I can take small satisfaction in seeing the last surviving RINO in New England dumped out on his ass!

(((Hi, Buddy)))

I can't imagine what you must be feeling. Prayers for you and your family. I love you.

Father, we join you in prayer for our nation and for all those who defend her. In Jesus Name, we ask You to bring victory to us tonight. Nothing is impossible for You, Our King! Amen.

[ScottinVA]

For what it’s worth, McCain is now in the lead in NC.

Oh for Christ’s sake... Murtha claiming victory.

[redk]

They have been practically begging the McCain advisers to blame her all night. Nicole Wallace told Carl Cameron as a woman she finds the media's coverage of Palin ‘disturbing’. Disturbing doesn't begin to describe what our dirty commie media did to anyone who stood in Odumbo’s way.

Ohio: 51.8% Obama and 46.7% McCain with 35% of the vote in -- called for Obama.

Georgia: 59.9% McCain and 39.3% Obama with 70 percent of the vote in -- NOT called for McCain.

Media SOBs.

This is the strangest election I have ever seen, it is 9:15 and the popular vote is a virtual tie. MSM is calling states with no precints reporting. In the meantime they aren’t calling states that have several precincts reporting favorable results for McCain. I guess, I will wait til the 10 oclock news to see whats going on.

That is 100% the same as what they did in 2000 and 2004

My son just said there is a heated elction debate on World of Warcraft tonight

[retrokitten]

Yeah, I had to change the channel really fast when I saw Murtha. I put on Food Network knowing nothing political would be on.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I still think Sarah is GREAT! and will tell you right now there is no way I will ever vote for Mitt Romney, between his people, who went to Sarah's campaign leaking stuff to the media that wasn't true and Nicole Wallace, who was being interviewed by Carol Cameron a few minutes ago and I wanted to throw something at the screen... SHE is he one who set Sarah up with interviews with Couric, and A-hole Gibson... and leaked the clothing thing to the press... YES! Sarah Palin suits me just fine.

Just saw Murtha saying he won.. that fat bastard... Right now I have no sympathy for PA.. if that is what they want they get what they get... sell their jobs, souls and our soldiers for pork.

[StarFan]

How is the House looking?

We don't have numbers yet but FNC keeps calling various races for the dems. Can't believe no one called it for Murtha yet that idiot has called it for himself and he's on stage congratulating himself.

[SoCalPol]

I sure didn’t have Bush in mind to investigate.
There are conservative Legal organizations, etc.
who can look into this.

[Majie Purple]

I’m here now...election watching company gone, & dinner/supper over.

I’m fed up with predictions vs not final votes in facts, on the tv coverage.

Still listening to tv coverage but now on line at same time.

[mystery-ak]

I pray for our military...the American people just let them down...sigh

[prairiebreeze]

Ugh. Pig Murtha up on stage declaring victory for himself.

Agree with your comment that Bush hasn’t been involved enough. He and the republicans let way too many things slide, made the republicans seem weak (actually they were a weak majority and squandered the good will given to them in 2000) and the RATS recognized weakness and capitalized on it.

Bush’s refusal to utilize the bully pulpit has harmed the country and party a lot.

[Jim Noble]

As far as myself and my family are concerned, this means war

One of Ayers/Dohrn/Konsky's favorite slogans was "bring the war home". One of Malcom X's was "by any means necessary".

Think about it.

[little jeremiah]

“Vox populi. Democracy is in fine working order.”

WIth ACORN and its massive voter fraud and the MSM a wholly owned subsidiary of leftists?

You’re dead wrong.

[higgmeister]

Time to wake up and smell the burning toast and switch on some ruthless trickery of our own...and suck up the “bad vibe “press that will come with it.

In about six months it will be time for Atlas to Shrug.

Sorry silent_jonny, I meant that post for All, not just you.
