2008 Presidential Election Results Thread. See it here as they come in.

Damn West Virginia.
I don’t trust the numbers yet.

(and not to sound horrid, but I thought it would be won by a wider margin. For me, this means that a whole LOT of Americans don’t seem to mind horribly negative campaigns and a whole lot are racist–not all, but a lot). :frowning:

I’m still nervous about Ohio…even with all the major news outlets calling it. I fear a reversal like Florida in 2000.

If Ohio does go for Obama, it is indeed over for McCain. It looks like he’s made a major catch up in VA, and may indeed still win there. McCain would need to win California or Washington or the like…and that’s not going to happen.

Aaaaayeeeeeeee!!!

And I still project it’s ultimately going to be a blowout!

Obama doesn’t like it either.

WOOT!!! for the UNITED STATES of America!!!

Looks like I’m picking up some champagne on the way to the train station to get my niece. She’s going to be ecstatic.

It looked like a funeral when I drove by there at 430 Arizona time. Seriously, people were driving into the McCain party and it looked like a funeral procession. No people waving banners. Just a line of cars.

Okay… OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD…

It is really over. Really seriously honestly over*.

I’m a little behind on my TIVO, but about 9 minutes ago in real time, which I’m just seeing, Keith Olberman figured it out, too. Obama can’t lose!

If McCain could win California, all bets would be off. But he won’t.

Thank god we can finally put this “you can’t win an election if you don’t carry the South” bollocks to rest.

Looking at the Ohio map, I see why they called it. Franklin, Hamilton, and Cuyahoga counties aren’t even close to in, and that’s where the big votes are.

And Obama is still leading in Perry. I’m telling you, we’re a bellwether.

All I know is that when a Freeper starts a thread with “Heavenly Father, forgive us for what we have done …” I gotta get my chicken counting finger limbered up, that’s all I’m saying.

CNN calls NM for Obama

LA for McCain

Obama it set to win 3 former members of the Confederacy.

As of right now, only about 25% of the precincts in Fairfax county are reporting. There are a lot of people there, and it’ll lean pretty blue. I wouldn’t place too much faith in the numbers just yet.

Did Matthews really just say that McCain was ridiculous with the socialist and Wright attacks and that his campaign went down the last few days with a whimper?? snort

They can have Ohio. They can have Florida. They can have North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Colorado – they still can’t win!!!

It’s O-VER!

Dammit I wish I didn’t have a severe cold and am at home on the couch - I want to be out and giving big hugs to my fellow Ohio Obama supporters!!!

Obama has closed the gap in Virginia and may take it yet. Within 2000 votes, says CNN. 50%-50%
