Poll Closing Times ^ | November 4, 2008 | xjcsa

[xjcsa]

First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[Jezebelle]

If we lose, the best we can hope is that the middle class is so royally screwed by this guy they’ll never vote rat again and they’ll vote in Reps for as long as it takes to undo the damage, some of which may not ever be undone.

[KansasGirl]

I. feel. sick.

[top 2 toe red]

He's been acting weird for months now, almost gleeful every time he predicts a McCain defeat...acts like every word outta Juan's mouth is now the gospel truth, when he used to smack him around every chance he got!

Not saying he's on medication, but he does act like a relative of mine that began taking prozac...

[silent_jonny]

God bless you for your Spirit filled post. Thank you.

[Domestic Church]

“Does anyone else out there think that Brit Hume may be drunk or something?”

Can you blame him?

[Becki]

I turned them off. I have Rush 24/7 on. Good thing. He has already stated that PA would be called erroneously for Obama based on exit polls. I will stay of FR for my news.

[boughtwithaprice]

NBC’s front page has a decent one. A bit biased in calling states early but the actual vote counts are updated every 2 minutes.

[dfwgator]

He’ll never be my President.

[comebacknewt]

Fox just called Ohio for Obama.

OK. Now it is officially over.

May God have mercy on our country.

[Tuxedo]

Well... that’s that. My home state with the dagger. They deserve nothing but pain and misery. The next Michigan. I actually thought of moving back there from Texas. Not gonna happen now.

[GiveEmDubya]

I don’t agree. The election of Obama will incur a massive loss of freedoms. We are no better than Europe now.

[dotnetfellow]

So then I am thinking that I am hearing that we have lost now, yeah?

[Sans-Culotte]

The TV is off in my house, I refuse to patronize the lyin' media b@stards. I'm getting my news right here on FR.

Yes, it is way too early to panic. So far, it's 2000 all over again.

[stillonaroll]

Brit Hume has announced that he will be stepping down from Special Report, semi-retiring from Fox News. He mentioned earlier today that this is his last election (as a network anchor). I will miss him.

[top 2 toe red]

remind you of anyone?

Yes...but, you know, we are not allowed to say it.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I braved it, heard ‘dire’ emit from Brit’s mouth and went back to the DVR.

[pianomikey]

“At least we have no illusions about it being anything good.”

Not quite true. If republicans can finally be convinced that wishy washy demican republocrats are excellent election-losers, there’s still hope.

A little.
