Stop sweating it, Obama has won.

I'm not sweating anything at this point, I'm fairly sure he's going to win.

Is that what the congrats was for?

Yes.

I'm just wondering if they're gonna still call it the white house when obama says "welcome to my crib".

I have to admit i was a bit scared when I saw a headline earlier today about major voting problems with machines and ballots in PA and VA.
But right now I am finally feeling confident and relaxing a bit.
but not completely.

Anyone planning on going to a party after it's announced?

Maybe I'll give a free day to my classes tomorrow. But probably not.

We have a few McCain junkies in our science department...figure that one out...they've been all pissy lately and will definitely been in a shitty mood tomorrow. We aren't supposed to make overt political statements, etc. in the classroom but they definitely do - laughing at kids who had Obama stickers on their binders, rolling their eyes at the kids who talk about him...and they had mccain stickers on their walls. Not a big deal to me because this stuff has always happened in schools, but I think I'm going to hang Obama posters in their rooms tomorrow before they get there.

IF he wins, of course.
It is still not over...no bush states have gone to obama yet AFAIK.

I was invited to one tonight, but sadly I have a presentation to work on. Sucks, as this will be a historical event for the US. Oh well, I'm going to have a drink anyway.


btw.. Woot! MN to Obama! No surprise, nor is it official... but I still like to cheer when my state doesn't suck.

The Democrats Abroad party is at a great Brazilian Flamenco bar nearby. I'm a bit tempted, I'm sure it'll be quite the soiree.

OH TO OBAMA. IT'S OVER.

New Mexico, too!

I was invited to a party at Buffalo Billiards here with a $500 bar tab that I could partake from, but I couldn't go.

I picked up some Newcastle on the way home though.

I'm more focused on the senate seats right now - so far 5 seats have flipped from republican to democratic. I think they need 5 more to get 60 - counting Bernie Sanders, but not counting Benedict Lieberman.

I refuse to vote. My candidate's name is incorrect...

Haha. Except it should be Church's chicken...

Oh man. Nebraska may actually go blue!

This could have turned out very differently if not for the Palin effect.

God bless the caribou killa, black gold drilla.

Looks like Al Franken has as good lead here so far. However, very little of rural vote have been counted.

Unfortunately, Michelle Bachman (i.e MN's Sarah Palin, Ms. "Investigate Anti-americanism in congress") also seems to have a good lead for her reelection.
:facepalm:

lol.. 2 seconds after I edited the poll, we got two votes for neither.

I guess I can see why they were a hundred years ago, but not now.

Well, for the average midwestern town of 10,000 at least, churches are the only real community spot besides schools, the senior center and local bar where people meet.

If this were the John McCain from 2000 and with someone other than Palin (maybe Lieberman or something) I agree with whoever said this whole thing would have been very different. I wouldn't have voted for him, but I am sure a hell of a lot more independents would have.

Agreed, and I also wouldn't be as upset by a win by McCain as I would be if it happened now.

I've heard a lot of people mention Palin becoming president when McCain dies... Playing the milf card has to be the dumbest move the republican party has made in its history.


It might have worked if McCain was 55 and not 95.
