Obama versus McCain (versus the rest)

[GrantDawg]

Pat Buchannon just compared Obama to FDR, and this might be that big a shift for the Democratic party. Strange.

[larnott]

McCain looks to be pulling away in Indiana

He currently has a two point lead based on voted entirely culled from rural counties, all of which are voting way (5-10%) down from what they did for Bush in '04... just wait until Marion/Lake county starts to trickle in.

[Tigercat]

If Obama can stay within 2 in Indiana, it means it is very likely tonight will break like the polls predicted.

[Tigercat]

Ha, CNN going all Jedi ghost hologram with its reporters.

[ISiddiqui]

Did CNN just "beam" a correspondent in? WTF?!

[Lathum]

thats pretty sweet

[Racer]

aIndiana just flipped again

The big thing is to see what counties are reporting.

hxxp://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#mapPIN

Marion and Lake counties are typically both big Democratic counties and neither county has reported any results. St. Joseph county (South Bend area) is also a democratic county by Indiana standards, but I heard on TV that Bush won the county by one or two percent in 2004. Right now Obama is up 64% to 35% with a third of the precincts reporting.

[Alan T]

MSNBC's night coverage is a good bit more biased liberally than their coverage was for the most of the day. Not sure how much longer I can tolerate this station tonight.

Fox just called West Virginia for McCain...

[Alan T]

Sorry, just wanted post 10,000 in this thread.

To make it political.... McCain with the early 8-3 lead going into the 2nd inning, but the Democrats have the middle of the lineup up in the next inning.

[Karlifornia]

Interesting to see how red Indiana was in 2004 compared to the results so far. Looking promising for Obama.

Dola-

So far Virginia and Florida are looking good for McCain as well...

[Karlifornia]

Post

Oh, darn.

CNN is showing Florida early Obama 48 McCain 34. What happened to the other 18%? Pat Buchannon.

how are there almost 1 million votes from Florida yet they are reporting only 2% of precincts hace reported in.

Let me tell you, I barely watched any TV in my week in Florida last week due to all the damned political ads...

[Neon_Chaos]

Obama just jumped McCain in FL by 100K votes

That's essentially the Miami-Dade votes coming in. Would love to see how the rest of the State falls.

Dole lost to Hagan in North Carolina.

[GrantDawg]

So, basically CNN is breaking down the rural counties in several states showing that Obama is out performing Kerry in the areas Bush won. Changes from 60-40 Bush/Kerry to 53-47 McCain/Obama will kill McCain.

I know its early, but based on what is in so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see Florida go to Obama and Virginia go to McCain. Which is the opposite of what the trends predicted. (And would be a good trade for Obama obviously.)

Dole lost to Hagan in North Carolina.

Good (if only because of that insane ad).

Also of note, that was Jesse Helms' seat, according to some guy on Fox News.

and i voted to decriminalize pot possession (well, make it a fine vs. jailtime)

[Celeval]

Hagan/Dole: Good to know, we're watching CNN. It's a pretty wide split, but that's a similar Dem/Rep split as the presidential and governor races, so didn't think it was good enough to call yet.

[JetsIn06]

[DaddyTorgo]

that's a messed-up viewpoint though. because the taxes are going to have to come from somewhere. so if it's not income tax it'll be property tax and a nice big salestax add-on

[Alan T]

My wife was a school teacher before her illness, and currently is working on getting licensed for school psychology. Local governments have already said very clearly if prop #1 passes, teacher salaries will be cut. My personal belief is they shouldn't cut teacher salaries and instead should look at increasing local property taxes if need be. I am not against paying taxes. I am against paying taxes for Boston or Springfield improvements that I never see or care about.

Fox just called Chambliss as a winner.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Had to do a doubletake walking past the TV a few minutes ago. FXNC had the popular vote running total on the screen & for a second I thought they had typo'ed something & put the same number twice. I can't quote the exact numbers but at that point with 15 million votes tabulated the two were separated by 3,000 votes. That'd be 0.02% difference.

Obviously it won't hold up that way but I thought it was just a neat moment in time to see that big a number divided that closely.

I'm surprised that they're calling Georgia already.

I thought the plan would be implemented over several years. If it's going to be implement right away, than I think it's a stupid idea that way.

No, it would cut personal income tax by 2.65% for income gained in 2009, and then remove it entirely for income gained in 2010, so not immediate.

Yea, calling Chambliss a winner at this point is hard to believe, unless they feel they have some EXCELLENT exit polls.

Either that or they can tell which results posted include early voting & which don't. You could do some reasonable extrapolation with that info.

But at the same time, I'm not seeing things that would lead me to call based strictly on what's been posted so far. Little snapshots, such as Wilkes County which went 55% Bush (statewide was 58%) in '04 being completed tonight with Chambliss leading Martin 49.4% to 48.5%. That's within the margin for an outright win if everything held up the same way elsewhere but it also showed a virtual zero change in total votes from 4 years ago, meaning it doesn't appear reliable as a predictor (since it didn't experience increased activity).

[sabotai]

I'm on CNN's website but listening to MSNBC and it's pretty funny how they keep calling different states.

Still rather quick (only two years in a downturn). I just find it interesting they are trying to tax everything (such as taxing college endowments over a $1 billion and bringing in casinos), instead of cutting costs.

Do you think that the state would collect more sales tax revenue and would see a long-term increase in new jobs (thanks to lower taxes) and more individual spending? Would it stop the flight of people to places like New Hampshire.

Therefore, CA (55) + FL (27) + OH (20) puts him over the top (assuming all "calls" hold)

[JonInMiddleGA]

how did the POS get reelected?

I'm going to answer that as honestly as I can: by not being a liberal p.o.s.
Any mistakes he might make pale in comparison to that.

[fantom1979]

Jennifer Granholm on MSNBC. She's pretty corrupt, isn't she? (only from what I've read on her).

I have never heard that she is corrupt, but some people believe she is inept.

[Galaxy]

Fox just called Ohio for Obama. I think that's it.

I saw that. I think agree with you, McCain is done.

[Flasch186]

O stands for Ohio

[DaddyTorgo]

i'd rather hit gloria borger and/or campbell brown than sarah palin

[KWhit]

Somebody needs to emphasize the importance of leaving what's said at home at home.

Or maybe just tone down the hate talk. There's an idea.

[Galaxy]

I have never heard that she is corrupt, but some people believe she is inept.

Thanks for the clarification.

[sabotai]

Fox just called Ohio for Obama. I think that's it.

MSNBC called Ohio as well for Obama.

[Logan]

i'd rather hit gloria borger and/or campbell brown than sarah palin

I'd rather hit the chick that gave Karl the clap than Sarah Palin.

[GrantDawg]

ABC also called Ohio for Obama.

[miked]

I still have a hard time believing Chambliss can run away with this because Dekalb and Fulton haven't really been posted (at least not on any sites I see). Oh well.

[Galaxy]

MSNBC projects Louisiana for McCain.

[Young Drachma]

Talk about an anti-climatic night. lol

[tucker rocky]

What kind of offensive settings are being used for this election?

Smash Mouth, Run-n-Shoot, Balanced, West Coast?

[BishopMVP]

Next step is a college football playoff.Change I can believe in.

[timmynausea]

Add ABC to the list of those calling Ohio for Obama.

[sabotai]

[DaddyTorgo]

idk that any of these gay marriage bans would stand up to lawsuits though...

[sabotai]

Virginia is separated by 10,000 votes with 70% reporting.

[JonInMiddleGA]

She is, ah, very nicccee.

[Tigercat]

It will be a very interesting result if NC goes to Obama but Virginia doesn't.

[sabotai]

idk that any of these gay marriage bans would stand up to lawsuits though...

The Florida one is to amend their state constitution and so is the California one.

[Lathum]

Fox is interviewing one of McCains advisors and she seems very defeated

[GrantDawg]

Run & shoot, one side has an athletic QB.


Oh no you didn't.

[Senator]

It will happen.

College Playoffs - please make it happen Obama. You can do anything!!

[DaddyTorgo]

New Mexico called for Obama on MSNBC,

Cronin outvoted those other three guys hard.

[sabotai]

And I call dibs on Maria Bartiromo.

[GrantDawg]

College Playoffs - please make it happen Obama. You can do anything!!


I think that last minute interview put him over the top.

[Senator]

Instead of calling it state for state, why don't you call the election?

[Noop]

College Playoffs - please make it happen Obama. You can do anything!!

I think college football's current system will be the reason.

[JonInMiddleGA]

It will be a very interesting result if NC goes to Obama but Virginia doesn't.

I just said pretty much that same thing to my wife. If you told me NC went Obama, I would have assumed without hesitation VA did too.

[Galaxy]

It's 200-85 right now according to MSNBC.

[Lathum]

Instead of calling it state for state, why don't you call the election?

if they call the election people turn off the TV

[BishopMVP]

[fantom1979]

30% Republican turn-out in Ohio. Ouch.

That doesn't help win a state you have to take.

[DeToxRox]

Obama needs to get a gatorade shower.

[DaddyTorgo]

CNN's calling Ohio. bang!

[terpkristin]

Anybody care to guess what the stock market does tomorrow?

[Arles]

Obama needs to get a gatorade shower.
What he said!

[terpkristin]

ABC calling NM for Obama.

/tk

[Arles]

Anybody care to guess what the stock market does tomorrow?
I hope it stabilizes a bit with this election now over.

[GrantDawg]

Obama needs to get a golden shower.


Dude! Keep that to yourself!

[Galaxy]

+4 for the Dems in the Senate right now.

[sabotai]

NC is now within 60,000 votes so it looks like that will come down to the wire (not that it looks like it'll matter). Virginia's difference is ~7,000.

I deft you to not get this stuck in your head

[DeToxRox]

I just hope Obama isn't in the Prevent Defense right now. Hate to have to stay up until 4 AM to see it called.

[sabotai]

And McCain seems to be holding a 50k-60k lead in Indiana as the numbers keep coming in so it looks like he'll carry that one.

[DaddyTorgo]

LOL - so apparently in McCain HQ they've turned off the news

[cuervo72]

Heh, Diane Sawyer seems almost giddy on ABC.


Oh, and a big +1 on Campbell.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I don't want a college football playoff. I'm leaving the USA.

Bwuh? From BBC (No, I don't see any mention in Google yet)

BBC North America editor Justin Webb: Fascinating tales from Virginia - a Democratic lawyer tells me that litigation may follow if they lose the state: sophisticated efforts have been made to derail their victory, they claim, involving a double computer hack.

[JPhillips]

I believe I hear a chorus of fat ladies.
