He's got to be ready for that, he is running for President at a key point in our history.

I know i know, no sympathy for someone running for president.



Yet, all political bullshit aside, the guy must have a really fucking hard 3 days right now. I wonder what he eats/drinks/does during his flights to keep him focused.

He's on the nose candy, did you see his debates?

 

[Speevy]

Give us some numbers already!

 

[Shard]

What is the mood like on the international broadcasts?

Can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?

so what's the largest margin of victory for Electoral votes by a Presidential candidate?

I'm pretty sure there was at least one candidate who one every electoral vote. Reagan won all but two states in 1980, though, didn't he? Obama's not coming anywhere close to that.

Ooh, if that were to be true :lol :lol

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I'm home sick with a flu this morning, so I won't be spending too long on PoliGAF before I fall asleep again, but I'm watching and waiting for the results to come in. Most of the channels here are going to have live coverage of the results (starting about an hour from now), so I've turned up the TV so I can hear the sound of victory from my room

 

[Xabora]

Lets see:
Die Hard Republican Voted: Nader
Die Hard Democrat Voted: Nader


I'm like... :lol

G. Washington got 100%

In terms of total votes in recent history I think FDR at 523-8

1984
Ronald Reagan (Republican) - 525
Walter Mondale (Democrat) – 13

[Plinko]

so what's the largest margin of victory for Electoral votes by a Presidential candidate?

I think Reagan won every state but Minnesota and D.C. against Mondale.

Edit: SO SLOW.

 

[Cooter]

What are they saying in Denmark? I'm curious.

 

[Aaron Strife]

George Washington!

GA and MN.

WHO WILL WIN?!11

BABAR

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Do you always put half of your post in the title?

Yes.

Fake Edit: Actually, no. I usually use the title for some quip, and leave the body for a more fully fleshed out comment. As fast as this thread moves, however, I have to keep the body short so that my post doesn't show up eight pages after it's relevant. Due to that shortening of body text, the title/body ratio goes up (or down, I can never remember quite how ratios are ranked up/down.)

 

[Tarazet]

Ooh, if that were to be true :lol :lol

Even if it isn't, I'm sure McCain is on the most potent battery of stimulants his heart can take without shattering like a glass pear.

George Washington

 

[NullPointer]

Can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?

I can haz hope?

 

[JavyOO7]

I wonder if Al Franken is going to win the Senate seat.

And if both Diaz Balart Bros don't win their seats.

Though Raul Martinez doesn't seem all that much better. =/

 

[GhaleonEB]

Kentucky results are trickling in on cnn.com, btw.

 

[StoOgE]

Chuck GODD!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Chuck Todd is stuck in a Wii game.

 

[Monroeski]

I see what it's getting at of course, but I just can't disregard the billions of differences between all those men that weren't skin color.

 

[WedgeX]

First results from Kentucky and New Hampshire (according to NYT).

Ahhh.

 

[Amir0x]

i am frozen with excitement

 

[WrikaWrek]

Wale Wars looks like epic stuff.

 

[ghibli99]

Looks like I picked the wrong night to finally pick up LBP.

This is so exciting! I can't wait to get home and watch this all night.

 

[User 10639]

I only have one prediction

Did you vote today? DID YOU?!

Spoiler

we're gonna take this thing man, we will make AZ go blue!

 

[Funky Papa]

What are they saying in Denmark? I'm curious.

They are waiting for the moment to annex the US to Greenland. Keep hoarding pork and beans and don't forget to pick an extra box of ammo.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I'm pretty sure there was at least one candidate who one every electoral vote. Reagan won all but two states in 1980, though, didn't he? Obama's not coming anywhere close to that.

Washington is the only candidate to officially win every single state. Nixon also unofficially won every single state but they gave the other guy one state because they wanted that distinction to be reserved for Washington.

 

[Souldriver]

Even if it isn't, I'm sure McCain is on the most potent battery of stimulants his heart can take without shattering like a glass pear.

Yeah, pretty amazing when you think about it. The 'medication' this guy must be swallowing right now must be quite a lot.

 

[harSon]

Hopefully Democrats stick with the long lines and don't get lazy and leave.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

1984
Ronald Reagan (Republican) - 525
Walter Mondale (Democrat) – 13

I've sometimes wondered if Mondale could ever muster up self-confidence again after that.

 

[grandjedi6]

Regan '84

Reagan won every state but Minnesota in 84

1984

I think Reagan won every state but Minnesota and D.C. against Mondale.

Edit: SO SLOW.

FAILURE. There are 3 separate Presidents with higher margins than Reagan.

 

[Zeliard]

God, this is fucking tense. TENSE, I SAYS.

The election results are literally the only thing at this point that can keep me from playing Fallout 3.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Looks like I picked the wrong night to finally pick up LBP.

 

[lastendconductor]

How much left until the race can be called consistently?

Ami, can you give us a one time exception to the fuuuuck.gif ban rule so that Hootie can keep the streak going? We can't jinx this shit.
