With bated breath …

There are so many things that have happened in our recent history – things that have changed the world, things that change the definition of destiny, things that change who we think we can be, what we think we can achieve, things that change the boundaries of what is and is not. The West Wing gave us a glimpse of what it could be like. Season 7 took us though the Primaries with Matt Santos the minority candidate and into the general election under the guiding hand of Josh Lyman as they set the stage for Barack Obama and David Axelrod.

Reality kicked in on the 10th February 2007 when Obama announced his national campaign at the place where just some 149 years earlier, Abraham Lincoln delivered his “House Divided” speech. A primary campaign sometimes referred to as the ‘Never Ending Story’ took us through to the 3rd. June when Obama was nominated as the presumptive candidate therein setting the stage for the national campaign between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Today is Sunday the 2nd. November 2008, just a couple of days away from the most important political moment in my life. Within 72 hours we will be watching the numbers rolling in. But unlike every other election – the substance and the implications of this election are tectonic in nature.

Today we wait with bated breath.

North Carolina looks set to go Obama.

Plus the Senate seat.

Plus the Governorship.

North Carolina is the State of Jesse Helms.

Times are a changin’

So far so good. Poss ‘n’ me are the only bloggers with laptops that’s why we’ve been a bit quiet. yeah, H, NC looks senasational for the dems. The “atheist: Hagen got up over the hateful Dole. Havn’t seen any figures on AK yet.

Someone;
What does GOP stand for?

Spam Box;
Get Obama Party

Onya Spammy

Ecky, you’ll enjoy this, Schmidt getting questioned on NYTimes blog:

Q: What were the hardest things you faced?
A: The global economic collapse in the middle of September occurring at a time when we were ahead in the race, dropping the right track number to roughly five, six, seven percent, which are numbers I don’t think will ever be seen again in any of our lifetimes, it was very difficult. It was a bad economic environment throughout the election, where people were angry at the incumbent party and at the end of the day, I don’t think there’s another Republican the party could have nominated that could have made this a competitive race the way that John McCain did… The president’s approval numbers, you know, were not helpful in the race. But the party as a whole is unpopular with the American people and that was a big albatross.

Q: And the pick of Palin for you guys? Are you happy with that?
A: You know, well uh, I’m not going to do… there’ll be time for all the post-mortem in the race.

Q: But are you happy with what she’s done for the ticket?
A: I think that, you know, I think well know in a few hours what the results are, you know and I, there’ll be a time for all the post mortem parts of it. That’s not this afternoon before the polls close.

….oh, so sad, ain’t it?

919 asanque Yes I’m surprised about that. So far the only surprise is Virginia, still time for that. Everything else is on song.

The Republican shit machine is crashing and burning.
and there aint no stench lke burning shit.
McCain is gone. Dole is gone. The GOP is gone.
I love the smell of shit burning in the evening….or lunchtime as is the case in Bris.

*I am Ferny and I approve this message*

On the popular vote, remember that New York and California have huge populations and will go overwhelmingly to Obama. They have not been counted yet.

ok thx asanque….thought some early news may be in.

must be patient lol

McConnell holds Kentucky. 60 senate now nearly impossible.

Gotta go for a couple of hours, so fun Ticksters!

Go Obama…lookin’ good in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and even Virginia is incredibly close.

And yes Ferny, we can smell it from here, the stench of death. Can Minnie Moose field dress the GOP carcass I wonder?

Ohio called for Obama.

Obama coming home like a train in Virginia.

Florida and NC looking good. Indiana not gone yet.

Gurgle…gurgle….gurgle

McCain and Palin have already left their war-room and have arrived at their piss-up…or piss-on…ready to drown their sorrows.

LANDSLIDE

Still quite a few favourable counties to come including Lake in Indiana which is only 70/30 to Obama.

Yes David but not quite enough. Must by myself a USA badge. Those anti Americans will have to watch out!

Maine and Georgia are slipping away in the senate. But Obama can win some over by giving them a job.

“In Indiana, with the votes to come in from Lake County (East Chicago) and the remainder from Marion County (Indianapolis) and the minor pro-Repub vote from the rural precincts left, I believe Obama will win by at least 50,000 votes.”

I’m still certain of a Obama victory in Indiana.

Alex Castellanos…the GOP guy on CNN(who by the way i like listening to…at least he is sane) just said that all the GOP need to win this election now is 9 seats on the Supreme Court hahaha

Florida and Virginia looking good.

N Carolina looking shaky.

Indiana a near dead heat. Obama was in Indiana yesterday. Damn those guys are good.

McCain was in Penn and Iowa lol

ABC Radio called it for Obama. Says McCain simply can’t win without a crossover state like Penn, which is now safe for Obama. Ohio now looks like Obama’s, as do Virginia and Florida.

Yippee! I think it’s the greatest win for People Power since Cory Aquino beat Marcos in the Philippines in 86.

Have fun people!

Just want to make sure I have the wording right before I post this at PB

Oie! Dr Carr, Kirribilli Removals sure can pick em eh, – Howards loses seat, Obama wins primary, GFC, Obama is da prez

Not bad for an ignorant loathing lefty :mrgreen:

have I got it right?

Update on close states:
Obama 39k ahead in Virginia – 11% to go
McCain 3.5k ahead in Indiana- 12% to go
Obama 4k ahead in NC – 20% to go

Sounds good Spam Box. Carr needs to have his arrogance curtailed… but I wouldn’t count on it. Expect him to tell us all how much better Hillary would have done and therefore why he is still right, even though he predicted Obama to lose the primary and the general. I know, there’s no logic to it, but it somehow fits together in his ignorant rightest elitist mind.

I expect to get shot down with some clever cutting remark, but fuck-him I don’t care, it needs to be said 🙂
