[thekad]

Dammit, looks like Bachmann is staying put.

 

[Tamanon]

LOL at MSNBC using "The Power of Change" for a slogan now.

 

[StoOgE]

:bow :bow

Nate is a god confirmed.

 

[typhonsentra]

Perhaps I spoke too soon about Missouri. It could still turn however unlikely it is.

 

[MrPing1000]

The question now is, how hot will Malia Ann Obama be in 8 years?

 

[Strike]

OBAMATON! My faith in humanity is slowly being restored! In 2009. We. Have. A. Black. President. That just blows my mind. This is progress...this is democracy...this is change.

Fuck my state.

 

[Hootie]

'tis bedtime for me GAF. It has truly been a memorable night. I hope that one day I can tell my children and grandchildren that I was alive during the time of Obama.

 

[Zeliard]

Too bad we still have two more months of Lameduck Shithead in office.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Voted Libertarian, but HEY, here's to the VAST lesser of two evils (relax, it's a compliment).

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Whats the news on prop 2?

 

[Barrett2]

I don't even want to think about all the hot ASS Luke Russert must be tapping on the campaign trail. :lol

 

[Souldriver]

:bow :bow

Yeah, I can't believe the pollsters (or at least all of them as an average) were so accurate.



Such a big difference from my country, where they fuck up every single election. :lol

 

[Kevtones]

We've elected David Palmer. Hopefully season 2 version.



Seriously though, good speech. I haven't been completely sold on Obama but I voted for him (mainly to get a free pint). I do have some faith in him and I really appreciated his focus in tonight's speech. I hope he is able to unite this country, and I hope those unwilling to put aside their differences (on both sides) wise up, and join in this cause. Its not about being a Democrat, its about being an American.

 

[HylianTom]

Fuck my state.

Don't worry - Obama's court appointees will do the dirty work for us.

 

[belvedere]

"I'll never forget it. I had just blown up Megaton and was about to enter VATS to blow off Mr. Burke's head in slow motion. I looked at the T.V. just as CNN officially called the 2008 election for Barack Obama."

 

[Danthrax]

Now that it's calmed down in here, where is this from?

 

[Socreges]

WOW.

i just woke up. i went asleep with obama looking LIKELY to win.

but this is still incredible.

president-elect barack obama....... yeah.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Whats the news on prop 2?

http://www.miamiherald.com/

62% Yes. looks like it passed.




i cant believe this shit.

 

[GrapeApes]

Alaska polls close @ 1 AM. Palin already lost and the polls are still open.

 

[Rur0ni]

As much as I would have liked for my state to join the party, Georgia wasn't even close.




But I voted for the winner, so it's all good.

As many as 2 Million uncounted votes in GA right now. Early votes haven't been added.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Nate Silver

King of election projection

See you 2012 Nate

 

[Buba Big Guns]

:lol holy shit at fox news. Anyone else watching this? :lol

 

[thefro]

so awesome...

Obama has Indiana locked down based on what counties are left to come in.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

So how's Foxnews handling this?

Handling what?

 

[sleeping_dragon]

For once in a long time, you American have the right to feel honour, proud and inspired.

 

[The Chosen One]

Tonight was like watching the dark tower fall in LOTR. [/CornyMovieReference]

 

[TheClimaxan]

I can't wait to re-read the parts of this thread I missed tomorrow. It should be good times.



The best of times.

 

[CzarTim]

Luke Russet got told. :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Rapping Granny]

Anyone got the final results of the map?

Cnn doesn't seem to have all the states in.

 

[pollo]

So I live in Roxbury Mass and I heard a bunch of screaming outside. Thinking it was a bunch of people in the neighborhood, I wanted to go out and join them, and to my dissappointment it was just a bunch of disorganized NU students

NU students can't riot for shit. Embarassing.

I with I was in New York.

 

[Brannon]

Dammit, looks like Bachmann is staying put.

...well shit. That sours me about .0001%. Can't win them all I guess.

 

[subrock]

the real loser tonight: prop 8

 

[Raxus]

So how's Foxnews handling this?

Quite well actually.

Our old friend Hillary is 44 on the other hand is going to melt down.

 

[speculawyer]

I'm going by CNN's current numbers:
Coleman 717,040 43%
Franken 692,166 41%
62% precincts reporting

Strib has Coleman now ahead but VERY close. 42% each but Coleman 10K votes ahead with 74% reporting.

"Up to two million votes may be going uncounted."

[Grimm Fandango]

Sorry but that won't cut it.

Into the pit with ya.

[donkey show]

Change baby!

 

[Tobor]

So now, PoliGAF, we rabidly discuss and speculate on cabinet positions!

Hagel for Secretary of State, definitely.

Any chance of a vid being up? Think it will have a bigger impact hearing it spoken. Thanks for the link though.

 

[DopeyFish]

Anyone got the final results of the map?

Cnn doesn't seem to have all the states in.

still not complete

bet on

Alaska, missouri and montana staying red

indiana and north carolina going blue

 

[grandjedi6]

How's Prop 8 going?

Looks like Franken and Tinklenberg are going to lose. Fucking Minnesota.

If Franken loses its entirely Barkley's fault. I can't believe the guy managed to get 16% of the vote so far :/

 

[reilo]

Why can't Obama close the deal? LOL

 

[Marvie_3]

we all can agree...

FREE BJORK!!!

YES! FREE BJORK!

 

[Ash Sparrow]

wait i meant prop 2 not 8

 

[Archer]

Alaska polls close @ 1 AM. Palin already lost and the polls are still open.

That's how you know that you were fucked.

 

[Brobzoid]
