Anything left on CNN's map flips for Obama, it's over, if you factor in the west coast going blue.

Which...CNN just flipped NM over. We're done.

Of course, just as I say this, Obama gets within 25k votes in Indiana.

CNN calls NM for Obama and LA for McCain

I shoulda' written in David Aceveda.

SHIELD IN TEN!

Yet the popular vote is still tight. Obama might not end up with a full point in the end (but then again, California might move it a couple of points).

Every time they cut to that CNN reporter at McCain HQ, I have to fight the urge to make the "Why the long face?" joke.

They just called LA? Didn't Fox call that one about a half hour ago?
(I know CNN has been cautiously a few minutes behind some of the others, I just hadn't noticed them being that far behind on any mentioned here)

VA still hasn't counted a lot of the DC area (only 25% counted with a 60-40 edge to Obama), Virginia Beach (25% counted with a 55-45 edge McCain) and only 75% here in Richmond with is roughly 80-20 Obama. I think that one will be Obama's before the night is over- it has a lot more to do with what has been counted so far.

SI

.1%? MANDATE!

Sigh. 4 years of insane taxation and a further expansion of the welfare state.

CNN is being very slow. They haven't called some stuff that MSNBC called a half hour and more ago, too.

SI

lol yeah

hey i'm enjoying them being a bit more cautious though - i feel like it's less likely they'll screw up

I'm all for that myself, since getting the call right would logically matter more than getting it first.

I believe their is some business raping and massive baby slaughtering planned as well.

And, as soon as I mention Virginia, it goes from McCain by 7K to Obama by 10K

SI

CNN is being real cautious. I am listening to CNN on Sirius while I get some work done......I almost find it amusing how McCain's campaign is still slipping in an ad on almost every break attacking Obama for one thing or the other. Is there really anything you can put out at this stage of the game to make a difference?

I don't even worry about taxation. I am just going to marry a fat, ugly trust fund chick.

Rocky Mountain News calling Colorado for Obama.

She won't be worth it after he brings back/ups the death taxes.

If you're complaining about Obama's proposed tax policies, then you must be rich enough to where you needn't worry about it.

McCain's concession speech should be fascinating.

Does he start setting the stage for 2012? Does he try to rebuild a legacy for himself? Is it even possible to do both?

I think this race came up at least once or twice in the past 10k posts, so I'll mention that incumbent Jim Marshall (D) will hang on to his House seat in middle Georgia by around a 55-45 margin.

CNN projects IA to Obama

UT+ KS to McCain

also saw on 538.com that Rocky Mountain News is reporting that CO is going to go hugely to Obama...no confirmation yet

Ill call a menage with Melissa Francis and Margaret Brennan

He made that weeks ago, in the "Obama is an okay guy" speech. The race largely ended right there, as he lost the confidence of too many core voters.

There is no way McCAin will ever be a viable candidate again. Ever.

Dibs on first in line to assfuck the rich!

Me? No. I come from a wealthy family, and will theoretically (assuming he doesn't tax it all into oblivion) be wealthy one day, as a disclaimer. I have none of that money right now, and support myself entirely.

That said, being wealthy is not a crime. It shouldn't be punished like one.

Chris Shays lost his re-election bid in CT. There are now zero Republicans representing New England in the House of Representatives...

No way McCain will go for 2012. I expect the GOP to really do some re-branding and look for new blood going into the 2010 Congressional elections.

Haha that's awesome :D

I think Obama has said yes to the death tax, and yes on raising the amount that it kicks in (I think he said $2.5 million which I think is up from $1 million).

I've switched channels from ABC to Comedy Central.

/tk

I think I'll go give a dollar to my local wealthy people. They are really going to need our support now.

You say that as though he was one this time.

However thats not generally the argument made by the "rich". Usually it's how hard theyve worked to get the $ that is the "rich" equivalent and admittedly not the hard working money you earn now.

Hey, we're sharing the wealth now, right? Sharing goes both ways!

You switched to MSNBC?

lol. Yes...I will add any tips that I get tomorrow to the Wealthy Citizens Of The Poor fund.

Obama is now neck and neck with McCain in Indiana.

LOL.

I really did switch to Comedy Central, where Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert are doing Indecision 2008. It's still liberal media, but at least it knows how to make fun of itself.

/tk

AR for McCain per CNN (heh)

So over the last two elections

House +50-60 Dem

Senate +12-14 Dem

President Dem

Deep dark truthful mirror for the Republican party coming tomorrow.

Not sure the mirror will be truthful. I've seen a lot of folks say the R's need to go HARDER to the right.

Hey, I'll be the first to admit I will not have worked for the money that I will one day inherit. That said, I've worked damned hard to keep myself living comfortably and NOT having to live off my parents.

The simple truth is....the rich are an easy target to tax into oblivion. It's the bread and circus show of the modern age. Tax the shit out of the rich, keep the plebes on the government teet, and you've got yourself an angle to be popular.

I find that thoroughly irritating.

I went from MSNBC to CC

SI

Good lord. Are they TRYING to lose every shred of credibility with 99% of voters?

I get back from lunch and you crazy fucks have added another 4 pages to this thread.

I hate the death tax. To me, it's double taxation.

Did you just wake up out of an 8 year coma?
