Unless, McCain pulls off some miracle in one of those states, we may as well welcome our new President.

To add to Bond's comments, there were only a few states that were truly up for grabs and the rest are heavily one party or another. Obama doesn't have to worry about losing California, for example, and McCain didn't have to worry about Texas.

With many of these swing states going toward Obama, and Florida, North Carolina and Virginia moving towards Obama, its safe to call the election. On a bright note, it looks like the Bradley Effect is good and dead. Another positive sign for US race relations.

Obama won.

Weird to not feel obligated to announce I'm moving to Canada after a presidential election like I did the previous two.

Glory.

I really am at a loss for words here...

Congrats to our new Pres Elect.

Here's to hoping Obama is a centrist. I'd prefer not to regret my vote.

Swan · 11-04-2008, 11:20 PM

I would find it funny if Obama turns out to secretly be a Black Panther

Ditto.

I like how he actually won the election by a large margin. It shows that people can change and make judgements off of who is running and not directly what party they're in. Though honestly I think if Mccain played his cards better he would have had a chance to make things closer or even win.

McCain 2012

On life support?

Vampyr · 11-05-2008, 07:54 AM

Just have to say both candidates gave great ending speeches.

Obama's was freaking amazing though.

It's funny how many people don't get the EV college. I was watching the first few hours of the election with my co-workers and kept having to explain to them the importance of the EV number and really only thing that mattered.

I wonder if that system will ever be done away with.

Heres a link to some great pictures of Obama's campaign.

Thanks for those, Ace.
