his theme music????
ohio! Yeah!
When the popular vote is almost identical?????
take all for any states electoral college votes.
Must be to keep accountants and lawyers in business. LOL.
To stand by for a major projection before going to commercial. I wonder what it could be? Hmmmmmmmm?
Who said anything about a landslide?
Every major news network.
It's early yet
These are exit polls...so I am still nervous.
Sorry...I am still nervous.
HOPEful, but still nervous.
CoIntelPro.PronktasticlyAgainst.SCLM.E-Voting.Incumbents
we have to defeat
mcmansion
sclm
diebold
sequoia
ess
Is that because of Bobby Jindal?
NO-area is about only reliably blue area. Think of LA as Mississippi West...
I'm only familiar with the NO, Alexandria, Lake Charles and Baton Rouge areas. I don't know much more than that.
after KATRINA. OVER 250,000 WERE MOVED ELSWEHERE.
and not allowed to return.
THAT'S WHY LOUISIANA IS LOOKING REPUG.
New Mexico : Obama!
Obama takes Ohio. That's now 2 of the 3 bellwether states of PA, OH, and FL in the D column. It's all over bar the shouting.
"Game over, dude. Game over!"
Nicolle Wallace is on Fox and looks like someone stole her dog.
Thanks for watching Fox so I won't have to. But, I'll probably take a peek when it's all over. ;)
that her and Pfotenhauer go away for a very, very long time.
I am tired of seeing these lying sacks of shit all over the tubes.
And WTF is up with DeLay being on MSNBC? Hello! The guy is a friggin' criminal!!
Yeah, I saw that too. I was like WHY!!!
Has it been seen tonight?
The POS had said that Obama owes his winning style to a couple of his moves.
Like what? Disenfranchising voters?
It's time for Conyers to take care of his ass.
while pelosi is in the house
that bitch needs to go.
abso-phucking-lutely
On Fox...I think.
Hell, all these lying goopers tend to blend together these days.
SUffice it to say, all of them on Fox are very unhappy campers. Lotso bloodhound looking faces.
Everyone together...Awwwwwwww.
watch the Fuxers pout...
Ahh, I get it. They all are morphing into Britt Humes.
I agree that she and Pfotenfluffer go the way of the dodo after this election.
And Delay should be in prison. It is a crime that he and Rove are still around in the public eye. :(
Photenhauer should go the way of the DILDO. She looks like she hasn't gotten much.
this is apparently part of the October surprise, wherein they bring out gingrich, delay, matalin, coulter and the other bullshitters from the dark side.
fuggemall, each and every one of them.
Ih you have Direct TV, tune to 102 and you can hop back and forth between eight different channels w/ the push of a button.
Only way FOX shows up on my TV!
Thank goodness. Now, I'm getting a little less cautious.
With Ohio,Penn and more....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Soon you'll see 270+ electoral votes...then it's clink...with the drinks.
NBC just called New Mexico for Barak!!
ohio goes obama
With Cali due in strong for Obama (55 EV)
Add Oregon (7 EV) & Washington (11 EV)
That's the win, kids!
The delicious icing on the cupcake will be Iowa....
Also, keep pur eyes on FL
CNN just called Ohio for President Obama. That rocks!
So now Barack has 200 electoral votes. Add in California's 55, then Barack only needs NC or FL to win.
or CO with VA or any other thirty or so ways he can win.
baby jesus hears many prayers from Faux News, but is not answering
baby jesus worked hard on Georgia but couldn't come through
This election might make me rethink the atheism thingy.
With the states that have been called, plus CA,OR, WA and HI!!!!!!
I want to break 300, I wanna be sure the college wont go rogue on us.
:D
I'm still suffering some PTSD from 2004. 300 would be good.
I want to see closer to 400!
I am such a greedy, greedy woman sometimes. :-D
so we can nip the GOP shenanigans in the bud.
You got it.
No more of this center-right bullshit meme that the goopers are trying to lay down (you know, say it 3x and it becomes true).
Nope, mandate...pure, simple. No election fraud bullshit, no shenanigans, just raw WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR GOP BULLSHIT RULE.
YOUR MANDATE NEEDS TIME TO PERCOLATE!
:<[)
You deserve nothing less, my friend.
YES!! another nail in their coffin. That's a biggie.
Someone hand me a fork...mc same is DONE!
-lays out an assortment of forks ranging from the classic pitchfork to two tines- take your pick
in my back yard!!
and a live one.
the live one squeals under the pitchfork.
:<[)
I'm starting the bonfire to heat up the tar-now,either I chase down a chicken,or start slitting open the bed pillows for some feathers! Pitchforks-check,tar-check, feathers-check-sounds like a plan for some last minute campaign GOP fine-tuning!
My word...I don't know how you people can stand it...
I'm so anxious & I'm a Canadian...in Canada!!!
Thoughts & wishes with you all to see a true leader, a humanitarian...Barack Obama...given the opportunity to make your country great again.
And lord knows we need it. Speaking on behalf of America I appreciate your sentiments.
hank williams can sing the devil went down to georgia!
I'd luv to see Arizona go to Obama!
It is too close to call at last count
baby jesus thinks the silly little humans are finally doing the right thing,
baby jesus will now alter his consciousness in celebration
God bless you, Howard Dean.
I guess that trademarked scream is finally going to get its due!!
John King on CNN just showed how it's impossible for McLame to win.
I'm confident now it is over. Congratulations to our new president.
Yeah, King was trying REAL hard to make a win for gramps.... I think he shed a tear
They put out a best case scenario and gave him a bunch of states he's trailing in... and he still couldn't come out on top.
I think I'll continue to drink in a celebratory way.
The fat lady is singing!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r26_CSzk3Xw
will be to wait and see how the rats will scramble between now and the end of January.
Even giving McCain all the very competitive states where he's trailing currently....McCain still can't get to 270. It's looking pretty damn OVER! Let this be a referendum on the neocon movement and I pray to not see it or any bastard child offshoot neocon movement for the rest of my lifetime.
Anybody seen Droopy Dog tonight? He's gotta be seeing visions of his career floating out the window about now.
Yeah it looked like he and Barnes were chewing on lemons over there. Kinda funny.
lincoln broke the back of the south 100 years ago.
a black man buried it for good.
Does the Vixen News Channel have an internet feed? I want me some of that sweet Schadenfreude.
Blue strongholds still behind in reporting, but the red counties are all in or very close (over 90% reporting).
already. Big eastern metro counties (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) will all go to Obama.
i heard that tucker and joe are holding hands and dancing the night away at some seedy club on ocean ave. in miami. enjoy fellas your done....i'm tired listening to either one of you.
A little off topic...Where can I go to see how each CA Prop is doing? I know polls close at 8pm. Where will the results be posted?
I really want to know how Prop 8 and 4 did (hopefully both weren't passed).
I would think your local news would be the best bet for that. I've got 2 tvs on. One local and one network.
Polls are NOT closed in California yet. CNN will have info as soon as it becomes available. MSNBC too. FOX will be crying all over their notes, the map will be down and Juan Williams will not know what to do.
Ohh I know they're not closed here. But, thanks for the information. I have a vague memory of MSNBC doing some reporting on the Stem-Cell Prop during the 2004 election cycle. I was just making sure I wasn't delusional.
.... now I hope the Dems can pull as many Sen and Congress seats as possible!
Levin in back in for MI in any case. As if any repub had a serious chance against him. I've heard of several new seats for the dems in the past hour.
Or Wahlberg...whatever.
He took out an acceptable Republican (Joe Schwarz) in the '06 primary. Nice to see Rev. Timmy go down.
I'm in Levin territory. But I'd like to see Timmy go down too. I'm on the border and have been subject to his advertising. I'd love to see him buried.
?
20% reporting:
Schauer 49.3%
Walberg 46.2
... and I'm a bit disappointed in the MI's Sect. of State website. Not up to date one bit....
If it was 4pm on a Friday. :D
Liddy of NC joins the Dole queue. Useless woman.
"My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.
Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule."
Gerald Ford - 1974
when he pardoned Nixon?
Ford established the precedent than in exculpating Nixon, that the President is above the law.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Buchanan, et al... they are all vermin who should have been locked up and treated as traitors to the constitution.
Ford if anything started our long nightmare of 30+ years so far.
So -- this thing looks pretty good from here.
Now, we all need to start thinking about how to turn this successful night into a successful administration.
How will YOU help? What ACTION will you take? We can't squander this momentum.
Holding my breath ;)
What's the news on Franken vs Coleman in Minn?? I haven't heard anything.
45% 39% for Franken with 6% reporting
Let's hope this is a good trend. :)
Here you can check any race. Scroll down to map.
Franken 45% 123,307
Coleman 39% 107,026
It's a dead heat right now, unfortunately. Less than a thousand votes separate Franken and Coleman, with about half the precincts in.
52 to 36 is the current count.
That means that Joe the Liebermann gets the boot from his Committee Chairmanship.
Obama just overtook McCain in Virginia.
79% of precincts reporting
Obama: 1,285,980 votes
McCain: 1,277,929 votes
Is anyone else noticing that Brit Hume seems a little...cranky?
Is Electile Dysfunction.
At NewsHoggers, FYI.
Much appreciated.
