Obama wins CT

and DEL

MSNBC called Pennsylvania for Obama but that's probably like Fox News calling West Virginia for McCain.

DC, MD, NJ, MA also called, although those aren't surprises at all.

Umm...wow. They called New Hamshire as well, when CNN has not.

MSNBC just called PA for Obama

Obama:

Massachusetts
Connecticut
New York
Delaware
Vermont
Pennsylvania
Maryland
Illinois
D.C.
New Jersey
Maine

McCain:
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Kentucky
South Carolina

MSNBC basicly just said Obama won the election

We've already discussed that. It doesn't exist, so don't bring it up again.

Yeah but it's MSNBC, you have to take it with a grain of salt. Same thing with FOX.

/tk

They did that in about March.

lol

MSNBC jerks off to Obama, just like Fox does with Bush/McCain.

Fox says Tenn to McCain.

Fox called WV for McCain earlier as well.

Obama:

Massachusetts
Connecticut
New York
Delaware
Vermont
Pennsylvania
Maryland
Illinois
D.C.
New Jersey
Maine

McCain:
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Kentucky
South Carolina
West Virginia

Dole lost to Hagan in North Carolina.

So, basically CNN is breaking down the rural counties in several states showing that Obama is out performing Kerry in the areas Bush won. Changes from 60-40 Bush/Kerry to 53-47 McCain/Obama will kill McCain.

By the sounds of it, CNN just had a live interview with the girl who works at my McDonalds drive thru.

Okay I'm here

Yeah. She even asked "Want fries with that?"

Well Biden can rest easy, he won his senate race!

Glad you're here. We were just discussing Wolf Blitzers dreamy beard.

I know its early, but based on what is in so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see Florida go to Obama and Virginia go to McCain. Which is the opposite of what the trends predicted. (And would be a good trade for Obama obviously.)

Good (if only because of that insane ad).

Also of note, that was Jesse Helms' seat, according to some guy on Fox News.

Who's calling that race?

I didn't realize that Massachusetts has a ballot question of "Abolish dog racing?".

Haha! nice.

Fox did...

I've been flipping around. The people talking on Fox News a few minutes ago were talking as if Hagan won, so I guess Fox News called it.

101 million votes in 2000 and 121 million votes in 2004. How many in 2008?

They had it at 60-39 or something when I saw it.

yeah - i voted to abolish dog racing - i like dogs

and i voted to decriminalize pot possession (well, make it a fine vs. jailtime)

Hagan/Dole: Good to know, we're watching CNN. It's a pretty wide split, but that's a similar Dem/Rep split as the presidential and governor races, so didn't think it was good enough to call yet.

You are a good man, DT. Dog racing is really messed up.

BBC says that 97% of (eligible) African Americans in GA voted. Wow. (if I heard that right)

I agree with you. I was just surprised that it was an actual ballot question for citizens to vote on. I know the big one in Mass. is repealing the income tax.

If you think it is hard on the dogs, imagine how hard it is on the jockeys!

I haven't seen this posted but google has a really cool election map that allows you to scroll over states and check voting by counties.

hxxp://www.google.com/intl/en_us/2008election/

That would only be a couple points higher than normal.

I hates it. So does my puppy.

Just got in and it does seem that Black Panther issue was much ado about nothing. That's a good thing (even though it means I was wrong earlier ;) )

I voted the same way. I also made my wife really mad by voting yes on prop #1 as well. (I voted yes on all three)

yeah - i'm checking it out

At least you admit it, Arlie. You're cool :)

CNN calls NH for Obama

Your wife likes to pay taxes for a bloated, mismanaged government?

MSNBC calls Hagan-Dole race (projecting Hagan will win)

Any Maryland-er's? I was wondering how the slots vote was going...

/tk

Fox just called PA for Obama. That means an Obama win is all but certain now.

Man the feeling on campus has been electric, I think I might get some nookie because of Obama.....seriously.

This is historical and I am so happy that I am wrong about America, although there are still people (on both sides) who are racially bias(for lack of a better term) it is not all people.

Next step is a college football playoff.

that's a messed-up viewpoint though. because the taxes are going to have to come from somewhere. so if it's not income tax it'll be property tax and a nice big salestax add-on

My wife was a school teacher before her illness, and currently is working on getting licensed for school psychology. Local governments have already said very clearly if prop #1 passes, teacher salaries will be cut. My personal belief is they shouldn't cut teacher salaries and instead should look at increasing local property taxes if need be. I am not against paying taxes. I am against paying taxes for Boston or Springfield improvements that I never see or care about.

McCain coming back in the popular vote...lol

So if Obama doesn't win, America is racist?

I have no problem with more local taxes if needed to supply worthwhile local benefits. Right now most of my taxes go to the big dig or who knows what corruption in Boston. I am tired of it.

No, but imagine the government of MA trying to find $12 billion a year to fund everything.

Racist AND stupid. ;)

Nope.

C'mon man, don't get carried away. Be realistic. :p

Stop baiting. That is not what he said.

CNN is already projecting "No" on Mass. Prop 1.

McCain really appeals to that SEC speed.

It will happen.

I'm surprised that they're calling Georgia already.

Great. Head of the budget committee when NC blew out its surplus and massively increased spending, just what we need in Washington...

Bring back the Whigs.

(I guess this is now the "election thread" to discuss all things going on in this election?)

The Florida Amendment to ban gay marriage is holding at 60% with 32% reporting (it needs 60% to pass)

I don't think any state has changed hands yet, right? I'm guessing New Mexico or Iowa might be the first.

I kind of think this one is more of a "yay" or "nay" vote on Dole rather than votes for Hagan.

CNN finally reports PA for Obama. Woo!

I thought the plan would be implemented over several years. If it's going to be implement right away, than I think it's a stupid idea that way.

Fox just called Chambliss as a winner.

Had to do a doubletake walking past the TV a few minutes ago. FXNC had the popular vote running total on the screen & for a second I thought they had typo'ed something & put the same number twice. I can't quote the exact numbers but at that point with 15 million votes tabulated the two were separated by 3,000 votes. That'd be 0.02% difference.

Obviously it won't hold up that way but I thought it was just a neat moment in time to see that big a number divided that closely.

Who did?

Afghan Whigs? I don't know about that.

I know this has been said a lot but ..

I need to see Sarah Palin in fishnet stockings.

Interesting that the main Socialist candidate picked a 23-year old as her running mate. Not as if being a socialist party candidate for VP would be a real resume booster, tho.

Party for Socialism and Liberation: Meet Eugene Puryear

Not a bad idea...

I haven't gotten anything meaningful on actual returns yet tonight, but from the last round of polling (including a couple unreleased ones) it looks like it ought to pass by roughly 5-8%.

I hope she goes back to Alaska.

ABC has (Apparently) called FL for Obama, per Greyroofoo earlier. Trying to get confirmation.

No, it would cut personal income tax by 2.65% for income gained in 2009, and then remove it entirely for income gained in 2010, so not immediate.

...or rather as the victor in this contest. Let's not get carried away there.

Do people actually find Palin hot? I keep seeing headlines and jokes that suggest that's true, but so far I've passed it off as urban legend.

I'd shave 20 years off my life for a Sarah Palin sex tape.

King Alaskan Crabs - The Sarah Palin Sex Show

I haven't seen it called by anyone else yet.

Seems a little early to me, at least based on the county by county numbers I'm looking at. But they could very well have access to numbers that haven't been posted by the Sec. of State yet too.

It's awfully close. 42% reported....2,537,179 for Obama, 2,363,124 for McCain

Looks like the PUMA threat was more of a K-Swiss threat.

Miss Alaska 1984

yeah, but the places that have reported already were pretty solid for Bush 4 years ago.

Yea, calling Chambliss a winner at this point is hard to believe, unless they feel they have some EXCELLENT exit polls.

Chambliss should win outright tonight though.

Watching the streaming MSNBC feed, and they called both Alabama and Georgia for McCain after holding off for about 15 minutes.

If the networks call Florida, does that have a big effect on Western state voters? I wonder if some will stay home if the race appears to be decided...

Seriously, I dunno why but I wanna cum on her glasses.

I think shes hot as fuck and she's ditzy, so I know she has to be good in bed.

68 people reading this thread right now.

Nothing like a little crazy chick in bed.

Did anyone notice that the Libertarian candidate is actually a cartoon elephant?

Sarah Palin has a square jaw.
