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

Probably not until he has at least 270 confirmed. He’s been cool-headed the entire campaign season, no reason to blow that now.

Yeah, Skald, where are you? What do you have to say for yourself? :wink: …maybe your father voted for Obama after all. Hah! :smiley:

How utterly ridiculous. He was convicted of making false official statements, which is almost by definition a crime of moral turpitude. :mad:

Oh well, wrong thread. Back to the happy happy joy joy!

I’ve heard midnight, local time. I suspect it all depends on when McCain concedes, though.

This is the first time in the past year and 8 months that I’ve wanted to have TV service, but at least the power came back on so I could get online. Anyone know where the best online video coverage of Grant Park is supposed to be?

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

:smiley:

Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter’s House. Don’t be too overwrought; Jakes is a great guy, AFAIK, but The Potter’s House is a little bit cultish.

Al Franken is at least not having his ass handed to him by Norm Coleman in Minnesota. He’s slightly ahead and Hennepin County (Minneapolis, right?) is barely reporting any numbers yet.

Wait until our polls close, damn it!

I heard from a nurse who is married to a cop who is the liason officer between CPD and the Secret Service that he will arrive “around midnight”.
Take that for what it’s worth.

I’m at work right now, watching MSNBC streaming online, and reading this thread and about 3 other blogs and…fuck, this is happening. I mean, it’s really fucking happening. I’m going to hold off real celebrations until the west coast closes, but…fuck. And I know that nobody cares about Utah, but Obama is going to out perform Kerry by double digits, and District 1 might go blue.

I want to know this as well. I’m now on MSNBC and getting glimpses. Rockefeller Center in NYC looks cool with the map on the ice.

yeah! hold on… alaska doesn’t close until tomorrow eastern time (1am).

Really? Screen grab of their online map a few moments ago showing California as a red state.

Looks like changing the location on my profile did the trick. Yee haw!

Thanksgiving dinner with my Repub family is going to be more fun this year.

Virginia called for Obama by Fox per PBS!

Dang, CNN’s online election map is seesawing NC, IN, and MO back and forth, back and forth. Never thought MO would be in contention. Sheesh.

FOX just called VA for Obama. MSNBC still holding out.

Well, about time someone called Virginia! I just ran down the list of which counties have how many precincts left, and it’s overwhelmingly Obama territory.

Fuck it, I call Virginia for Obama.
