The PA call is BS

How many decades will it take to undue the damage the Left will create after this?

Charles, THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking care of us tonight. You so totally rock!

I'll see you in the morning. LGF = way too slow.

With 3 comments, I call this thread for McCain as well!

I'm calling VA for McCain.

I've seen 0bama mentioned in threads on LGF, so by MSM standards, I'm calling LGF as a pro-0bama site.

Good, the dinger is working for me on this thread.

I am with Sharmuta, calling PA so soon is ridiculous.

re: #1 Sharmuta

The PA call is BS

Calling before the bitter clingy coal miners precincts have checked in.

Ahh! Fresh thread.

I am sorry to all PA lizards for my comment about PA in the last thread ...I need to get a grip ...

"The best-beloved of all things in My sight is JUSTICE... turn not away therefrom..."

With no scientific data, it appears RINOs are goners, conservatives are holding on.

lol, ABC called Pennsylvania I heard... with .37% of the vote in.

Don't drink the koolaid yet...

BTW, this new google map thing is broken. How did Burkina Faso vote? I can't tell.

WooHoo! Oklahoma for McCain!

Fox has McCain with 50% of the popular vote, O with 49%.

So the People's Republic of Philadelphia has gone for BO.

What about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

McCain officials dispute PA being called for O.

I want to thank everyone for watching the results for me and posting here. If I were to watch myself, I may break a lot of stuff I won't be able to replace should 0bama win.

/Fingers and toes crossed, and lots of praying tonight

I call shenanigans on PA.

Florida's catching up!

Is there any way I can get rid of that map at the top of the page? I think it's slowing me down...

McCain within 4 in Florida.

re: #1 Sharmuta

The PA call is BS

Yes it is. I'd advise everyone to be patient about PA and OH.

I'm having problems with the PA call, since it seems to be from Philly precincts. Not areas in which McCain would do well.

Hello all! I'm in Safari and it is weird. It said I needed some plug-in it won't install. Downstairs I couldn't get a comment to post. We'll see how this works.

thanks

Looks like FLA is back in play.

Good call Lizards.

re: #20 Who Watches the Watchmen?

I concur. BS

Call your friends in the Mountain and Pacific time zones. This isn't over. I think the PA call is premature. VOTE!

(reposted from the end of the last thread)

Screw the projections!

In an ordinary year, they might mean something.

This election is SO far out-of-the-ordinary, even those statisticians trying to do an honest job can't guarantee that past behavior will predict current trends.

Not to be pessimistic, but looking at the Wall street Journal interactivemap, it looks like the counties that have reported are bluer than last year. The degree of blue and redness indicates what percentage of those votes went for hat candidate.

It has the 2004 map next to it. Overall, it doesn't look good. Of course, it's not over but it's gonna be a nailbiter.

Crap. On a lighter note, I did get to vote against Kerry, again!

I'm in PA-the turnout was high in the suburbs in the AM but dwindling once it started raining. Plus, the lawn signs were 50-50 where I live, which was not true four years ago when it was heavily Kerry.

If they're using exit polling (the MSM loves it), you can bet that Obama will be declared the winner before the polls close in CA. You'll note that they've called PA for Obama with 0% (that's zero percent) reporting.

PA STILL listed for the one. . .

john Bolton just joined the bbc panel.This should be interesting

Remember in 2000 how the media called the election for Gore, causing many people to stay home? Remember how the media and its polls always overstated the Obama votes in the primary. Or, how the media yelled at Hillary Clinton demanded she drop out of the race?

BEWARE OF THE MEDIA EXIT "Polls", whispers and States called. They lied to us before—believe they will lie again.

One Thought if McCain loses tonight:

Fox just called Ohio for Obama. Obummer.

I voted for Jimmy Carter back in 1976. I regreted that during those four years he screwed up the country. I remember 21% interest rates, 18% inflation, the desimation of our military and the Iranian hostage crisis.

This thought just popped into my head: We became a stronger country after the Carter Presidency. Thanks to Reagan. So if McCain/Palin lose tonight, I will hold onto my wallet and pray that BHO doesn't destroy the country as Carter did.

We will comeback a stronger nation.

re: #131 Parker in US

re: #168 Iron Fist

I am afraid you are right. The majority of the population has completely forgotten about 9-11. They are more concerned that we don't hurt the terrorist's little feelings than stopping him from blowing up a building or hijacking a plane.

No, they are against nation building. That's the lesson of Iraq. Bush thought that "because" Muslims worship the same god as Jews and Christians (sorta like they belong to a different civic league, but it's a civic league) that when freed from tyranny, they'd be like the rest of us. Not. Then there's the cost in $ and bodies. Frankly, the bodies is a very low # historically, but the cost is really hurting us. So we're not going to hit Iran because you break it, you pay for it, and Iran can't hit us now.

Florida is tight... But I hope the panhandle will help!

Actually, most polls and voter interviews have shown me that this is a one-issue election, at least for Obama voters: which candidate has promised to lower my taxes most. As if the President writes the tax code.

I wonder if they will remember why they voted the way they did, when the magical tax cuts don't happen.

Yeah, but Carter was just a well-meaning idiot, not an avowed Marxist. I just hope Nancy Pelosi's utterly inept management of the House Democrats keeps Obie from accomplishing anything until we can get a Republican majority in both houses in 2010 (which I promise you will happen if he wins).

re: #182 pegcity

Projectile-like.

I think that assuming 0bama wins that the people that voted for him will regret that vote within a year of the election. He has given the Hope/Change mantra so much that people will expect it. And the fact is that he won't do anything. There won't be healthcare for everyone, he won't pull the troops out of Iraq, people will notice that he has no ability to run an administration.

I think two years from now we will see a big change in Congress towards conservatism much like the Clinton years.

Racist

I Obama wins Ohio by less than 200,000 votes, McCain better file a suit. remember those 200,000 suspicious registrations the Secretary of State refused to cross check. The courts evenutally sided with her.

McCain with a slight lead in Ohio according to Secretary of State webpage. Franklin County (Columbus) not reporting yet.

Ah shit. Murtha's up to 55%.

Allow me to describe the perfect storm of my frustration:

- American voters seem about to elect Obama president
- They also deliver a larger majority in the house
- They also grant him close to a super-majority in the Senate
- And, to top it all off--and this is the kicker--with this slate of almost complete power, they will take responsibility for absolutely nothing, because EVERYTHING will be George W. Bush's fault for the next 4 years at least. They are in the dream seat.

America will only become weaker over the next 4 years

Funny how the maps show states too close to call but they are already called...2% reporting to me is not a state...50% to me is barely showing a trend...

We will have a reversal before the night is over.

MI is a surprise...

There are just waaayyy too many states that have little to no precint reporting for it to be called..

On behalf of sensible Michiganders, I would like to apologize to the whole of the United States for the re-election of Carl Levin.

You might make up for it with McC.

re: #202 Iron Fist

...I don't thinkmost of them really understand how far Left Obama is.

Bingo. I have said for weeks, if most voters were very liberal and wanted a very liberal President, then I would feel better about this. But I really think they either don't know how liberal he is, or they don't know what it means to be liberal.

More NPR madness:
New Mexico called for and added to the O's total but... 3% reporting with McCain ahead 57/42...
Yargle...

Wonder if the libs and nutroots will be as gracious in their winning as they have been over the past 8 years of BDS?

re: #192 Dahveed

Updinged you on that one - and good points, all of them. Without a super-majority, he won't be able to "accomplish" much of what he wanted to do.

The founding fathers were true geniuses...

If we lose, we lose. The world will go on. Everything that happens from now on will be the democrats to own. They will succeed or fail. They were in our position many times more than we, and they clawed back to win it all (if that is the case). WE are the anti-establishment.

re: #203 Emery Calame

Ah shit. Murtha's up to 55%.

Shows:
#1 True Liberal elitism. (his comments and B-Ho's many, many comments)
#2 People really are that stupid...

Really now...people like being called racist and redneck?...sheeple WT(holy)F!

WTF? Why did they bother having the election if they can call states with hardly any votes. Would have saved us all a lot of effort.

The gap seems to be closing in Florida

Um,

What's Ken Starr doing these days, anybody know?

re: #226 Elle Plater

The gap seems to be closing in Florida

That's because the panhandle votes are finally coming in. :-)

Ok, OH? I am confused. . .

No PUMAS?

PUMAS were elitists. They could afford their own gas and mortgage. Rank & file entitlists outnumber them.

re: #218 Iron Fist

We need to work as hard as we can to make his Administration a living hell. After all, he isn't just a candidate, he's a god. He needs to quit slacking and make America a utopia with pixie dust and unicorns.

I hope that the Senate Republicans fight him tooth and nail when necessary. While the Senate is suppose to be the more temperate side of Congress, I expect every Republican Senator to filibuster any attempt to diminish America's standing as an economic and military superpower. We need to make life for Obama hard when he strays to far to the left.

Lets just hope that the RNC has their act together for 2010.

Gottenyu!

So, mercy me. . .I will most likely lose my job by year's end. . .hell, month's end. . .

NOBAMA

No supermajority. Denver Post called CO for Obama, Fox won't. Unlike most states, the rural vote here is much more dem than the large metro areas, and the big cities are much more to the right. The city vote comes in last.

It's 9:45pm Eastern Time as I write this. And it's obvious Obama has won.
Karl Rove called it for the "One" yesterday.
"In an electoral college map prediction posted on his website yesterday, "Rove & Co", gives the race to Obama by a margin of 338-200 electoral college votes. "
[Link: www.rove.com...]

I don't see why pretending is going to help.

I voted for McCain (and living in Massachusetts I knew my vote wouldn't matter in the electoral college,) but I think you guys need to face reality.

1) The stock market crashed.
2) Bush has the lowest presidential approval rates in my memory.
3) Not too many people are happy with the way the wars are going in the Middle East.
4) Oil prices have gone crazy.
5) The automotive sector announced things haven't been this bad since 1945.
6) Many minorities and young people were actually excited about voting, and they didn't vote for the old white guy.
7) The MSM was totally in the tank for Obama.

I can think of dozens of other reasons, including McCain ran a terrible campaign.

Anyway, the pendulum has to swing. Eight years of Clinton, eight years of Bush 43, and now? Well it's time for Obama to get his chance.

I feel sad for McCain. If things had gone a bit differently he might have been President in 2000, instead of the current occupant. I think he would have made some different choices in the Mideast...but that only happened in some alternate reality.

Barring a miracle, the fat lady has sung.

Kiernan is ready to rush to judgement. I'm not.

re: #184 REMESSIS

This is how freedom dies... with thunderous applause

Truth, that. I don't think we will ever get our country back if Americans are so clueless that they would put a man like this in the presidency. Until tonight, I thought that the American common sense would prevail. Freedom is being lost by selfish people who care only for themselves. Unspeakably sad.

Well, my plan if the big zero does win is to cash in my IRA and take the tax hit this year before the taxes go way up. Then I'm going to keep my money in a very low interst account to prevent having to pay taxes on it. I'm old enough to file for Social Security benefits for myself and my wife so I'll shut down my consulting business and only work enough to cover my mortgage payments. That should allow me to escape the big zeros tax increases while also not funding any of his spending.

Who is John Gault? We all are (or should be).

I've been running estimates all night. Calculating the % reporting versus how much the unreported precincts would have to shift in McCain's favor to turn the tide.

I'll say from here (with a heavy heart) that Florida and North Carolina, and potentially Virginia, are losses.

Now, I have work to do, and a life to get on with.

Palin in 12.

Congratulations, Comrades. Won't you all join me in welcoming Dear Leader?

Maybe the ill will form a line and he can touch their foreheads.

I wonder how long before euphoria in this country turns into OMG - what have we just done?!?
