if the votes pile in at 60:40 margin, obama would still be 10,000 votes behind

which means obama needs those votes at an 80% margin

which means missouri is red, sorry.

Obama won! Prop 4 looks to be defeated at least, but Prop 8 is looking like it will pass. :(
Bittersweet night for liberals in California.

My lonely hyper conservative friend on facebook just unfriended me. :D

Kind of sad though, because he would post these notes of GOP talking points, then I would just demolish them very politely. It wouldn't convince him, but I'm sure he had some moderate friends that read that crap, and now I can't counter it.

You hate Franken, too? He's such an arrogant prick.

Actually, as a humorist, I like him. He's hilarious and his arrogance is part and parcel of his act. I just haven't seen anything from him that indicates he would be so much as a half-decent senator. Especially in an era that has seemed to start off with a spirit of unity and cooperation.

Just got home from a celebratory trip to the bar. The party I attended during the election agreed that tonight is like another new year's--people are going to be calling off work and missing class tomorrow.

I finally know what gratification feels like for a grander cause, and it's empowering. It's awesome.

Unfortunately Coleman seems like a fucking slimebag. The whole goddamn campaign was a shit slinging contest. Terrible. I wish they could both lose.

That's usually the case when an independent candidate can get 15% of the vote. Personally I wish all 3 of them could lose but since thats realistically impossible I have to side with Al on this one :/

What about St. Louis City (which is it's own county)? Last I heard, it was way behind St. Louis County.

EDIT: Nvm, 100% reporting with 84% for Obama.

We will see. Where do you think it's taking the longest and the delays in St. Louis county are? I'll give you a hint it's the predominantly black areas of the suburbs.

And if I am wrong Obama is still the president. :lol Missouri is just icing.

BTW, St. Louis city proper was a LANDSLIDE for Obama.

Itasca and St. Louis both are 50-60% reported in and have Frank by a big margin.

You guys already failed by electing crazy eyes, redeem yourselves!

well then things could be different

say if there's 70,000 votes left and it goes 60/40 like st louis county - then you'd be looking at an absolute dead heat

edit: nope St Louis city is 100% reported

missouri will be red

Republicans always think they're going to get PA, they just can't compete with Pitt/Philly. For all the talk about a Chicago machine, it's nothing compared to what PA has.

As Scarbs said earlier, Pennsylvania is "Fool's gold"

Gordon Smith...telling people we'll wait till tomorrow to find out senate results.

Copped to voting for McCain, hilarious given his insane ad push to convince people he was an Obama guy.

edit: nvm, not conceding. my bad.
