First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[retrokitten]

I don’t know why, but that has me laughing hysterically.

It will be great watching my Prius driving neighbors grow increasingly infuriated at a man they saw as the new Kennedy

Hey! I drive a Prius, and I'm the most conservative person that you could ever meet! ;-)

Plus, it's helpful when I want to get behind enemy lines...

It is still fluid.
Might just be a squeaker.

(NC has Obama up now..slim margin)

[romanesq]

Wait is this really true (still refusing to turn TV on).

Is CNN not calling Ohio?

[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.

I should include that I’ve been overall a support of Pres. Bush although as strong in recent years.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I am beyond livid at our crooked media.

[LostInBayport]

Did you see the Question 1 result? 70% voted to keep the income tax! Morons..........

Yep...the voters of Mass. have given their seal of approval to the spending orgy of a corrupt legislature and incompetent governor. This state will likely face financial disaster within the next few years, and these lemmings will be running around looking skyward squawking "Wha' hoppen?"

This night I have adopted a new attitude, one a parent sometimes gives a wayward child. Do what you want...have it your way. Just don't come crying to me later.

[milemark]

If Ohio was stolen or any other place, the RATS know how to do it and they’ll do it everytime.

We’ll never win the Presidency again..


Their playbook is no secret. Just copy it. Register all of your dead relatives, dogs, favorite ballplayers and cartoon characters. Vote 'till your hand cramps, then switch hands.

[Fudd Fan]

AMEN!

[thecabal]

That’s dandy, but when did we change from a representative republic to a democracy?

[goldstategop]

Obama will take OH and NC by less than 50%. A lot us who voted for McCain feel cheated. We're not going to recognize him as a legitimate President. And yes - I suspect there was vote fraud and cheating.

and, isn’t it interesting that in the last week some were making a case Bambi is the spawn of Malcom X

[arkady_renko]

Yeah, this thread turned from a results thread to a blame thread a few hundred posts back. Is there a results thread running anywhere?

[Sans-Culotte]

Its all this bullshit denial for the past 6 weeks that insisted all the polls were wrong. And people like me who tried to put forward a more realistic were shouted down.

I'm not saying the polls were wrong. I just want to see more votes counted.

[silent_jonny]

(((Repub4bush ))))

So good to see you. God bless you!

[longtermmemmory]

I find it journalisticly repugnant that FNC is not talking about the ACORN fraud.

[tomkat]

*** 6,188 out of 9,281 Districts (66.67%) Reporting Statewide ***

STILL tightening with 40% of districts (the T) yet to report !

[Darth Republican]

FNC was a half step up from public access tonight.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

McCain back up in NC

McCain called for California??? (Fox Map)

[Mad_as_heck]

Agreed. I’m inexplicably jazzed at the moment. Guess its more in my nature to be a revel that defend the powers that be.

Obama’s a disaster elect and lots of ugly is-a-coming but I think he may prove to be a nasty cloud with a silver lining. He’s going to fail. Spectacularly. Publicly. The country is going down the tubes and that is our best hope of saving it.

America has become rich, fat, and self-satisfied. So has the whole western world. Its about to get poor, skinny, and scared as hell. In that chaos, there is opportunity. Big opportunity for pushing real reform, real change. If mentioning the word “change” doesn’t get rotten fruit thrown at a candidate in two years time.

When the peasants who elevated the Tin Pot God to his pedestal decide to pull down their idol, we must make certain we are the alternative.
