I've found a few early mentions of Obama:

February 2006: McCain lays the smackdown on Obama

I remember when this letter came out, never would have imagined that these two men would be facing off right now....and definitely wouldn't have been expecting Obama to be the favorite to win.

I hope that this election brings about the end of the neo-conservative movement once and for all. I hope to see overwhelming rejection of every single one of the bloodsuckers. Let the massacre begin!

I don't know what my first PoliGAF post was. However, I think this is a really interesting thread that everyone should look at:

I'll vote for Obama. depending on who is running against him (I would prefer Pataki instead.)


I'm glad he announced this way, instead of ON The Oprah Show, like it was rumored.

NH was easily my lowest point. I was drowning in Hopium and Hillary took it all away from me.

I easily went crazy that thread, and even created a new thread titled something like "Obama will not win the nomination" because I had lost all hope.

I had a mini freakout session in that thread when Obama lost.

I was taking classes at night at the time so I missed a ton of primary nights since so many were on Tuesdays. I got home that night and Obama was losing but it hadn't been called yet.

I was so fucking pissed. I had come home expecting hopium overdose.

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Be prepared for the Fox News/Drudge/Limbaugh/Hannity hailstorm of "Obama wants to shut down the coal industry" tomorrow and Tuesday. It's all they'll be talking about.

It's already on the top of Drudge.

Edit: Here's the Hannity thread celebrating the Drudge headlines. Apparently these rubes think it's enough to put McCain in the White House.

HOLY FUCK Samuel L Jackson did voiceover for an ad against Prop 8!!

There's no way it can pass now.

i KNEW that was him!!!!

also, i know John Stweart said that Bus was comedy gold and that he'd miss making fun of a president...but I think he should have plenty of material from the Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge, Joe Wurlizplumber, and Pailin meltdowns :)

I've moved on from the inevitable Obama win. What needs to happen is:

1) Michele Bachmann is eradicated from her seat.
2) Ted Stevens goes to jail - and loses his Senate seat to the Democrats
3) Al Franken!

In before page 1000.:D Just wanted to let you guys know that so far, it's been an amazing run on GAF. I thoroughly expect tons of the usual "smartassness" from you guys and gals in addition to epic gifs in this thread. Don't let me down!

So at this point is there any viable chance of there being a democrat supermajority in Congress? I keep hearing 57-59 and not 60 (which is the number for a supermajority, correct?)

Actually, it COULD be that after this election the support remains as organized and seeks to get repugnant right wigners to lose their seats. If people wanted to they could organize enough so to get the Bachmanns of this world out of office. Organize, contribute, inform, vote.

Please provide links to working online streams for election coverage, such as CNN, MSNBC etc.

Not everyone will have access to a TV.
Click to expand...
The links for the debates should work for election night coverage :D


C-SPAN1 (Direct Link), C-SPAN2 (Direct Link)

CNN.com Live
Direct Links:
Stream 1
Stream 2
Stream 3
Stream 4

MSNBC (Looks like MSNBC Election Day Online coverage has started....Link is streaming live MSNBC right now!); if the link is changed or it goes down, the frontpage of MSNBC.com will probably have the new link in bold letters on election day.

60 is needed for a supermajority. It's possible, but it seems likely that the dems will fall just short.

oh, and the official PPP Pa poll:

Obama - 53
McCain - 45
http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2008/11/pennsylvania-results.html

slightly better than Va #'s, and still pure awesome

Nice, only two points other or undecided. Eight points is PLENTY.

Tomorrow is going to be such a long day at work. I won't be getting any work done. :lol
