Wake me when it's over
I'm gonna go hide under my bed.
|
will we know who wins tomorrow?
|
i hate politics and voting time, all the good afternoon cartoons get replaced by news :(
obtw, nice display pic, trippppppy |
Gonna be doing the same thing i've done the last few elections. Run the tv in the backround and look at it when something is loading or lagging.
|
I'll be at class tonight so I won't get to hear what the outcome looks like.. lame.
|
Well I did a few calculations, and we will probably know who wins tommorow maybe close to midnight. If it's announced by that time that Obama won Pennsylvania and any other of the Eastern Coast states like Florida for example, McCain ultimately lost.
|
Pretty much. There are basically like 10 states up for grabs, and if Obama wins any of them, he wins. McCain doesn't have a chance in hell.
|
I remember last election there was a broadcast that showed who had x amount of votes, and what number of x this canidate had. What was that, and will it be on today?
|
Doesn't matter.
|
I have to work until 11:30pm, so I'll briefly check it before I go to watch other stuff when I get home.
I'm on my way to go vote now. <3 |
Recount!
Chads ftw. |
Voting is complete.
...My sister voted straight Republican. :weird: |
We won't know what the elections look like until late for the entire country.
|
When will we know when Obama has officially won?
|
In January when the litigation ends? :p
|
Obama has two of the three big money states already, and if along with those he snags Florida then he will win.

My mom is taking my comp so that she can sit on her bed quivering watching the election.

FiveThirtyEight increased Obama's chances of victory to 98.9%.

I really think the world would be more at peace with Obama as president... |
I can agree.
And I just voted! Wooh!! Quote:
|
Yeah but remember what happened in 2000.....
|
I'll be happy once it's over and hopefully Obama wins the nomination with no issues.
I know the RNC/GOP are going to pull everything out of their ass/hats (head up their asses) if it doesn't go right for them, expect lots of lawsuits and controversy. |

What was the biggest landslide victory in presidential history, and also the biggest upset.

Actually, they are refferring to the '04 race, buddy!

I don't know why, but this is more exciting than the English elections.
Anyway, I think it's official that McCain has Kentucky and Obama has Vermont. For those who can't get things at work, or can get things but badly, try: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7700298.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/ame...08/7697829.stm I doubt you'll be able to get the Live video feed, but the live text is good. |
It's not "official." It's projected to be that way. At the time of this post, 16% of Kentucky precincts are reporting and 0% of Vermont precincts are reporting. They're essentially saying "we think McCain will win in Kentucky because our math shows he has enough of a lead right now for the rest of the votes not to change the outcome."

"CNN analysts will make all projections for CNN broadcasts. When CNN's analysts project a winner in a race, whether it is based upon data from EMR or from the CNN computations, it means that when all the votes are counted, CNN projects that the candidate will win the race. A projection is as close to statistical certainty as possible, but that does not mean that a mistake cannot happen; rather, it means that every precaution has been taken to see that a mistake is not made. CNN will not "declare" someone a winner because that declaration is up to election officials. CNN will make projections based on our best estimate of how CNN expects an election to turn out."
From CNN, anyway. |

Wow, well you we're right K_A those polls you linked turned out to be pretty accurate. I was suprised by them, but I guess America really is ready for a change.
It's fucking SILENT here at work today, hahaha. |
