The 2008 US Election thread

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Kentucky called for McCain

Vermont for Barack

[Seamus]

A vote for either of those two puppets is a vote for more slavery. Only a short few weeks ago they both campaigned for the treasonous bailout. Will people ever learn?

Lets see if Obama is really for change. The first actions he should take is to repeal The Patriot Acts, The 2006 Military Commissions Act, John Warner National Defense Authorization Act, reinstate Posse Comitatus, bring US troops home from all foreign wars and have a proper investigation into 911 and that is only for starters.  

Of course this is not going to happen as we are going to have more of the same. Eventually Obama will even make Bush, up until now the worst president in history, look good.

At least this two year Reality Show is almost at an end and we will have a Survivor for now

How have they called them so quick when they polls only closed?  They couldn't be all that reliable projections.

Exit polls I assume Rav. Think they pretty much come out on the stroke of polls closing in most elections. I sat up and watched super Tuesday and it struck me how these "projections" are pretty much treated by American networks as the actual results.

The exit polls will have them comfortable winners, and past trends would indicate that. Vermont is safe Democrat. There will be a few of these through the night, but plenty will need some counting before a call could be made.

Anyone else sitting up all night for it? Gonna be a shit day at work tomorrow found it hard enough keeping the eyes open today.
