Official Election 2008 Thread

Post Here.

 

Barack Obama leads 71 to 29 in the early returns in New Hampshire.

 

Obama won in the first town to vote.

Hasn't gone Demo since 1968.

 

El Presidente Barack!

 

I've been thinking about how this thing goes. From what I've seen, the polls don't have likely voter models that are aggressive towards big turnout in favor of Obama. So does the election follow the polls, and Obama wins by like 7%? Were likely voter models that moderately favored a big turnout for Obama wrong, and this is a close race? Is it like the Democratic primaries in states like Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia etc...where it seems kind of close, it seems kind of close, and then bam, Obama overshoots the polls and this is a blow out?

 

I kind of want to see McCain win just to rub it in Obama-nerds faces, but I don't think its gonna happen. Barack should beat that old man to a bloody mess.

 

From Nate Silver, all you can say is ouch for McCain.

El Caudillo or El Jefe would be more accurate. Viva la Revolucion!

 

I, for one, look forward to the Democrats having no opposition. We'll finally get to see what their vision truly is.

 

Some comic relief.

In my opinion, we're going to have at least two years of comic relief.

 

should be interesting. and perhaps a bit scary and unamerican.

 

Is anyone watching McCain's rally in Prescott, AZ? The guy seems like he's going to cry.

He knows that he lost. He looks so defeated.

Barring some miracle, given McCain looking defeated, it looks like Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States.

He might also be having health problems. Like when he was trying to thank Joe Liebermann, he couldn't finish his second.

 

This McCain speech is amazing. The guy either knows he is getting murdered today, or is having health problems.

McCain needs to wrap up this speech and get out of there, because no matter what, this isn't good for him.

 

I thought you voted McCain?

Will you be sad if Barack makes your personal, family, and business worlds much better than they have ever been?

 

Greg Oden is a Nerd????

Yeah, you tell him to his face.

 

Are you Tottenham, are you Tottenham, are you Tottenham in disguise?

 

just went with my wife to stand in line with her while she waited to vote here in Virginia... the line was a mile long before they opened. I sat outside the door to the school and people would walk in and see the line and turn around and leave. I can't believe people didn't think this would happen. Especially with Virginia being close and a state that both parties need. To just turn around knowing that your vote can help is just crazy to me.

 

I used to live in Loudoun County.
