I voted for Perot/Stockdale. :-)
Stockdale did a better job in his VP debate than Pfailin has done, well, ever.
David gregory has a woody under the desk for BO....John Mccain is Toast. So Sad
Hmmm the very early returns actually look decent for McCain ...
Go ahead, Nick. Go to bed by 9:15. You'll miss the excitement when Mitch eats crow for McCain taking Penn, Florida and Ohio (and that's just for starters).
Not really Nick - Indiana (Cook County/heavy Dem) hasnt even posted and two extremely red counties, Virgo and one other one (that Bush KILLED Kerry in 04 have gone for Obama)
None of Norther VA has even been included in polls yet and O will win huge there
He is looking great in FLA based on early voting
Hey Alan - Penn called for Obama.
Want some of the crow i threw in your backyard? A Penn win and Obama is essentially a lock to win this thing
Only NBC has called it. Nobody else has. Shocking...
dude, send me some of that stuff you are smoking...it's over.
Fla is about to be called for O. He has essentially won a majority of counties in the middle of the state, counties that bush killed kerry in '04.
i can go on and on, but mccain is literally hanging on by nothng more than his fingernails
OK, time for me to eat crow. We lost Penn. But I gave up on Virginia last week, and it looks like we're taking it...
Va is way too close to call, you by far dont have it in the bag, all of northern va #'s have yet to be counted. this is the so called "new virginia" part of the state -- extremely democratic
Virginia too close? With nearly 50% in, McCain is up by 9%. However, he's creeping up and keeps cutting Obama's lead in Florida...
51% reporting and he is up 5.7%. i am getting real time #'s updated every few minutes; and again, Northern Virginia has only 19% reporting. That 19% has already eaten into McCain's 14% lead he had about 20 minutes ago.
And, to be candid, even if he lost VA, he still has a massive path to victory and McCain has to essentially flip about 3-5 blue states, minus Penn, which he got killed. And, it looks like Obama is going to flip Fla.
His losing Penn has all but srewed his chances
no comments on the fact that the dems are ROUTING the repubs in the senate/house? buh bye elizabeth dole
Elizabeth Dole cooked her own goose. Ala 2000 I don't think you count anything out until those major states are called.
anyone watching NBC? Is Giuliani campaigning for 2012 already?
I predict if Florida goes to Obama, this race is ova...
We just lost Ohio. Well, that's it. I guess you can go to bed, Nick.
Alan, who reported that?!!
Fox News. I don't understand this country.
Grant Park makes me feel claustrophobic.
You would think MSNBC would be all over that....
Wow...when Fox News says its dire for McCain, things aren't looking so good. Thanks for the heads up, Alan.
ABC calling Ohio for Obama
they are on it now margo!!!!! i love it baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
