Presidential Election

[Ms.Squeakers]

ITA.



Oh no, it's going to be much closer.

I have to agree.

Just because the TB populations or your schools population voted YES for Obama doesnt mean that hes gonna get the majority vote.

Theres still a lot of "old" republicans out there who are gonna vote for McCain as well.

So I think they will be a tad more similar, not "OBAMA IS MAJORITY AND MCCAIN LOOKS LIKE A 3RD PARTY"

Just my prediction.

I like the Yahoo stats. I think that they're a pretty good estimate. They put Obama winning 318-196.

 

[Axel]

Just saw this on Yahoo!:

Yeah. We're cool like that in NH.

Actually, Hart's Location is less than 30 minutes from my house, though Dixville Notch is a bit further of a drive. I always think that it'd be cool to live in one of those towns.

i wasn't basing that prediction off some stupid thing like that. jeez.

that was actually the 270towin.com's simulator. i was playing with the numbers, and that really looked like the most likely outcome.

So. That was fun to play around with. I like it better than CNN.com's simulator because of the voting history feature and the probability of reaching 270 feature.

 

[I'm a Divaaaaa]

Just got home from voting! GObama...we'll see how this goes.

Go to realclearpolitics.com and use their map. It's fun to play with.

I Picked McCain

 

[PrincessKally]

Regardless of estimates, even if Obama gets the popular majority vote, it comes down to the electoral votes. I believe Gore won the majority, but electoral picked Bush and tada..Bush was in office.

Exactly, for all we know McCain could win.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Yeah, it's quite possible that could happen. I had this explained to me earlier.
I'm watching CNN and keeping track of the percentages on their website.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

This is really exciting.
I love elections.

And Hilary. It's cracking me up that you're paying such close attention and you're not even an American.
Is there a lot of Canadian media attention on this?

 

[Babyjustrun]

We pay more attention to your politics than our own. Our election was 6 weeks long. Your's is two years and people only care about American politics. So yes, a lot of media. I bet if I went on the news channel, it's on. Yep, Clinton votes Obama. Middle East Watches Race.

But I do care who wins, I really don't like McCain, and I dislike Palin even more.
I'm kinda stressed over this.

 

[C.J. Sparrow]

I always thought McCain would take it. But tonight, I'm not so sure. ><

 

[Axel]

Looks like my state is going Blue...well...staying blue...ish.

Smart choice, State. Smart choice.

Anybody else watching the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert joint show at 10? I will be!!!

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

My state is in a permanent state of blue.
That came out confusing.

What I meant is, Jersey is ALWAYS Democratic.
I think the last time we went Republican was Regean? I could be wrong though.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Jersey is Obama, mais oui?
I'm discussing this with my friend.
He's at 60%

He's got like almost all of those most north eastern states.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

Yep. Jersey is definetly Obama.
And the NorthEast is generally liberal. So the Obama wins there don't surprise me.

Wait. How's he doing in Texas?

 

[Babyjustrun]

Texas is still voting, they'll be voting till 9 pm eastern.
But McCain is 51, and Obama is 48. But only 1% has been counted.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Most of the South will vote Mccain.

64 Mccain
103 Obama

Electoral Votes. Let's go Obama! <3
