2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign Discussion Thread 12: T=zero

Georgia called for McCain, no surprise there.

I'm very invested in this! Far more than I was in our own election.



I was saying earlier that I was mentally calculating last night what time I could be there by, today.

really? c'mon - I'll feed you and everything - no mocking, I swear - I just think it's funny you had sooo little interest in ours, and should be on a payroll for theirs I very much appreciate your enthusiasm though and am thinking of tipping off the Libs to hire you.



get. in. the car.

So, with what's been projected for Obama so far, 175, and the western safe states (incl. hawaii), he only needs 18 more evs.

 

[joyfulgirl]

New Mexico has gone blue.

Yes we have.

I'm hoping my birth state of VA is next.

 

[Varitek]

hahaha karl rove is sad.

 

[lazarus]

I don't ever come in here, but I just wanted to say that I hope Elizabeth Dole burns in her own personal hell, along with her husband, who earned his ticket a long time ago.

I've seen some shameful campaign tactics before, but I couldn't believe this woman, who formerly ran the American Red Cross, would stoop to such levels to win.

 

[Varitek]

"mccain needs to win all of these states, and not lose many"

 

[Varitek]

YES the tone of voice when fox just said ohio went obama (!!!!!) was almost as amazing as hearing that ohio went obama

ahahhahahahaha fox news will be so much more fun for the next 4 years

 

[ntalwar]

Ohio goes Obama(Fox News) - it's over.

Speaking of my car, I need to take it in first thing in the morning and get my brakes done. It better only be pads, and not shoes this time.


Seriously, you're an hour from Port Huron? I'm 2 hrs. Drive there, get on the train at 6-ish am, it costs something like $20, and you're in Chicago by noon.

 

[snowbunny00774]

Yeah, I'm okay with keeping Avril and chucking Celine.

nein. Who'll use all the water in Florida if we take Celine back?



I really wish you guys had something other than the two party system. oh well.


I can't wait to find out what total voter turn out is

 

[joyfulgirl]

Is it too early to bust out the champagne?

 

[phanan]

Damn, I was holding out hope that the Kentucky senate seat would've went blue.

They called it??

 

[corianderstem]

It's amazing to me that Obama at the moment can have so many more electoral votes, but be behind 1% in the popular vote.

It works both ways - while I'll be thrilled when if he wins, it will suck if he actually loses the popular vote.

It's a messed-up system, fo sho.

 

[Varitek]

ahahhahaha ugly orange tie guy's voice keeps cracking

I'm not familiar with her campaign. Anyone care to fill me on what she was up to?

Edit: nevermind - googled it. I can't imagine how that would backfire on her.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

yeah, Fox definitely just called Ohio for Obama.

it's a beautiful thing.

 

[diamond]

Is it too early to bust out the champagne?

yes.

 

[corianderstem]

I heard some blurbs that Dole was having to really fight to win the campaign, but hadn't heard about the dirty tricks.

 

[ntalwar]

ahahhahaha ugly orange tie guy's voice keeps cracking

He's having a panic attack.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Something about an ad that referred to her opponent as Godless.

 

[VintagePunk]

Omg, I think he just won!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snowbunny00774]

If sarah's not coming home this weekend and it needs more than pads, bring it here


so tempting, however work dictates no oppressers


speaking of them - I was very sad Mckenna's not running for the Libs

 

[yolland]

Look up "Godless Americans" on YouTube. (re: Dole's campaign)

 

[Diemen]

ABC just called Ohio for Obama!

 

[anitram]

 

[Varitek]

cnn will also call ohio after the commercial break

 

[corianderstem]

Something about an ad that referred to her opponent as Godless.

That kind of shit fills me with the rage of a thousand hot burning suns.

 

[Badyouken]

The BBC called it!
