USA President Race 2008

[Snick]

The results are in, and Obama WON

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) €” Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, N.H., where tradition of having the first Election Day ballots tallied lives on.

Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday's first minutes. The town of Hart's Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns' ballots but got no votes.

(Lefty @ Nov. 04 2008,13:34) The Redskins lost badly, and the Steelers won, this bodes well for Obama  

Only if it is True

[SamplerDoc]

The Count now is:
Obama at 174 Electoral votes
McCain at 49 Electoral votes

However, popular votes are at:
Obama 11,932,000
McCain 11,957,000

Makes no sense, huh

[Snick]

Gore won the popular vote in 2000, its meaningless. It will change anyhow when California comes in, then Obama will win the Electoral votes and the Popular vote.

Its all over and now we can concentrate on the Palin 2012 Campaign.

I'm watching coverage here in Bangkok on CNN and BBC world news. And I have to ask
Why the F^&%k did BBC pick Jon Bolton for commentary The guy is a right wing nut case.

Pennsylvania and Ohio to Obama.............

No GOPer has won without Ohio and so it continues



It's all over but the shouting and there will be plenty of shouting




You have your chance now Barrack........

Don't fuck it up

[SamplerDoc]

Its All Over.....
Obama wins as called by all networks with at least so far...
297 to 142
but that popular vote is much closer at:
51% to 49%

Oh well

[SamplerDoc]

Guess that football thing is right hmmmm
Frickin Steelers

[smuttleydfs]

Obama Wins

The Country Wins

The World Wins

[SamplerDoc]

Only if he does a good Job, Dude

Smutt your phone lines working??
Seriously asking dude.

[Road Runner]

So Obama wins!      

In fact it might have looked better for the Republicans if they left McCain at home and sent Palin out on her own.      

I figured the split of the votes would be close 51% Obama  48% McCain  -  in fact it's closer than I expected.

Either way George W. is gone thank f..k!

Suppose now he'll build a liberarey.              

Just hope he'll be able to find it  -  maybe that nice Mr. Cheyney will point it out for him with a few well aimed bombs.

RR.

(smuttleydfs @ Nov. 05 2008,10:09) Obama Wins

The Country Wins

The World Wins

Gracious concession by McCain imo.

[Torurot]

Agreed, VERY gracious. If McCain had talked like this throughout his campaign instead of "minder" speak, he might have had more of a chance, oh and lost the appalling palin!

Obama's "we won" speech was pretty good and tipped the hat to virtually everyone, including an acknowledgement to the rest of the world!

3 Things killed McCain in my opinion

1.) Pandering to the radical right to pull the base to his side by changing from the maverick he "was" to the schill he became.

2.) The Wall Street collapse at the time it happened and not having a clue as to how to handle it

3.) Picking Caribou Barbie. She became the punchline of the entire country and deservedly so. She has no clue and never will. Yes she excited the base and elicited tremendous crowds in her appearances but like a one hit wonder in the music field she will slowly disipate away. Sure there will be an initial push for her in 2012 but even that will slowly erode as more and more of her indiscreetions and ignorance surfaces. I feel we have seen the last of her much the same as Geraldine Ferraro in the 80s.
