Presidential Results Thread

Was just on CNN.com and they projected Obama to win Vermont and McCain to win Kentucky - no big surprises so far.

I'm waiting for Virginia - that is the key state IMHO

For VA, I'll say what I said a long time ago: Obama (FTW!)

On another note, CNN.com election center is really neat.

Exit polls look promising, but we all know how accurate those were in 04.

Computer simulations have shown that if Obama wins either OH or FL, then McCain has a less than 1 in 10,000 chance of winning the election. Both are looking blue at this, albeit early moment.

NC looking good, VA not so much

kinggovernor · 11-04-2008, 08:39 PM

PA for Obama
Georgia for McCain

Obama gets PA! I just heard Texas is 51-49 McCain, I will seriously shit my pants if he wins Texas!

David Octavius · 11-04-2008, 08:40 PM

Huge win for Obama to get PA!

Florida is breaking towards Obama also - he gets that and NC and it's pretty much over

Mea culpa.

That would have made it look like the NU vs OU game the other night had that happened.

That's probably a good thing, a Democratic pres and controlled both houses of congress is good, imho, as they will get stuff done, but the other side deserves their rightful place at the table as well.

Good. Now they can kick Lieberman out of the caucus.

Agreed

A total republican dominated government sucked for us, the same would be if it was totally dominated Democrat government...

I did vote for a democrat for the House seat though

But he has been ok for us

HughRuss · 11-04-2008, 08:48 PM

So, I predict a full-fledged cluster-fuck

It will also allow the Republicans to look stupid still with filibusters and whatever other stall tactics they were accusing the Democrats of over stupid issues.

I never understood what happened, he disagrees on one issue and then you guys kick him out?

We haven't kicked out Chuck Hagel.

His support of McCain for president covers more than one issue.

And he didn't get kicked out of the party. He was voted out.
