fucking hell, I'm not sure if I can take any more repeats of the CNN guy drilling down to rural areas of the map to show the republicans downwards trend between 2004 and 2008. I got the point during the first four times.

Hopefully this post doesn't get lost in the shuffle:

They're "projecting" that Obama will win Pennsylvania? Is this basically set in stone, or can something unforeseen happen? I don't know how many votes need to be counted before people can begin "projecting" results.

Honestly, is Hagan an atheist?

Were the ads critiqued because they were false, or because they are just tacky?

I personally think it's wonderful if she is.

Congrats Mrs. Hagan, whatever your religious affiliation is.

I never thought this day would come in my lifetime. And I mean that as sincerely as I can be, I was certain that America was so cynical towards African ancestry that I was damn near certain that we would see an Asian or a (mainly European descended) hispanic in the white house first.

This is the beginning of something special. Honestly, I'm adding another 50 years to my "American Domination Clock"....:D

No she's not. She's a sunday school teacher.

The ads were all about those evil godless americans and how much they control Hagan's actions.

Looking at some of the counties who haven't reported in yet, Obama is poised to win VA, and FL (Broward is going to bring it home).

Projection = results aren't final, but based on all the data they have, there's little doubt that it'll go for someone else. These days, projections are rarely wrong. One network got one projection wrong in 2004.
