First this thread will not turn into a political debate, we have had enough of that for now.

Post up the results from your state, who won the state. Lets keep track of things here and discuss anything irregular (again I must emphasize NO POLITICAL DEBATE)

I will update results in form of electoral votes for each candidate in this post. If my numbers are off please post in this thread so we can keep a current counter.

Obama =297
McCain =139

Votes needed to win = 270
From:cnn.com


PS - I will be away for an hour or so on some business, so these numbers wont be current until I get back.

[okcjeeper]

trueblue where are you getting the electoral numbers? CNN is still setting at 77 adn 34..

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

I have CNN, MSNBC and FOX up, monitoring them all. MSNBC is breaking news of 103-34 as Obama takes PA and its 21 electoral votes.

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

CNN/FOX now reporting 81-34. Fox says McCain has won WV, though CNN and NBC show Obama clearly in the lead. NBC says Obama has won PA, though neither of the other outlets have declared a winner in PA. News outlets can't even cover the election fairly.

not looking too great for McCain... we might be F'ED!

 

[okcjeeper]

Yeah I just started watching MSN..I have 3 tv's going..

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

MSN/FOX are pissing me off. They keep using analysts to "project" the winners, and posting headlines like "McCain wins WV" and then put in the story "according to projections...". CNN's waiting until the ballots are counted, then posting the victors. Once again I admire CNN more than the left and right news channels.

 

[jonb8]

Your saying that CNN isn't left, wow that's a stretch.....

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

Not saying one way or the other, but we all know MSNBC is left, and FOX is unapologetically right. They're both calling victories before they even happen. At least CNN has enough sense not to "project" the winners and then write BS headlines.

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

The popular vote is insanely close.

 

[jonb8]

Yea I expected Obama Hussein to win the popular vote by leaps and bounds. We lost 3 seats in the senate to the Dems already, oh make that 4. . Do you know how hard it is to keep this clean.

 

[TrueBlueXJ]

McCain's had the lead in the popular vote several times. The electoral vote is looking less than promising for the Maverick.

 

[jonb8]

Yea they just called ohio on fox for Obama, wow I can't believe we just elected a president on speeches and emotion. Wow America is in worse shape than I thought. Well better start hiding your guns, were gonna need them.
