Election Night . . .

What worries me is that the global economy is headed for the toilet, and the vast swath of Americans who are unable to think rationally about subtleties will blame Obama for that four years from now.

Including the people who couldn't vote rationally. :mad:

I read a blog yesterday where the blogger hypothesized that the Republicans threw this election.

Why? So they can leave the Democrats with the blame of the hard things that have to be done to clean up the mess they created.
 
MSNBC is hard to figure out.

It shows Florida as going to Obama. Yet the polling map shows most counties for McCain. :confused:
 
Scariest thing I've heard tonight, "This looks more like 2000 and 2004 than anyone thought it would."

Ugh.

The global economy is headed for recession and it will be a hard year or two. However by the time of the next election recovery will have already been underway for over a year and he'll get the credit for that, too. Dumb, I know, because presidents really have nothing to do with the economy but there you are.
 
Still waiting on Florida. Not only on the Presidental Race but the Ammendments.

Shoot, our polling places don't even close for another hour and three quarters. We won't know what California has done until I'm on my way to work in the morning.
 
Looking at state maps on nsmbc.com.

Damn, there are a lot of square shaped counties in America.
 
Not the population centers, though.
That's what I figured. The blue counties are where or near the cities. Except for a few on the north edge of The Panhandle. At least I think that's The Panhandle.

Just looked a CNN's website for their election coverage. I don't like it as much as MSNBC's. More of a pain to navigate.
 
Wow...if Obama takes Florida, it's pretty much over. This is huge.
 
abc just projected Ohio to Obama

Electoral College Votes:
Obama 195 : McCain76

I hope you're right. We've spent an enormous amount of money that we do not, in fact, possess on the war in Iraq, and I think it'll take more than two years to recover from that. But I really, really hope that I'm wrong and you're right!
 
A little soon to tell with only 9% of the precincts reporting. Obama does have a strong lead though.

This thing says 14% precincts reporting. Again there is the issue of relative population density in each precinct.
