Party pooper.

Btw, McCain is projected to win Kentucky...

while Obama is going to win Vermont...

with a whole 10% of the vote in.

Scoreboard McCain 8-3

Bold move 88.

He'll have my support, even after he fucks up, he''ll be our President. I trust he will make decisions based on the best interests of the nation, uphold his oath of office, and do what his handlers suggest.

You're very naive.

If he wins in a landslide, which I doubt that he will... he will assume that he's received a mandate to do whatever the fuck he wants.

And with a Dem controlled Congress, that's just what he'll do.

Jeebus, can't you putz's wait until the polls close in a few more States before throwing in the towell?

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

Positive Mental Attitude Wags, that's all.

If Obama wins, I'll get up, go to work, live my life. That is until I get laid off.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 12:25 am

While still too close to call, McCain is up 53% to 46% in Virginia.

This from a state where Obama had a 9 point lead in the polls going in.

Dems, you may start gripping now.

Tom In VA · Post by **Tom In VA** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 12:27 am

Hey Wags, you know when it's late in the 3rd period and a hockey goalie hasn't been scored on, you never say 'Oh man, he might get a shutout'

Okay ?

Those aren't exit polls, those are raw, but real numbers.

Granted, only 13% of the vote is in.

What better way to celebrate than flipping between election broadcasts and Craps hockey while following, in Whitey's case, BLOW-BY-BLOW coverage on the board.

His oath involves upholding the Constitution of the United States of America...

Including the Forgotten Amendment, the Tenth.

Over/under on Barry breaking his oath after being sworn in:

I'll go with 5 minutes...

Since he hasn't upheld the oath of his last office, so why assume he'll start now?

Wow, a grand leap to acceptance. Positive coping. I'm impressed.

No need to languish. Start the healing process right away.

And you know, it's for real, I'm actually very content and peaceful right now.

I hope the stool doesn't slip out from under my feet as I untie the noose.

And the moment he breaks his "oath," he's no longer MY president, although you're welcome to try and keep him.

Viva La Revolution!

Well ya'know... airwaves/communication actually do fall under "interstate commerce," which is something the federal government has been GRANTED the power to regulate.

But it doesn't mean they HAVE to. The free market would certainly do a better job of making it "fair and balanced" than a two-party Congress ever could.

You people should click the above link. It's a pretty neat bit of writing, and I'm quite certain most of you have never actually read it before. It's like all crazy and stuff -- it GRANTS CERTAIN POWERS TO THE FED. And it's got this neat line where it says that if a power isn't SPECIFICALLY GRANTED, then the fed needs to keep their dirty fucking mitts out of it... it's like toooootalllly crazy and shit.

Yep, Karl Rove's vision of building an insurmountable GOP majority in all 3 branches are now officially in ruins.

Gordon Smith (R - OR) is probably gonzers, too, although there's been no such projections from the media yet.l

Dins, that link is obsolete. Live in the now man. The framers of that didn't take into consideration the vast amount of power they could obtain by promising redistribution of wealth.

That's not sacking up. That's bending over and saying, "please sir, may I have another?"

However, I will accept the will of the American voter and respect the process.
