Wright County, Coleman's last remaining big county, is what gave him the 2000 vote lead. St. Louis still has 16% to go. Hannepin has 1% to go.

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!

Our GOTV today in Pueblo was absolutely phenomenal. Our volunteers showed up in droves and it was a thing of beauty to see voters 'scratched' from the list as the day went on. I went on my last canvass around 6pm Colorado time to check up on our few last remaining people who hadn't voted yet and when I knocked on their doors, they greeted with me warm enthusiasm and their "I Voted" stickers. I developed a nice rapport with my precinct and on some level, I think they didn't want to let us down. I told them yesterday and early this morning while on my first canvass run that I would be by their house every 3 hours until I see their names pass through the voter file. We truly exceeded expectations and the after party was a great finale to a grueling 13 days. I'm going to miss my little neighborhood and all the stories..

...and it's still so surreal that Obama is president-elect, now. Just an amazing day.

Even the best efforts of the GOP in Pueblo County couldn't stymie our efforts. They infiltrated our voter database and sent out thousands of robocalls last evening to Democrats over 50 telling them their polling locations had changed which led to a chaotic morning.

One of our volunteers was even assaulted by two McCain supporters on her canvass walk.

Still. President Barack Obama.

greenpanda let loose the n-bomb over and over again in one post about 10 pages ago. He blames African American voters for Prop 2 passing in California, and lashed-out to generalize an entire group of people. It was pretty disgusting.

Tonight, when I awaken: gumbo! :D

Franken should net another 27000 votes from St. Louis once the final 16% reports in if the current percentages hold there.

HE IS A CONVICTED FELON

ALL OF HIS COLLEAGUES DEMANDED THAT HE RETIRE IMMEDIATLY

ALL THE POLLING SHOWED AN EASY VICTORY FOR THE DEMOCRAT

THE ONLY PERSON TO DEFEND HIM IS ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN FROM ALASKA WHO IS ALSO GOING TO BE INDICTED.

HE'S A CONVICTED FELON

I want to but I can't. Stupid gun control.
Stop forcing your useless traditions on us then maybe we wouldn't think about killing children.

Besides, it was in America that a trick-or-treater got shot. Classic "no u" example.

A politician convicted of corruption on seven counts being re-elected is... I don't know. It's just baffling. I mean, I'm all for rehabilitation of convicted felons, but even that has limits (har har). smh Alaska. Then again, they elected Sarah Palin as their Governor so I think it's fair to say that people up there are dumb as shit.

Well... you need to understand that Alaskans have a soft spot for Stevens. He helped Alaska become a state and had a hand in writing their state constitution. The man's been in politics a really long time.

Oh shit, why was the news story posted from an Australian website? :(

God, I totally failed that thread, S.C right in the OP's quote. Honest apologies.

Yeah, just saw that, fucking ridiculous :(

I change my evaluation to two steps forward, and two steps back.

Well, at least Florida kinda got promoted sort of.

Plus, Alaska is honestly not a state that matters at all in national politics. Nobody even notices unless they are being outright idiotic on a national scale ala Palin & Stevens.

So I've been following Poligaf for many months, but may have only posted once or twice before but I felt the need to come in and thank you guys for being the greatest election source ever. Some of you crazies who have been so passionate about the election and all your constant speculation has made me actually pay attention to politics and care about things I would never have thought twice about. Some truly awesome threads.

Thanks gaf.

The hannity.com forums are in a state of perpetual meltdown since last night.


But there aren't enough people there to provide extended lulz.

If she cries or has some nervous breakdown this year will be even more perfect outside of the financial crisis.

I can respect what this man has done for Alaska, but I can not understand how people can stand by him when he was convicted for corruption. That is ridiculous. The guy belongs in jail and not into the senate.

True, but lets just say that it doesn't reflect favourably on the Alaskan people (well, those who voted for him, anyway), regardless of its importance in the grand scheme of things. I mean, what kind of mesage does this send?

I totally agree. I think this whole mess is a good illustration of why senators should have term limits. Politics is an incredibly corrupting force, even for the best of men.

And yes, this election cycle has not reflected well on Alaskans in general.

We all knew it was coming, but Barack Obama now has more votes than any other presidential candidate in history. And votes are still coming in.
