CNN has just announced that New York went to Obama. No surprise, but they are having fun in Times Square.
They are "projecting" Michigan (Hear that Dee) went to Obama
Minnesota they are also projecting will go to Obama. Can you imagine the lady that referred to Sen Obama as an Arab?

I don't know about that, but I'm getting Christmas music from one of the two TVs that are on.

Okay, someone help me with this: If the win is determined by electoral votes, why is it so important that the people vote? I used to know this one, but I'm drawing a blank.

Because the electoral votes are supposed to reflect how the people in that state voted.

It should be thrown out and just use a popular vote. Seriously. Doesn't matter though... the votes in my house were cancelled out lol.

If that were the case, Gore would have won in 2000 and we wouldn't have endured at least the first four years of W.

Obama just got New Mexico. I want to know Florida's results. My new home in Georgia went to McCain but I'm curious what happens in the state I grew up in.

If it wasn't so darn cold, I'd probably enjoy living in Minnesota. Jesse Ventura one year, now it looks like Al Franken is going to win. They have fun with their politics.
