Has anyone got a better electoral map than Fox News'? I'm giving up on them. Now they got NONE of the states colored in. Useless.

Thank you for your post. I have tried very hard not to listen to polls because of the slant towards Obomination. Right now I am listening to people giggle with glee at the prospect of O being president. It sickens me. I reminded them that only percentages of most precints have reported and many states are still open for many more hours. They don’t get it. I am hoping that McCain wins even by a small margin at this point. We simply cannot turn this country over to our enemies. O is the enemy. He is not a leader or a unifier...he is a divider. We need to stick together. Checking the electoral votes on CNN, MSNBC and FOX has them all different for McCain and not O. I hope we get more good news later on.

I have always thought that if I expect the worst, then maybe it won’t happen.

GOD is Still in Control - The sun will rise in the morning

"Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." Psalms 75:5-7, KJV "Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:" Daniel 2:20-21, KJV "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." Daniel 4:17, KJV "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1, KJV "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel." 1 Samuel 15:23-26, KJV

Obama/Biden (DEM)
50.97% 1,360,320
McCain/Palin (REP)
48.14% 1,284,836
Barr/Root (LIB)
0.57% 15,139
WRITE-IN
0.31% 8,399

From the NC BOE website. Obama’s margin has been pretty consistent at about 80,000 votes most of the night. There’s still a considerable number of votes to go, but the longer this goes without McCain making a move, the tougher it’ll be.

Phil Gramm was wrong.

It’s not a nation of whiners. It’s a nation of OJ jurors. Or Jim Jones Kool-Aid drinkers.

If he was up there by 10, then Gary and Indianapolis could only make it close.... up by 1 in NC? A GOP candidate should be up there by 15. VA at still makes sense...

The people I really feel sorry for are those families who have lost relatives in Iraq/Afghanistan. Obama called the WOT for naught. Now he'll drill that home and probably snatch defeat from victory.

This is no longer the country of patriots. It's the country of panhandlers.

I think that Obama urged them to vote early and the coal mine union wanted him until they found out on Sunday that O wanted to bankrupt the companies. It was to late for the fools that voted early for O without knowing this.

True. Lots of blame to go around. The msm for not reporting Hussein's plans to bankrupt them. McCain for not calling him out on it and dozens of other things. The sheeple for mindlessly drinking the koolaid without reading the ingredient list.

Did anyone else just have a heart attack when they messed up the OH check mark on FOX?

Yes, I was so disgusted I turned the channel and am now watching Father of the Bride with Steve Martin. Thanks to you I now know it was a mistake. Thank God, but I am not putting the news back on.

McCain needed to answer that lying ad Obama was running EVERYWHERE that McCain was taking away SS and Medicare

That's one but I have a litany of others that he should have done earlier starting with naming names on the Fannie May fiasco. Electorate thought it was the GOP's fault and no one ever made them understand otherwise. It took 3 debates before he mentioned that he tried to pass legislation back in 2005 but the dems blocked it and it was said only in passing. He never hammered it home.

The fact that one party might control three branches of gov't without oversight was something voters should have been warned about. I could go on and on!

I agree but I don’t see them retracting anything yet. If they do than it will be a blessing and not a punishment for the “listening to the tv show folks”...yes I am one of them but I am just announcing news that is it just like everyone else.
