First whole states close in 12 minutes.
Obama ran against Bush as much as McCain in this campaign and up to this point it appears to have been a winning strategy.
I’m in a Red State (TN)...but still don’t feel good.
It’s not over, but I’m still disappointed in the American people.
I was waving signs tonight in Jax FL.I had my doggie with me and a huge sign, “Pets for Palin!”
I would have spent the time in MI rather than PA.
So they're voting for Obama?!
We have some very intelligent and successful friends who only watch CNN or MSNBC and THEY believed the spin, they were impossible to talk to because they were so thoroughly brainwashed, we laugh at Chris, etc., but they have cut into our base badly... look at the ratings they are pulling, Rachel Maddow is running a hair behind Bill O’Reilly.
Does anyone else out there think that Brit Hume may be drunk or something? He’s acting very wierd...even knowing his retirement is coming up.
Good! :-)
We’ve got to keep our sense of humor or our heads are going to explode.
I have a DVR full of programs I need to watch...it is better than having a stress filled night.
Watching those and organizing my I-Tunes Library
Checking into FR for real news :-)
With all people have heard even with the media suppressing much of it, but with all they have heard about the character of this person Obama, and still vote for him. It’s as if they are entranced by him.
The false promises. The “eloquence” of his words. Speaking in terms of his time and the “righteous wind”.
remind you of anyone?
I want to first post the numbers I see for Alabama, where I live. You’ll notice that there’s a LOT of Dems in the lead in AL, and AL is RED RED RED. So, at first glance, these numbers make you think all is lost.
BUT, read the comments after the numbers, as well....

BUT, remember when the Israelites were standing outside the Promised Land. They sent in the spies. The majority of those spies came back, saying, “ALL HOPE IS LOST! THE GIANTS ARE TOO HUGE! WE CAN’T TAKE THE LAND! YOU HAVE TO FACE REALITY! IT’S IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT!”.
And, an entire generation gave up......lost their faith...and ended up wandering around in a desert until they died.
Tonight, it’s time to proclaim that the giants are NOT too big...that nothing is impossible for God...no matter what the circumstances look like.....and it’s time to take back our land.
But, sitting here, reading posts on freerepublic won’t get that job done. We still have work to do. Middle and West Coast needs to get out and vote. It’s your right and it’s your responsibility. Don’t sit there in a defeated state of mind with your tail tucked between your legs. Get out and vote!
Even MORE importantly, everyone, no matter if you’ve already voted or not...no matter if your polls have already closed or not. It’s time to do what you do in impossible situations. It’s time to stop sitting around and worrying and complaining. Can you change one hair on your head by worrying? Can you change a vote or an election by worrying? Can you change anything by making posts? No.
It’s time!
It’s time to drop everything and call out to God. He said, that if His people which are called by His name would humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways ...he WOULD HEAL our land. He didn’t say he might. He didn’t say he would think about it. But He DID say that we have a responsibility. And that responsibility doesn’t include sitting here clicking “refresh” and moaning and complaining. That’s what the Israelites did (well, except the clicking “refresh” part). And, look where it got them.
It’s time!
It’s time to take the land!
It’s time to bring down the giants!
I challenge you.....give your keyboard a rest......give your television a rest....and call out now to the only one who is able to heal our land. Stop trying to do things that we can’t do alone. Trust Him. Call out to Him.
I dare you to just try it. I’m doing it. And I hope lots of you are with me. And, together we’ll make the MSM shake their heads in wonder and disgust and wonder how in the world the impossible happened right in front of their faces.
Come on!
Let’s do it!
Brother I turned off the news this morning. And vowed not to turn it on again.
From what I’m hearing it sounds like I made the right choice.
I’ll let the folks who know what they are doing post the accurate info when Michael Barone gives it. I don’t want to hear from anyone else other than my FRiends.
It would help if we knew where the votes where coming from in NC...you know, like what counties (red or blue).
IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
another early start....
Amen, sj, AMEN!
Palin would be a disaster in 2012. I think highly of her, but let’s face it: she is the face of the old GOP. The party will have to accept that the country has moved left and either move left with it or stay in the electoral wilderness.
***I would hope that Free Republic purges itself of RINOs like you by the time 2012 comes around. This is not a GOP website, it is a SOCON website.
The best giggle I’ve had this evening!
