WhoooHooo New thread!

GO MAC!

As per my interactive electoral map via fox ...Kentucky will go McCain ... I know we already knew that but we got a win first ...

[Link: elections.foxnews.com...]

Voted after work, Southern Il outside of St Louis. This morning my wife waited 45 minutes. I was in and out in three. I was number 535 -- in the past maybe 300 would have voted there.

Obama's worthless. Too bad I can't ignore him.

Yea Kentucky 61% for McCain so far.

The media has been tremendously biased for the Democrats
It will take some time to see the real numbers

Go McCain

I should have learned yoga before tonight.

Charles, what if you put the 'Daily Archives' section on hold for a few hours - would that help ease the load on the hamsters? Just a thought . . . , I mean, its not like I really know anything about behind the scene computer behavior stuff (but I do know how to make homemade fudge).

IF Obama wins I am moving to Hebron.

I'm so excited!

Wish I could remember what % Bush got in '04 to see how it corresponds to '08.

One thing about the high turn out in this election; I remember several elections ago people were concerned that more than 50 percent of Americans didn't care enough to have a say in who is elected their leaders.

The predictions for this election is 80%, and that is simply amazing.

I dont believe this, cant even upding Buzz...no wait, yes!

Already, here in NZ, we are getting

Has anyone noticed that America is about to adopt the platform of the Black Panther Party from 1966?

# We want power to determine the destiny of our black and oppressed communities' education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
# We want completely free health care for all black and oppressed people.
# We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.
# We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.
# We want full employment for our people.
# We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our Black Community.
# We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
# We want decent education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society.
# We want freedom for all black and oppressed people now held in U. S. Federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.
# We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace and people's community control of modern technology

OK, I know exit polls are bogus, but look at Drudge.

PA +15 Obama. Totally expected, crazy pro-dem numbers...

But wait, drudge also has that based on exit polling, OH, IN, and FL too close to call.

If the exit polls are skewed by as much as they normally are, then any exit polling not showing wide Obama margins is a bad sign for Obama, right?

I won't take anything seriously short of real numbers, but I was rather surprised that that any exit polls in swing states would be close.

re: #10 WrathofG-d

IF Obama wins I am moving to Hebron.

If Aunty Red Helen gets re-elected here in NZ you will have a Kiwi neighbour. Hope you wont mind that.

I was the very first person to fill out a ballot in my precinct this morning! Got in line at 5:35 am. As I left at 7:07 am, there were nearly 500 people in line! I had fun! The people in line with me were very nice and patient, and ready to vote. And the rest of the nation can't be this way, why again?

I pray that enough Americans are not fooled by the celebrity worship and leftist agitprop techniques of the MSM today.

Alas, I am not optimistic. But I sincerely hope I am wrong.

God bless America.

IF Obama wins I am moving to Hebron.

At least you have a place to move to. I am venezuelan. Where would I go?

/can you just imagine what would happen if some white dudes dressed up in paramilitary uniforms and did the same?

I'm guessing you say that since no one on the news but Fox is reporting it (CNN had a little blurb about it too, I believe), however, since that video is at 530,000 views I'd take it to mean that the other networks aren't reporting on what people actually care about. And they're more than welcome to do that in my opinion.

Well, one of the advantages of living in middle-of-nowhere land just outside Santa Fe (aka Moonbat City) was: ZERO lines when we went to vote! We breezed right in, the election volunteers were even nice after they saw the "R" designation on our cards, and the whole thing went great!

Some moonbat-looking exit pollsters tried to accost us on the way out, but we politely declined to participate. In hindsight, it would have been fun to have lied and said we voted Obama - but I don't think my girlfriend would have gone along. She would have told them we voted McCain, and would have wanted to fight with them! That's my girl!

Anyway, I'm taking everyone's advice and ignoring the MSM for awhile. I'm "supposedly" still working now anyway -- just needed an LGF break :)

Did you feel threatened by the nightsticks?

A really dishearteningthing to me was walking out of the polling place next to a guy who sighed, "Well, I did my duty," like he had just farted into a hurricane, and got into a car with a McCain/Palin sticker.

One thing I can feel really good about is that I get to vote for Jeff Sessions. If there is one guy who will go down fighting for the Constitution like a she-bear defending her cubs that one guy is Jeff Sessions. If I could pick the POTUS I would pick him.

I only waited about 15 min but everyone in line was very upbeat and friendly. I think everyone is glad this campaign is finally over. No problems outside except some union group was passing out little snacks at the door inside the 25 ft perimeter of no campaigning. I had to chuckle because they found a loophole, they had people outside the 25 ft passing out the unions picks but they were not actually doing campaigning at the door. the only thing on the bags of snacks was the unions name.

I have a running joke with my sons - we do Mark Levin imitation contests. He does not have a voice for radio. And he sometimes sounds just downright stupid when he yells at callers. He writes well over at the NRO blog and can take interesting angles on things, but he just sounds hard to take seriously when you listen to his whiny voice get indignant.

I know there are Levin fans here, and I guess I am since I listen to his show from time to time. That said, he has an ideal voice for the newspaper business.

How can demonstratively intelligent people be fooled by this man? I keep wanting to wake up and find that this election cycle has been a dream.

My prediction, for whatever the hell it's worth:

McCain - 132,450,889, with 302 Electoral votes
B-HO - 66,666,666, with 240 Electoral votes
Others (Nader, Paul, etc.) - 10,167,934, with the balance of 13 Electoral votes split among them.

Total votes cast - 209,285,489

81.3% of all eligible voters voting

NOTE: Up to six million fraudulent votes will be cast, give or take.

There was already a line out the door. You see, they combined a couple neighborhoods at this one polling place. I remarked how there was never a line before to some others gathering, and a guy near me responded with, "Well, we've had eight years of George Bush."

We cued up at roughly 300 deep, and then I turned to the guy and said, "You know Bush isn't running this year, right?"

I didn't have to talk to anyone else in line the rest of the morning.

When we got inside, we were told people living south of a certain street (my neighborhood) would vote in the small room, and the people from the north side of that street would use the gymnasium. My neighborhood's line was only about 20 people deep, but I had to wait with everyone else before I got to that line. So, after a 45 minute wait in line, most of it waiting to get into the building, I got into another line to sign in, then got into another line to get my ballot.

Took me all of about 4 minutes to fill out the ballot and I was gone.

Drove my scooter in to work. Probably the last day I'll get to do that this year.

Worked well... the Taurus is a lot nicer than the High Standard (duh). Grip worked good, my hands (due to Doc Frankenstein) have a big deep gap between thumb and the rest of the fingers, so pressing the grip safety is an issue (so I either have to work it funny with one hand or the other).

Brought this forward from the last thread:

GREAT SITE! I hope they can keep the data reasonably current through the evening, and that they've got enough hamsters to carry the load.

The site has data for 2004 (and 2006), down to the ZIP code level. Checked my ultra moonbat ZIP code and 2004 was 67 pct Kerry, but 33 pct Bush, a lot more than I'd have expected based on the number of Kerry signs that were out in 2004 and the Obama signs that are out now.

re: #93 SFGoth

Don't know which part of MA you live in, but you could have scored the trifecta and voted against Barney Frank too. I wrote myself in against Nikki Tsongas, and am considering running as an Independent against her in 4 years.Because of what both parties have become, I would not want either label.

re: #23 snopercod

Has anyone noticed that America is about to adopt the platform of the Black Panther Party from 1966?

I believe the two gentlemen outside the polling place in Philadelphia noticed just that.

Whoa, Kentucky now 51 to 48. Freaking Liberal districts.

I noticed FOX's website is not keeping up with what I see on TV. The website shows Obama ahead in popular, the TV just showed McCain leading, with of course, a larger overall total.

re: #186 stuiec

I believe the two gentlemen outside the polling place in Philadelphia noticed just that.

Yeah like they even knew what a platform was?

All eyes on Virginia at the moment, if that can be called relatively early for McCain (sometime before the next round of states close) that could be a good sign. If Obama takes that State, then we are in trouble. We'll have to hope McCain can take PA and hold the original red states, and pray he can replace Va with Minnesota which is rumored to be close.

anyways, I am focusing on the Senate right now. Win or lose the Presidency, that Senate Filibuster is very important.

re: #134 Mike in Georgia

WOW! Just got a phone call from Sara Palin telling me
how important this election is.

I could only wish for her to call me. :)re: #158 Intrepid

Nah, but if you could spell out that word in a Scrabble game, you'd net some honkin' points!

V = 4 points
E(3) = 3 total points
N = 1 point
Z = 10 points
U = 1 point
L = 1 point
A = 1 point

Total points = 21 points

I think I'd still save the "U" just in case the "Q" comes to my rack.

re: #182 buzzsawmonkey

see above.

I spent several hours yesterday afternoon and evening making calls to New Mexico from the McCain campaign HQ in Phoenix. Most of the numbers were answering machines but of the people who answered who said they had either voted early or were voting today only 3 were Obama to 10 for McCain. One of the McCain voters was an obvious "Puma", a very excited woman who told me she was a former Hillary supporter who despised the action of the Obama people in the dem caucuses and was now a "Democrat for McCain".

I just voted at my polling place in Ahwatukee. There were a couple of elderly retired Navy guys sitting in the parking lot in a golf cart with a big McCain sign on the windscreen. Gave them a thumbs up after I left the polling place and they broke out in big grins and waved.

I'm on my way to the McCain Palin event at the Biltmore this evening to watch the returns come in.

They called fl for gore and look at the mess that made. All those people in Tallahassee, Pensacola, etc had not only just gotten off work but were out voting still and had plent of time to accomplish it as well.

They can relocate. It's not too different down here. Wait, are they complete moonbats? No f'in' way in hell. I'm not getting involved with anyone with a cultural/religious suicide complex.

Funny quote I heard today -

It's hard enough living here on the west coast (polls closing @ 8PM, east coast pundits trying to call the election before many have voted) but living in CA guarantees that my vote never really counts (winner take all state.) Permanent minority status and disenfranchisement built in...It's a FEATURE.

Allrighty then! Took me four, count 'em four, minutes to complete the voting process and that included making sure I had blackened the correct ovals for McCain/Palin, Coleman, the token Republican being sacrificed to McCollum, and against the State Constitutional amendment to voluntarily raise my taxes for "the arts". I spent just as much time at the liquor store afterwards.

It is *not* hallucinogenic. That's an old myth that got started when a lot of artists, wits, and poets (i.e., already mentally unstable) started drinking it by the gallon. Wormwood is as hallucinogenic as nutmeg. Yeah, eat a ton and you'll hallucinate. Enough B-6 will do the same.
