    Shit, I left the room for 2 minutes and Obama took 81 more votes.

    you have to stick around at the top of every hour, that's when results come in and networks can call races.

    MSNBC jumping the gun???

    They called Pennsylvania for Obama ....


    CNN just said they're not going to go by exit polls this time around and that they're playing it very conservatively and that they'll only count the votes

    But there's a bunch of states that have closed voting and just haven't called it yet so surely they could come through at any time?

    Really? Damn. I'm flipping around like crazy. I think I may have to turn off the tv and just play some FFVII. Save some sanity.

    It's been years since I've played it. I finally figured out how to get a playstation emulator to work on my computer. I was fucking giddy.


    But...I can't vote for him.

    CNN doesn't really do a very good job of hiding their bias.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    My neighboring state and I would love to see something different happen in the state of VA.

    VIRGINIA is the key. My sis just told me MILLIONS are gathered in KENYA.

    if Obama takes Virginia, it's essentially over ... Obama can lose Nevada, Colorado and NEw MExico, and still win with the states that are heavily in his favor ...

    same holds true if he wins Florida or Ohio

    ah, ok. it's key for obama to win virginia. i thought he meant his feeling was whoever took virginia would be the eventual winner.

    Wow, McCain has a real uphill battle now.

    If Obama pulls Virginia (after just taking PA), it's over.
  • jimed14jimed14 Posts: 9,488
    From Politico ...

    Virginia edging toward Obama

    The key to any statewide victory for Republicans in Virginia is to run up big margins in suburban Richmond, and especially in Chesterfield County just below the James River from the capital.

    In 2004, Bush beat Kerry there 63-37.

    Now, with nearly 100% of precincts reporting, McCain is only beating Obama 54-45 in Chesterfield.


    CNN showed the Virginia senate race results, already in favor of Democratic candidate Warner ...

    This thing looks like it's going to be over soon.

    looking on politico, it's 11.6M to 11.5M .... but Obama is going to rack up huge balances in NY and Cali
