Electoral College Updates

[Necromancer]

Okay, so I'm making a thread where we can call these things as they come.


So far, according to CNN, McCain has Kentucky (putting him at 8) and Obama has Vermont (putting him at 3). Indiana, which hasn't gone Dem since LBJ, is too close to call so far.

So grand total:

Obama: 3
McCain: 8

[Euler]

I moved to Indiana from California. My tree-hugging granola munching vote is going to carry the state!

[Necromancer]

Let's actually keep this thread clear of commentary and just stick to updates. I'm working later tonight, but we need a thread where you can very easily nab the latest info.

If Obama wins by one, we'll give you full credit.

[Parkbandit]

BINGO.

He probably gets all his "news" from PC.

[Atlanteax]

CNN needs to just call Georgia for McCain and quit being overly cautious.

[Amber]

BINGO.

He probably gets all his "news" from PC.

What better source? I come here for financial and medical advice too.

[Kembal]

Damn. ABC (edit: and NBC) just called Pennsylvania for Obama. CNN has not yet.

CNN: 77-34
CBS: 81-39
ABC: 102-34
NBC: 103-34

[Parkbandit]

CNN needs to just call Georgia for McCain and quit being overly cautious.

Thing with Georgia is that there are pockets of dominate Obama support.. and those pockets could go overwelmingly for Obama.. which could change the state.

[Atlanteax]

Damn. ABC just called Pennsylvania for Obama. CNN has not yet.

Sheesh...

[Jorddyn]

CNN is going nutso on their Florida coverage right now.

[Daniel]

On CNN they are talking about how Obama is still losing traditional republican districts but is making it real close, whereas in democrat distracts he's blowing him out.

We'll see how this plays out.

[Hulkein]

It'll play out like most of think it will. Obama will be projected to win Florida pretty early and we won't have the fun return watching of the last two presidential elections.

[Daniel]

Man. That party in Chicago looks crazy. My mom and Aunt are out there.

[Jorddyn]

Man. That party in Chicago looks crazy. My mom and Aunt are out there.

And then... cut to the boy's choir at the McCain campaign. WTF?

[JohnDoe]

Looks like we've (meaning GOP) lost a few senate seats so far: Virginia, North Carolina, and NH.

[Necromancer]

THe point of this thread was supposed to be to take all of the different sources and post them- one stop shop sort of thing.

But, as usual, the conservative trolls had to run in and atTaCk!11!

[Daniel]

So? Shut the fuck up. Keep a notebook.

[Kembal]

Bah, I'll post stuff, but it's the PC: to not expect commentary on what's posted is to live in an alternate reality.

[Sean of the Thread]

stfu queertoes. You're a sanctimonious butt fucker and it gets annoying.

[ClydeR]

Of the three news networks (CNN, Fox and MSNBC), CNN has the most informative and easiest to understand graphics. But CNN is being more careful (slower) in making their calls.

[Kembal]

CNN calls PA for Obama.

[Some Rogue]

I'm going to follow Sean of the Thread's lead and start drinking.

I am also considering this. I told myself I would take the night off tonight since I've been hitting it pretty hard the last few weeks but...I am weak. :cry:

That's what she said.

Current EC:

CNN: 102-34
ABC: 102-49
CBS: 102-54
NBC: 103-58
AP: 82-34

(NBC's projecting the 2nd congressional district in Maine for Obama, which the rest are not)

[Daniel]

You might actually be less productive on the unofficials than you were on the officials. And that's a scary thought.

? I haven't posted on the officials in 5+ years.

[Moist Happenings]

Fox News-

Obama 103
McCain 69

[Stanley Burrell]

P.S. Fox just called Pennsylvania for Obama.

Fox has been focusing on Dick Zimmer. He might be the next president.

See no evil, be a Republican.

[Atlanteax]

Well, it's "over" for McCain, should he lose just one of the 3:
Ohio, NC, and Florida

Ohio is still only 1-2%, so still too early

Florida is still close, down 51-48 with 43% reporting, with portions of the northern 1/3 of the state (definitely Red) not yet shaded...

NC is the worry at the moment, down 52-47 with 24% reporting, with portions of the coastal regions of the state (more likely Blue) not yet shaded...

[Moist Happenings]

Fox now reporting -
Obama 163
McCain 81

[Kembal]

Alright, a bunch of states just closed, so the new EC:

CNN 174-49
ABC 174-76
CBS 174-100
NBC 175-70

CBS projected Texas for McCain, I think.

Edit: Updated ABC.

[Jorddyn]

Wisconsin for Obama.

Holy crap.

P.S. It sucks that Iowa's polls don't close until 9. Grrr.

[Miscast]

What part of queertoes is a dipshit don't you understand. Go back to the officials where people pretend to care wtf you think.


Here we all know you're a fucktard.

rofl

[Kembal]

For the Republicans still believing in McCain: Not one red state has been called for Obama yet.

So...still at least another hour before anything, I think.

[Sean of the Thread]

Wow Florida is becoming interesting once again.

[diethx]

abc is giving Ohio to Obama. nomnomnom

[Hulkein]

Some are calling Ohio for Obama already. That's all she wrote if so.

[Sean of the Thread]

wow

[Daniel]

VA is super close.

Obama up in NC.

wow.

[Allereli]

this is a trouncing

[Daniel]

Holy fuck. McCain doesn't have a single district in Pennsylvania yet.

[Daniel]

Cnn just predicted Ohio.

[diethx]

lolol, abc is showing the McCain camp in Ohio... they look fucking DEPRESSED

[Hulkein]

Holy fuck. McCain doesn't have a single district in Pennsylvania yet.

Yeah we were just amazed at that. Not a single county? I don't know how that can be correct. Amazing if it is.

[Daniel]

Yeah we were just amazed at that. Not a single county? I don't know how that can be correct. Amazing if it is.

The website shows it differently, but it's still 66% Obama.

That's nuts.

[Jorddyn]

Some are calling Ohio for Obama already. That's all she wrote if so.

CNN and FOX both called Ohio for Obama. I'm going to call that a good indicator.

[Daniel]

Rofl.

CNN just reported that they turned off the news at McCain's gathering.

[Jorddyn]

So, I have a very important question. I live in Iowa. Indiana is still a tossup. If Indiana goes to McCain, can I still claim we're attached to the whole blue Northeast thanks to WI-UP of MI-MI-OH? (There's $5 riding on this, I need to know!)

[Sean of the Thread]

Wow Pinellas and Hillsborough counties are so far Obama. That's a surprise.

For those that don't know that's Tampa Bay

[Moist Happenings]

Wow Pinellas and Hillsborough counties are so far Obama. That's a surprise.

For those that don't know that's Tampa Bay

Well, they're saying a lot of the young vote and a lot of the first time vote is going to Obama. Pinellas and Hillsborough certainly have more of those than other counties, and you don't start getting into the racist redneck and older people kind of votes til you hit Hernando county. Might have something to do with it.


*Disclaimer- I'm not saying that only racist rednecks and old people vote for McCain. I AM saying that racist rednecks don't like black people, and that Brooksville Florida in Hernando county was the very last town in the U.S. to get rid of segregation (and it was sometime insanely late. Maybe even early 80s. I'll have to look it up again).

[Kembal]

So, I have a very important question. I live in Iowa. Indiana is still a tossup. If Indiana goes to McCain, can I still claim we're attached to the whole blue Northeast thanks to WI-UP of MI-MI-OH? (There's $5 riding on this, I need to know!)

I'd love to say yes....but no, sorry.

[Daniel]

It's cool. We're about to run shit now.

Fried chicken @ the white house baby!!!

[Atlanteax]

Looks like Obama won.

[Jorddyn]

I'd love to say yes....but no, sorry.

Well, crap. There goes that $5. Unless Indiana swings back to Obama.

Iowa polls close in 3 minutes for all of you waiting intently for that info :)


It's cool. We're about to run shit now.

I never thought of that. Wonder if it's too late to change my vote.


Edited to add: Polls closed, 2 seconds later it's called for Obama.

[Daniel]

I never thought of that. Wonder if it's too late to change my vote.


Reparations here we come baby!!!

[ElanthianSiren]

Yeah we were just amazed at that. Not a single county? I don't know how that can be correct. Amazing if it is.

They just haven't put the totals up yet. Pretty sure we'll see some go McCain, especially around central-northern etc.

[Allereli]

VA is 50/50 and Arlington County has not reported yet

[Jorddyn]

VA is 50/50 and Arlington County has not reported yet

This is a weird year. Virginia, Indiana, and NC are all swing states. Iowa, on the other hand, called immediately. (yes, I know no one else cares about Iowa politics as much as me.)

Time for another beer.

[Daniel]

Arlington is 83% reporting.

Obama up by like 3k

[Ravenstorm]

With Iowa, Colorado and California, it's done. Now we get to see how much twisting of the knife there is.

[ElanthianSiren]

It's not done til we see the congressional race returns too. Gonna be a long night.

[Jorddyn]

My county went 79% Obama.... wow.

Edited to add: We also removed "idiots" from people who can't legally vote. Seriously - constitutional amendment.

[Sean of the Thread]

Reparations here we come baby!!!

Rofl


I'll take you up on some fried chicken tho. Delicious.

[oldanforgotten]

With Iowa, Colorado and California, it's done. Now we get to see how much twisting of the knife there is.

Obama has finally taken a lead in VA with most of the outstanding vote coming from NoVa. NC will be extremely close, most of the vote remaining is coming from smaller rural areas which vote red, but not many people there. Florida has a lot of outstanding votes from Miami-Dade, its a lock. Indiana is close as hell. Obama is down only 12000 votes with a lot of blue areas yet to be fully counted.

But the real crazy thing is, 51 million votes already with only 35% of the votes counted. That's fuckin crazy. 121 total votes last election, and this election is poised to absolutely shatter that.

I turned to indecision 2008 and some black dude comes up to the desk while Jon and Colbert are reporting and he's measuring shit.

Jon: Larry...what the hell are you doing??

Larry: Whatever the hell I want.

Jon: ...

Larry: We're taking this shit over baby. Painting the white house black!!

[oldanforgotten]

Obama now ahead in Indiana with 93% accounted, and almost all remanining precincts in Marion County and the Illinois Corridor. That one hits below the belt.

Florida is over. Palm and Miami are have a lot of votes yet to be counted, and he's up 200. That one actually is a shocker, I expected McCain to carry it.

Obama ahead in Va now as well with a lot of NoVa yet to be counted. Expected that one.

NC is going to be razor razor close, but with Franklin County and Durham uncounted, that one may go to Obama as well.

Missouri is real close with nothing counted near St Louis, and now Montana is voting blue?

This is going to be a complete landslide...

[Hulkein]

Barack Obama motherfucker!! President of tappin that ass!

[Kembal]

Well, crap. There goes that $5. Unless Indiana swings back to Obama.


Just might happen. Obama pulls ahead by about 8000 votes in Indiana, 6% of precincts left to count.

And Obama just took VA, according to CNN.

[Kembal]

CNN calls it for OBAMA.

[diethx]

[Jorddyn]

I went to Clinton's, had a blast. Ended up at a party on a boat on the river grinding on some chick from Iowa with huge cans. Good times.

... er.

Anyway! I have to say good on John McCain for his concession speech, and for stopping the booing of Barack Obama.

[Ignot]

LOL, im watching McCain's speech and they played the theme from Top Gun! What a maverick. Everyone who booed McCain for congratulating Obama is a douche. I think he is giving a good speech though.

[Numbers]

Palin's on the verge of tears.

[Paradii]

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh

[diethx]

I think he is giving a good speech though.

Me too.


Palin's on the verge of tears.

It's awesome, right? I can't stand her.

[Jorddyn]

It's awesome, right? I can't stand her.

I felt almost bad for her, until I saw her hugeass grin when they started booing again.

[Numbers]

I'd still do her. Total MILF, but dumb as bricks.

[diethx]

I really kinda feel bad for McCain. He hit some bad luck but made some crappy choices too.

[Jorddyn]

I thought his speech was incredibly gracious, and it's very admirable how he spoke of Obama.

That's the tough thing. I don't dislike the guy. I think he's generally a good man who has done a lot for this country. I just don't like the way I thought the country would have gone under his presidency.

[Keller]

amazing speech on the part of McCain. Just breathtaking. I wish these bleeding heart liberals would leave my apartment.

But where would you go?

[Daniel]

Ditto

[droit]

I too think McCain gave a great concession speech. It reminded me of the old McCain--the one who Campaign McCain kept bound and gagged in his basement. If he had been speaking with this candor and thoughtfulness throughout the campaign, I think he would have had a serious shot at winning tonight.

[Daniel]

Seriously. If that was the McCain that was on display over the last six months, things would be different and not neccessarily for the worse.

[Jorddyn]

I couldn't agree more. I would have voted for him in 2000, but he never could have gotten the nomination due to the high percentage of Evangelicals who actually get out to vote in the primaries. He changed in 2008 to win the primaries, and as such I just couldn't give him my vote.

[Keller]

But where would you go?



Celebratory sex with my wife and this hot german bitch. I will keep you updated.

All in all, I'm just really glad, and proud to be alive in the day and age where we can have a black man and a woman try for their shot at presidency. It really is amazing.

That was a hell of a speech.

Obama's speech was really good.

[Jorddyn]

Re: Barack Obama's acceptance speech.

My god, the man can speak. I adore the feeling of pride that I have right now, knowing that this is going to be the person representing our country to the world - an intelligent, well spoken, hopeful person.

[Ignot]

I liked Obama's speech too. It was damn motivating and emotional. Its nice to see that after all is said and done both candidates really seem to want whats best for this country based on their speeches. If your not proud to be an American today then something is wrong with you.

[Skeeter]

All in all, I'm just really glad, and proud to be alive in the day and age where we can have a black man and a woman try for their shot at presidency. It really is amazing.

I so wanted to make a thread just for them but I was too lazy to scroll through the emote list for a raspberry smiley.

[droit]

Obama's acceptance speech was touching. I particularly thought that his use of the 106-year-old black woman standing on line to vote for an African American candidate for president as a way to illustrate the progress, or "perfectability," of our democracy over the last century was very powerful. I'm proud of this country tonight, and I'm glad that Obama seems to understand the weight of his responsibility, as evidenced by the sobriety of this speech.

[Ravenstorm]

Obama is not just a brilliant orator, he is - I suspect - just plain brilliant. He's a genius, calm, organized, methodical, diplomatic... All the things we should have in a President every year, let alone after 8 years of Dubya.

[Anebriated]

because the fact that we have a black president-elect suddenly changes all the problems black people faced before today...

not trying to start anything here but the problem wasnt the presidents fault before the election...

For what its worth, I voted Obama.

[Faent]

I need to check on the final totals. I bet a friend $5 Obama would hit 338 (or higher) and an extra $1 if I hit it on the nose. I suspect I won't get that extra dollar. It did hang at 338 for around an hour and a half though! I suppose I should now check and see what's happened.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

It's looking like it will turn out Obama 364, McCain 174.

[ClydeR]

McCain's giving a great speech.

Especially the part where he touted Palin's future leadership of the Republican Party.

[Parkbandit]

Especially the part where he touted Palin's future leadership of the Republican Party.

I think that's unlikely. I think the left has done a great job of destroying any chance of that... and she didn't exactly help herself with really, really bad interviews.

The Republicans need to shed the really stupid platform issues of abortion and gay rights and concentrate on their real strengths of smaller government and lower taxes... and actually fucking follow through with it. Obama, the most liberal member of Congress, polled HIGHER than a so-called "conservative" in regards to being able to handle the economy, by using the conservative claim of lowering taxes.

I heard this morning that the Republicans had a 30 year low for voting turnout... once again showing that they never really got behind McCain.

[Sean of the Thread]

It's looking like it will turn out Obama 364, McCain 174.

This one is too close to call. I demand a recount.

[DeV]

also wanted to hit the people in the crowd booing him with things. WTF?Agreed. It was an excellent speech and thankfully the boo's didn't mar it although it was disappointing to hear him be disrupted at certain points during the speech.

Amen. I'll be happy as hell if I never see another political ad, "interview", or "debate" with her in it. Also, audio clips of palin are right out.

The selection of palin destroyed McCain for me and much of what his candidacy stood for (going against his party, being against extreme social agendas etc). I was really hoping he'd pick somebody moderate, especially on social things obviously.

I hope McCain's out beating the shit out of whatever image maker/policy guru in the Republican basket thought her up. I guess we can't call how it would have turned out if he HAD picked someone moderate though.

[Tsa`ah]

I heard this morning that the Republicans had a 30 year low for voting turnout... once again showing that they never really got behind McCain.

McCain lost yesterday with more votes than Bush won with in 2000. Obama won with less than 500k more votes than Bush in 2004 (of course there are still 3 more states to complete counts).

McCain didn't lose because of low GOP turnout, he lost because of the 20 point swing in the independent/moderate vote, active efforts to kill voter suppression, the change in the electoral map, and record democratic turn out.

[ElanthianSiren]

Agreed. It was an excellent speech and thankfully the boo's didn't mar it although it was disappointing to hear him be disrupted at certain points during the speech.

It did at one point for me... where he got so exasperated with it and telling them to hush that he sounded like a dog dying of congestive heart failure. He did this weird long inhale that just rattled. For whatever reason, that one moment was pretty upsetting to me. These were people who voted FOR him and supported him. The least they could do was let him finish his last campaign speech uninterrupted. It's a decency thing IMO.

[Parkbandit]

I'll assume you are referring to my post Shit4Brains. Perhaps you should quote it next time so we can be sure.. since you are taking some pretty large liberties in assuming you understood my post... something you clearly didn't. Show me again where I stated that McCain lost the election because of low GOP turnout. Stating that Republicans had a 30 year low in voting turnout doesn't mean that is why McCain lost the election.

[Parkbandit]

Nice edit by the way Tsa'ah.

I'm having a great time watching the racists run around like the sky is falling on various message boards I frequent.Speaking of people running around like the sky is falling, I cannot wait to listen to the ultra conservative Michael Savage radio show tonight.

[DeV]

Probably the same amount of people who actually did after Bush won in 2000 and 2004.I'm certain of it. Listening to these clowns actually discuss doing something this drama whorific shows that this country can still come together and be bipartisan on even the most retarded of non-issues.

The polls tell a different story.

2004

37% Republican, 37% Democrat, 26% Independent

Bush - 57,697,764 republican votes

2008

32% Republican, 39% Democrat, 29% Independent

McCain (so far) 49,433,749 republican votes

There's your dip over four years ... expected. Let's go back to 2000.

2000

35% Republican, 39% Democrat, 27% Independent

Bush - 45915114 republican votes


Conclusion ... you believe everything the crackheads tell you.

8 < 30

I'll assume you are referring to my post Shit4Brains.
that cracked me up

Not when you have assholes booing when Mccain talks about the first black president.

I think booing would be the least of what would be happening in Chicago and LA if McCain won.

2000

minor details but thats 101%

Cracked me up considering it was edited well before he made a post. If it took him three fucking minutes to type that ... my suspicions have been well founded.

That would depend entirely upon the method of winning. Anything remotely close to 2000, with Obama winning the popular while a few states went through the rolls and started chucking ballots and registrations ... I think riots would be exclusive to LA or Chicago. You'd be in the middle of one as well.

I pounded it out ... one of them is off. The fact remains that there was a lower republican turn out in 2000 in comparison to 2008. Pretty much negates the claim of the "lowest republican turnout in 30 years".

I just wanted the +1

[Tsa`ah]

In the mail.

In the mail.

No way. I smartass repped him first. I call dibs. NO FAIR!

[Tsa`ah]

WTF ... REFUND!

[Anebriated]

No refunds. All ur +1's r belong to meh!

[Tsa`ah]

There's a special place in hell for those that scam +1's. Right next to tax evaders and people that talk in movie theatres.

[Anebriated]

If that is true I will buy all of PC a drink at SimuCon:Hell.

I'm having a great time watching the racists run around like the sky is falling on various message boards I frequent.
