Official Election 2008 Thread

Diebold decided last Thursday. *looks around suspiciously*

We'll all be notified between 5-7 pm this evening.

Here's a handy little guide:

Keep in mind this is EST (Eastern Socialists Time), as it is published by Pravda, er, the NYT:

 

Anyone have any early exit poll results?

 

You mean the ones that showed John Kerry was elected our 43rd President? I think we can all wait until the polls close across the country. I actually believe that no results should be reported until the polls close in Hawaii.

 

Yeah, exit polls are highly inaccurate. I'll still want to see them, because I'm impatient for news.

 

The only suspense in this election is how many senate and house seats the republicans gain or lose.


Out of curiosity, how many posters voted yes on measure 61: mandatory prison sentences?

 

I voted no on 61.

 

Here in SF I voted in favor of proposition R

STOMP

 

Considering Matt Drudge hasn't posted any early exit polls and it's already 3 PM, I would assume that Obama is doing extremely well.

 

Please let California Measure 8 fail. No on 8! No on 8! That passing scares me more than McCain winning. I'm not even sure if I'll ever get married but it shouldn't be illegal.

 

Apparently CBS is going to call the race for Obama either after the polls close at 5 in Indiana, or 6 in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, etc.

 

Yeah, that's the election night issue I'm the most interested in. I deeply hope California does the right thing and rejects Prop 8.

 

Russert: "Indiana! Indiana! Indiana!"

 

Should I go with the Beef Stroganoff or the Double Cheeseburger for dinner? That is the important decision of today.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will be in MSNBC's election room tonight, but David Gregory and Chuck Todd will be directing the conversation?

 

Remember, other stations might call a state early, but it's not official until I call it in the Blazers OT forum.

Also, here's Olbermann's last campaign comment.

I might go get ripped before I vote. Do you think they'll care?

 

nah, i'll just drive and see how it is. hopefully the line isn't long as fuck. i voted in the last election.

 

Unless he's this guy.

And then he'll get campaign ads targeted straight for him.
