Few questions: did North Carolina go blue? Did Ami OD on hopium? Can we give Alaska back to Russia?

Jesus Christ. I just got back home from chicago (left at 12:15 am, 1 hour train, stayed at 'rent's for about half an hour, drove 2 hours home).
The Grant Park event was spectacular.
The worst part was the difficulty getting refreshments. Anyone at the front of the crowd would've had an insanely difficult time getting to a vendor and then back without someone throwing a punch. As such, I didn't drink anything between 2:30 pm and midnight, standing for 95% of that time.

Does this election have the highest number of votes? I was talking to someone earlier that it sounded like this one would have more votes than the last high one (from like the 1920's?).

The funny thing about those fucks is that they've been wrong about absolutely everything, yet are too depraved to even think about admitting to it.
They said Obama would have no Chance against Clinton
They said he was unelectable
That Hillary voters would never flock to him
That PUMAS would decide the election
That he wouldnt stand a chance against McCain
That he wouldnt be able to expand the map
And what exactly do they stand for? Clinton's policies? Her ideals? No, they immediately embraced McCain and Palin. They cheer Palin though she's the antithesis of Clinton. Do they stand for integrity? No, ecstatically embraced and whored every one of McCains smears. Do they stand with Hillary? No, they disowned her after she started campaigning for Obama and 'put party before country'. What the fuck are they supporting, or pretending to support? Nobody knows. Their preferred nominee lost, and thats all they know. Pathetic, hateful fucks. Im comforted by the fact that their posts make it obvious they lead very shitty and unsatisfying lives.

Where are you guys getting this data? Franken still looks to be within spitting distance on CNN's map, and that was updated three minutes ago.
edit: CNN now has Franken down by about a 1,000 votes with 99% reporting

So it looks like Bams will get 364 EV, just as I predicted in the predictions thread.
And bear with me here as I don't know the details, but I thought when none of the senate candidates get over 50% there's a runoff (meaning another election between just two candidates), why all the doom and gloom over Coleman/Franken?
switched Missouri and Indiana, but who cares!

There's no way Minnesota is getting called tonight or any time tomorrow. Georgia and Minnesota both look ready for a recount war. Go to bed.

Well, it puts the dems further away from the 60 seat supermajority (that they were never gonna get). I think at least a few Republicans are gonna have to cross party lines since the country's moving left now. Lurching to the right would be really stupid for the GOP right now. Just palin stupid.
