Nationwide, youth turnout was only +1

What the fuck is wrong with young people? Jesus fucking Christ, if a college student can't get excited about Obama, what the fuck are you waiting for? Why do young voters refuse to give a shit?

Really? That's pathetic. Maybe we should raise the voting age again.

What else do they want? Allow them to vote through XBL and Facebook?

why are people still rushing the White House?

Go home guys we won comeback in January

They're going to drag Bush into the street for a beating as a sign that the revolution has begun.

It's sad but I feared it might happen. Obama driving out African-Americans might have singlehandedly made Prop 8 pass.


Sad to say, but its true. Blacks are horribly anti-gay.

Ok now that Obama has won when do we do the secret terrorist stuff he has been planning since he has been planning since he was 8 so I am not out of the loop. Just curious.

I've tried to hold my peace when it comes to that board as much as possible, but that did it for me. 3 represents divine perfection and it really bothers me if that poster is trying to twist that.

I'm going back to trying to hold my peace with that board.

I'm glad someone has fucking noticed.

I don't want GA to be the FL of 2008. If Obama lost here, that's fine, but at least count the fucking votes that were cast.

Crap, I early voted. My vote better count :mad:

I bleed purple.

Though I like the Sharks more than the Wild.
I'm not originally from MN so fuck the Vikings. My family is originally from WI. I thought it was illegal to be a Vikings fan in Wisconsin....

I got nothin against the Wild but they're really boring to watch. I'm a Blackhawks guy myself.

Just got back from celebrating...Thank you America! It's been too long since I've felt this way...I'm not used to it. What is this? Pride? How novel...

Thank you to all who've worked on the campaign and voted. Thank you to America for actually picking the better candidate. I'll be walking around Miami in my Super Obama shirt all day while I find myself a copy of the NY Times for posterity and I'll have a shit eating grin all day...THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you America. It's been a long time since I've felt faith in anything. It's been a long time since I've swelled up with this much pride to say that I am an American. And one day when I have kids of my own, I'll be able to tell them that I was here when we made history. I walked into a voting booth and voted for the new President. I can tell them that his skin color didn't matter to me, that it was the power of his words and his intellect that won my vote. I can tell them that I didn't judge him by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

Dr. Martin Luthur King Jr. would be proud. I'm sure he is.

Couldn't agree more with you here. I'm proud to have been a part of this.

Don't ask.

Proposition 8 Same-Sex Marriage Ban
Choice Votes %
Yes 2,043,390 53.1%
No 1,806,048 46.9%

25% of precincts reporting

Updated 11/04 10:10PM

damn I am hoping it doesn't get passed, at least its only 25% precincts so far
 
So I voted for McCain but honestly I'm still excited about Obama and not dissapointed at all.

I could have gone either way and chose this morning on who I was going to vote for.

I'm excited for the next 4 years :)

Now that the thread has slowed a bit, I wanna give a shout out to a few people:

1) Everyone at FoxNews.
2) Elizabeth Hasselbeck
3) The Youtube McCain Rally Racist All-Stars
4) Evil no candy for Obama supporters lady.
5) Rush Limbaugh
6) Joe the Plumber
7) "He's an Arab" lady
8) The guy with the "Socialism" sign in his front yard near my house.
9) The GAf chicken littles

STFU.
Damn straight.
 
Ohio Issue 5 passed, smacking down the "payday loan" loanshark business and their usury.

Liddy "Godless" Dole got smacked down.

There are other points of light out there, I'm sure, that I'm not aware of.

There are some scary Republican fucks (hell, I'm saddled with "Mean" Jean Schmidt again) out there that did get reelected and some sad state issues that went the wrong way, but don't lose sight. Today was a REALLY good day, and we won some seriously good shit on top of Bams becoming POTUS.

I'm kinda surprised . . . I thought more latinos would vote Yes.

I'm happy as a white guy that we voted against this.
And embarrassed that white guys mostly voted against Obama.

Well PoliGAF, we did it. We fucking did it. Congratulations to everyone. Obama's speech was phenomenal (and to be fair, McCain gave a great concession speech as well). I had an amazing time at the Fayette county party tonight.

I still don't know what I will do with my life now though. No more Gallups?
 
DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THE COUNTRY JUST TURNED OVER ALL ITS GOLD JEWLERY TO MAKE A GOLDEN CALF? THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY DO NOT WANT TO WORSHIP THE ONE TRUE GOD, THEY WANT A GOD WHO REPRESENTS THEM. THAT IS WHY OBAMA IS SO POPULAR, NOT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. OBAMA SAID TONIGHT IN HIS SPEECH THAT HE REPRESENTS ALL PEOPLE INCLUDING "GAYS". HE COULD LITERALLY SPROUT HORNS ATOP HIS HEAD TOMORROW AND TELL EVERYONE ON LIVE TV THAT HIS FAVORITE NUMBER IS 666 AND IT WOULD NOT MATTER. I AM IN A STATE OF SHOCK RIGHT NOW. EVERYTHING THAT IS IN REVELATION IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. I MEAN, I KNEW IT WOULD, BUT TO KNOW THAT I AM SOONER RATHER THAN LATER GOING TO SEE MY LOVED ONES WHO HAVE GONE TO HEAVEN ALREADY IS SOBERING TO SAY THE LEAST. HOWEVER WE MUST GET BACK TO OUR FATHER'S BUSINESS, PRAY FOR YOUR LOST LOVED ONES AND LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW BECAUSE FOR US THERE MIGHT NOT BE. SUDDENLY THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING I WAS DOING AT WALMART TODAY DOESN'T SEEM THAT IMPORTANT DOES IT?

Right now I’m really feeling very sick. I feel so down, I could just cry. I feel like the bottom just dropped out from under me.

I KNOW if this election hadn’t been fixed, PA, FL, Ohio, VA and some other states, would have been McCain’s. He had PA for sure.

Right now, I don’t think I will ever be able to vote for Hillary again. I’m truly fed up with her and Bill. They left us down in order to stay with the party for any future elections.

The party evidently meant more than her supporters. We stayed true to her, but she didn’t stay true to us or the country. It was just politics, as usual to them and I don’t care what anyone says.

I just had to take a couple of sleeping pills to hopefully make me sleep, but I don’t think they are going to do the trick. I am so down.
