Vote Here!

Electoral votes: 174 Obama, 64 McCain.

270 needed to win, huh? Seems to be a trend here...but only 11% of precincts reporting...

Dems have the Senate - 52 to 35, 51 needed for control.

This is interesting!

Was it ever really in doubt? LOL

We are certainly going to get "change" Problem is, will it be what the people are expecting? Specifically... The Economy...

I again extend my challenge to any Obama supporter... Especially now that it seems he is going to win... Tell me how...

A.) Increasing taxes on ANY group of people helps GROW an economy?

B.) Letting President Bush's tax cuts (the ONLY thing the guy got right) expire, (read: a tax INCREASE on EVERYbody) help grow the economy.

I promise, no BS. But I do challenge any Obama suppoter to tell me why YOU think his economic plan will succeed.

All I can say is I'm TIRED of Bush ruining this country. It's time to try a different party. This is coming from someone who's brother fought in Iraq for 14 months, who's brother works for votevets.org, and who's brother has done countless things in politics. His life revolves around it, so it's not really a surprise my entire family is democratic.

Our public broadcaster, the CBC, has an unscientific poll online asking Canadians if they could vote in the US, who would they vote for?

D 194 R 69

A similar amendment (#2) is on the ballot in Florida (about defining the word marriage between a man and a woman).

Even though I consider myself to be a Roman Catholic, I voted NO because I don't feel confortable thinking that I would have the right to judge what a person can or cannot do with thier life and who they spend it with.
I am not God, nor is anybody else on this earth so we really shouldn't even have the choice of telling people with whom they can spend thier life with.

I voted NO on amendment 2 also


I'm not liking how this is going so far though ... I will support whomever wins and becomes our president but obviously I have a preference and I voted for who I think is better between the two.

It's getting closer though ...

Not thinking I'll be getting much sleep tonight!

Obama... Bush.... McCain....

What's the difference?


Again I extend my challenge to tell me how Obama's economic plan helps the economy grow?

I'd just like to add...

It pisses me off to hear people say this country is RUINED.

You eat everyday. Probably too much.

You have a roof over your head.

You most likely have a car.

You spend more time with entertainment than work or feeding yourself.

You have freedoms a majority of the world is jealous of.

And on.... And on.... And on...

How fat, lazy, sloth and entitled we have become.

[ramanth]

Ruined? No. But it could be better. I hope it will get better.

I used to enjoy far more entertainment before we were raped with gas prices. My hubby and I rarely go on dates anymore because we can't afford it. When we see each other that is since he has to work two part time jobs to make ends meet.

I'm grateful we do have food in our cupboards, but it's the bare minimum and mostly staples. Can barely afford fresh or organic. I splurge on soy milk though.

Blessed I have a car and a roof over my head.

A lot has changed in the past eight years though. I wish I could be fat, lazy, and sloth.

OT - I have watched a couple of interviews, etc - and MANY people are just going to be plain EXHAUSTED after tonight...the volunteers, staff, workers, and - not the least - the candidates.

But whoever the new President is - does he get any days off to recoup? Maybe some down time before the swearing in?

Whoever wins tonight will not actually be sworn in until January 20th

[Puckstop31]

Tomorrow...

I am renewing my CCW, buying a pistol and putting a down payment on a battle rifle... To be paid off before Obama takes his oath (with his fingers crossed, I guess...)

THEN, bury it in a secret spot and pray everyday I don't need to dig it up...

Not being crazy... Just a good Boy Scout.

[Alysser]

I never said the country was completely ruined, I said Bush is ruining it though. And actually I spent my entire summer at Six Flags working my a$$ off, and I spend 8 hours in school and another 2-3 hours doing homework and studying nearly everyday. I don't exactly think I get more entertainment then work. AND I'm on a diet

[Puckstop31]

Fair enough Ramanath and Allysser. (SP, )

Would you be willing to answer my question then? Please explain to me why YOU think Obama's economic plan will fix things?

Personally, I think he will make things worse. MUCH worse.

I see people voting for Obama because they are pissed off at Bush and rightly so. But NObody has yet told me how Obama's policies will GROW the economy.

It's to the point where the unified silence is deafening.

I promise, right hand on the Bible to NOT tear apart anyone who answers the challenge. All I would like is ONE honest answer.

I didn't vote for Obama specifically for his economic plan. I just agreed with him more on other stances that I didn't agree with McCain/Palin about honestly.

And in the end, like Alysser said, I'm tired of having a Republican in the White House and am willing to give the Democrats a shot at it again.

I did vote for our local Republican in the House though. I like him and am happy to see he's in the lead.

So I didn't vote straight Dem.
