hey Tinia!! yeah i have cnn and fivethirtyeight on my computer, refreshing every ten minutes or so...

CONSIDERING that Calif., Or, and Washington are locks for Obama as they have been considered this whole time, Obama has won the election. Everyone is giving Obama 207 electorate votes without this state... and those three states have 73 votes combined...

NOW what am I going to do with my kick-ass Sarah Palin impression?

I KNOW!... 2012 :D:D:D:D

Bite your tongue!

I tried and had an allergic reaction ;)

(for those who don't get it, I'm being sarcastic)

Joe Biden won his seat back in Delaware. Did he even campaign for it?

I know in Texas we have the LBJ clause - you can run for two political offices at the same time. Wonder if they have the same thing in Delaware.

Vegas, baby, Vegas! ;)
LOL.

I'll honestly piss blood if Obama wins AZ.

However (GRUNCH), shit's over kids. Ohio - just sick. Totally sick, plus Florida offsets VA nicely. Wow . . .

Pretty much. The new Dem. Gov. will appoint a replacement. Everyone is hoping his son will run for it in a special election.

will.i.am did an interview with CNN via hologram - Freaking awesome!

am i the only one wondering how much $$ cnn put into their technology? damn, do they have a contract with MIT or something?? holograms? good lord lol!

I don't know but it's awesome. Will.i.am asked if it was like Star Wars or something. Hehe.

see, Obama will be okay. he doesnt need to ever leave the white house, he can just project himself where he needs to be lol!

True!

Same thing in Connecticut. In 2000, Lieberman won his Senate seat (as a Democrat) without doing any campaigning.

The Democrats took all 5 House seats here. Too bad about Shays (Republican incumbent in my district) - he's done a lot of good work. But hopefully Himes will do good things over the next two years.

WHOOPS! Obama carries VA too . . .

Virginia goes for Obama!

First time it's gone for a Democrat for President since 1964.

CNN just called the race for Obama.

Say it with me....... President Obama............ :D

CNN has officially projected Obama as the next president elect!!!! GRANT PARK IS FREAKING OUT!

We can hear it, and we're a good distance away in another neighborhood.

ETA: SOMEONE JUST SET OFF FIREWORKS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

CNN just called the election-President Obama.

VIRGINIA I LOVE YOU!!!! WELL WORTH GETTING UP AT 5AM THIS MORNING!!!!!!

Nittany that is my laptop background AS WE SPEAK!!!!

WOW. Just...wow!

Chicago: well chuffed and ready for a party.

Also:anyone just catch the AKA on the NBC coverage? I've been spotting letters during the night, NBC has been filming lots of college groups.

I'm seriously tearing up.

This is more painful than originally thought. And, I got another nasty Facebook message.

If anyone wants to punch me in the gut right now, it's a good time...

Same here. It's amazing and I'm very happy. :) Well, almost happy. I will miss Tina Fey's impressions of Sarah Palin.

I will too...i am crying over this too!!! its been such a bad time for my family this past year and this is the happiest we have been in so long!

I thought she said she was giving up the impressions, regardless of the election results.

Honestly, congratulations to all the Obama voters. I obviously wasn't voting for him, but I'm happy for you all that you got to see your candidate elected. Congrats.

God I hope so! :p

Aww, while I am supremely happy, there is no need to rub it in.

I hope that Obama can unite the country and lead us all together into better times.

Be thankful...because now she won't have to leave Earth.

Oh, and sister Nittany, you're not the only one. I just got off the phone with my mom and we cried together!

I must admit that I didn't study the candidates' platforms word for word but the highlights made me vote Obama.

It may have been wrong of me but when I looked at McCain, I kept seeing Bush and the prospect of Sarah Palin for 4 years - whether she was VP or President. I didn't want that to happen to the country I love.
