Are you going to color in the map as states are called, Ami?

Enough with the comma crap, guys. I already said to stop it in the other thread. No one wants to be banned this close to the election.

I was thinking of coloring the states in yeah. :D
 
I'll be showing up right after work to cast my ballot. If the person I'm not voting for wins, I'll be calling in sick the next day because it will be a disgusting morning of drunken wallowing.

This US election has been a disaster in my opinion. So much blatant racisim and sexisim out in the open all because of this election it's not even funny. At least the better candidate (Obama) is on track to win this election.

Cool, cool. I guess I am watching it with other people on my floor, but I'm probably going to come back and peek in here from time to time.

I predict Obama will win (going out on a limb there!) but not by as much as some of the wild predictions I've been reading on here lately. Even though it's a good time to be a Democrat right now :)D) this country still leans rightward, particularly in rural areas.

That's why I expect McCain to take a lot of the tight races - Ohio, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri. But with Pennsylvania and Virginia, Obama will have plenty of EV's to win by a comfortable margin.

I see there being four "backbreaker" states, if Obama wins ANY of these four, he's won the election: Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.

Gobama! And go senate! Let's have a blue sweep and push this country back to the middle again after it's been pushed rightward for the last 8 years.

IT ALL COMES DOWN THIS. THE FINAL POLIGAF THREAD.



So many memories, so many good times. *tear*

I still remember the 'cunning stunts' thread. And all the accidental mis-readings of the thread title.

I gotta say though, this is a little bittersweet.... it's my first presidential election. They're all going to be downhill from here- none so historic, none so wild, none so important. At least I got in on this one.
 
im kind of sad now...i wont be here when it all goes down. i'll roll back in probably around 11pm or midnight though. until election night though, im here.
 
I hope to be wearing a t-shirt on Wednesday that says "Yes We Did."

Strap in, guys and dolls; this will be the longest Monday EVER.

Y'know, back at the beginning when no-one thought Obama could win, and then he won Iowa, I got a magical feeling in my tummy at the thought that he might actually be President. And he is fucking going to be.

Thats too bad. You, along with all of the banned or absent PoliGAFers will be here in spirit!

As for myself, on Election Day I will have MSNBC on my TV, GAF on 1 computer tab, cnn.com on another, politico on another, daily kos on another, and drudge on another for the bitter tears :lol

It won't be over, guys. We still have plenty of PoliGAF threads to come ;)

We'll have the Interim thread after this and then the Inauguration Thread, right? I think there should be a general PoliGAF thread after the Inauguration for random discussion just so we don't feel empty. I need my PoliGAF fix everyday now. I can't remember life without it :lol

Any idea on if we can get the gaming side closed during election returns like dax and I mentioned? OT deserves its one day every 4 years, cause otherwise the board I suspect will be near impossible to actively manage reading/posting on come tuesday night. :(

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Is it possible that Obama will have won the election by the time the Daily Show/Colbert Report live special airs?:lol That'd be crazy.

After 2 close elections , a blowout would be nice.
