Is anyone here watching the election returns?

I'm watching The News Hour on PBS and have CNN and MSNBC online. Looks like McCain has won SC and KY but IN and VA are too close to call so far. INteresting b/c VA has elected a dem. Senator but they can't call the presidential election.

McCain add TN, OK, AL, GA

Obama add CT, IL, DC, ME, VT, NH, PA, NC, MA, DE

Dan.Linehan · 11-05-2008, 12:09 AM

Obama is up in Florida by ten percent right now..

Elrond · 11-05-2008, 12:10 AM

I'm thinking that I want to follow the election on TV. I hope Obama wins in 2 hours cause' it's 02.09 am here (GMT 1+).

Angela · 11-05-2008, 12:15 AM

Yes, this is fun! Check out the electoral vote real time tracking (refreshed every two minutes) at Election Results 2008: Exit Polls, Vote Returns, Electoral College Count (Widgets, Video)

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 12:15 AM

Wow - 10% in FL - that's huge!

Great site Angela - thanks. I've been popping back and forth between here and Huffington but I didn't find that page. I love it.

Interesting - Maine appears to have elected a republican senator - Collins while voting for Obama for president. Obama got 40% of Collins supporters - 40% split - fascinating!

Liddy Dole is out in NC. BIG. Could that all be the "godless" attack on her little known opponent?

Looks like VA turnout is a whopping 80%!!!

FL - 39% in with a 4% Obama lead.

jimbos123456 · 11-05-2008, 12:22 AM

I should have bought some obama futures contracts a year ago I think they are both scumbags but mine as well make some money! I knew the republicans didn't have a chance of winning well in advance too! What a lost opportunity!

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 12:45 AM

What a shame Jimbos - a missed opportunity. Perhaps you could start a new financial instrument in time for 2012 and make billions like the bond swap guys did. Get in, get out, get rich.

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 01:03 AM

OMG - Nico Pitney on Huffington says NM to Obama - McCain's aide said tonight that McCain needed NM AND AZ to win. Could be bad news for McCain/Palin. NM was a Bush win!

Fox just called Ohio for Obama and then retracted it and then Brit Hume calles it again for Obama. Very bad news for McCain

FL is getting stronger for Obama.

MI and NY for Obama. Now RI.

McConnel eeks out a close one in KY.

41% reporting gives Obama a lead in NC.

McCain gets KS, WY, ND and AR, WV, LA.

FL looking good for Obama but very close - 51-48.

yossarian · 11-05-2008, 01:54 AM

Obama wins!

It has now been projected to 99.5% probability that the 44th President of the United States of America will be Barack Hussein Obama Junior.

Wonderful day for America!

jawillie · 11-05-2008, 01:56 AM

Lovin' it!!!

Angela · 11-05-2008, 01:56 AM

Yeah, even the Fox News people are sounding way more glum and resentful than smug. Even Karl Rove sounds like he's about ready to concede!

Angela · 11-05-2008, 01:56 AM

this is fun, by the way -- I'm glad to be "here" with you folks.

Danger Man is off making a little film about the Bush end of days.

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 02:03 AM

I've been buying Rachel Maddow's line about not counting chickens before they hatch - but I'm counting them now. This is mind boggling.

I am just waiting to see what happens in VA, NC and FL. I lived in several parts of VA for a total of about 20 years - Alexandria, Charlottesville, Richmond, Newport News. Obama's numbers - win or lose - are kind of amazing to me.

Angela · 11-05-2008, 02:10 AM

I KNOW! Can you believe it? VIRGINIA and FLORIDA!!!

yossarian · 11-05-2008, 02:15 AM

Don't say I didn't call it

The only unknows here are Indiana and Missouri. If Obama wins those two, then we're looking at 375 Obama 163 McCain exactly as I called it in the other thread.

*Shakes fist*

Very nice..

yossarian · 11-05-2008, 02:41 AM

Indiana is breaking towards Obama, but Missouri is still unknown.

We need Missouri for that 375 landslide! 375 is the threshold for a landslide. GOBAMA IN MISSOURI!

Also, the race to look at now is Franken in the Senate. Al Franken in Senate and Obama in the White House with a landslide? That is the early Christmas present of the century!

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 02:46 AM

CBS and FOX are calling VA for Obama - I cannot even wrap my mind around all of this. I'm watching Judy Woodruff at Grant Park in Chicago - everyone there is peaceful and quiet - very surreal.

Rev. T.D. Jakes on CNN is talking about what it means to a man whose relative was beaten and thrown in a river simply for being black. Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews were talking about how the world is responding to this changing America.

It is a new world order - in this one election.

All of the republicans are gone from NE - like the loss of an endangered species - very eerie - very strange.

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 03:01 AM

MSNBC has just called the election for Obama and the crowd at Grant Park has gone wild - electrified!! It is just amazing.

yossarian · 11-05-2008, 03:04 AM

A massive karmic release for the country.

A pivotal moment for the world.

This is the election of the millenium.

The world has now officially entered the 21st century.

Elrond · 11-05-2008, 03:09 AM

SPOILER: Obama won. 275 last I checked.

ProjectX · 11-05-2008, 03:11 AM

History has been made.

WordKeeper · 11-05-2008, 03:13 AM

Karl Rove has just said that Obama's win is a hopeful and optomistic time for America. Does that seem schizophrenic to anyone else?

silicon toad2000 · 11-05-2008, 03:15 AM

even watching the web with interest here in Australia.

Alfonso Crawford · 11-05-2008, 03:15 AM

Obama won! Woo!
