All of the news websites already have long articles written and posted. I would love to read the "McCain won" articles, just to see what they said.

Appropriate, considering how screwed the nation is.

Well, that's how he glad elected...so naturally it's a multiracial coalition of happy people. I was just noting how MSNBC has shown tons of footage of black students at historically black colleges and at black churches and lots of crowds of specifically all black or whatever...so I could imagine the horror in a hilariously cynical way. I'm not enjoying what the commentators are saying, but I guess that's the only approach they can take...

But since it's all projections, couldn't the votes that are yet to be counted be so heavily McCain-ized that he would then win? See, I literally don't understand. Epic brain fail. |

Relax, Chicken Little. If this country survived the "leadership" we had to suffer through for the last 8 years, we'll be fine, just fine... Well done, America. Well done.

I'll be watching the mailbox for my "black president" check to show up... unless I don't get one because I didn't vote. Then I'm just gonna be pissed.

Oh, Carl Rove just said the Cosby family was a "black" America's First Family, so this isn't a first. Yeah, same thing.....

Welp, MBBF inner polls were absolutely off target by a wide wide margin.

CNN had stats earlier showing that age was a bigger factor than race - just FYI.

He might be one to watch. The fact that he is a (R) in a district that contains Janesville (GM plant that is closing) Racine and Kenosha (pretty much Milwaukee) is telling. I wonder if he'll someday look to succeed Jim Doyle as Governor or maybe waiting for Herb Kohl to retire from the Senate. Feingold is unbeatable in Wisconsin so he'd be crazy to run against him. He would even possibly be an (R) I could get behind, so that tells me he's probably not your kind of (R), Jon. |

how amazing must it be for the older generation of black people to see this.
Despite what side you fall on, we are witnessing a form of history tonight that comes along once in a lifetime. |

Times are changing. Two black players in New Jersey and now a black president-elect. I can already see the Jamaican bobsled team winning the gold in 2010.
Yep, this check had better show up soon.

Florida's Gay Marriage ban amendment: 75% reporting, 62% "Yes" (needs 60% to pass)
Arizona Gay marriage ban amendment: 58% reporting, 56% "Yes" (don't know what it needs to pass). California is just 2% reporting, but 56% "yes". Last edited by sabotai : 11-04-2008 at 10:20 PM. |

Is McCain going to cry?
I have all the respect in the world for John McCain. I am however glad Sarah Palin will not be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

OK. This has bothered me the ENTIRE election. Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I don't recall any election, and I haven't seen anything on the Obama side during this election, where there is so much booing from the crowd. McCain is doing his concession speech, and says "I just had the pleasure of speaking to Barack Obama a few moments ago" and people start boing. What the hell is wrong with these people?
On another note, for those that don't know, I live in downtown Washington, DC. There are tons of cars driving by with a cheerful honking. There's also a lot of local footage of people cheering in the streets (only 6 or so blocks from me, but I have already settled in for the night. )

Young versus old and frankly, a very well run campaign versus one that wasn't done quite as well and against a candidate who had a very, very hard task ahead of him. Sad to see McCain have to go out like this, honestly...but at the same time, this is an Obama victory borne out of sheer will and tactical organization. I'd hate for this thing to turn into something more than just a "OMGZ! Black folks win," because if were only about that...this would've happened a lot sooner. He seems calmer right now, McCain in this speech. I think he expected that this thing would go a little longer into the night. Last edited by Young Drachma : 11-04-2008 at 10:24 PM. |
