Got woken up by one of my housemates cheering. I ended up watching McCain's concession speech.
This is pretty exciting. I'm trying to watch both Fox and CNN to see how each side is reacting.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

Obama ftw
His speech was really good. I kinda feel sorry for him
The same.I'm trying to watch both Fox and CNN to see how each side is reacting.
Yeah well watching on tv is one thing, I would much prefer that, seeing and more importantly hearing them outside is another.
Now they've gotten around to the inevitable sporadic gunshots. It is NYC afterall

It's time to watch Fox News cry.
I forgot that doesn't only happen in Chicago...I'm sure that's going on right now. Hmm, too bad I couldn't be there to go to the big rally.

Obama's speech was pretty inspiring. I was actually quite touched. The dude certainly has a way with words.
Then I switched over to Fox and had the commentator say something along the lines of "this man...will...ummm...unite a divided partisianship...and errr...find some way to fight the War in Iraq...some...other way...perhaps"
Tonight is such an awful night to have a test to study for.

Wow, he won by quite a margin;he's like +182 electoral votes so far. That's pretty impressive.
Are you still watching that. He was just going on about Barack playing it safe in his campaign and planning out his speeches and talking about the tv time he had awhile ago and how scripted his campaign was and I'm like........What?
Then he goes on to talk about McCain, the maverick, who actually took risks, like putting Palin on the ticket. Don't they get that the election is over
It was expected

lmao i love how both mccain and obama's wiki page is getting destroyed
ty psj for this sig
I'm still watching Fox and finding they're being pretty supportive.
CNN and Fox did a rundown of the Exit Polls. Surprise surprise, the older the voters were, the more they supported McCain. Also, apparently the only issue group McCain did better with was the group that listed "Terrorism" as their main issue. Funny.

What was really funny was the tax issue, considering how the republicans were preaching about Obama raising taxes, the whole Joe the plumber thing and all. Yet it seems the majority of people actually favored Obama's tax plan.

It's outrageous outside of my dorm right now.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
An electoral college system hasn't been used over here for as long as I've been able to vote, which is a good thing. I don't know how things looked back when it was used, but I guess more like that. Nowadays votes go straight to the candidate and so you know every vote counts.
Shame on you!

Why, are you on the electoral college where your vote actually counts? I'd take that job and sell my vote on eBay.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Regardless, the popular vote is in Obama's favor by 8 million people.
You don't seem to understand how American politics works do you?
