    doh

  • Kal

    Must be based on exit polls, right? The whole vote isn’t in yet in either place.

    McCain is doing well in Ky

  • Alice Severens

    I have a bad feeling about Indiana – comparing it to 2000 and 2004, the evil ONE is way over-performing… by nearly 30 points in some places.

    And none of the machine cheater counties (Lake, Marion, St Joe, Monroe, and Tippecanoe) have reported anything yet.

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    Yay Lindsey has kept his seat in SC

  • DeaninMi

    CNN calls Vermont for Obama (with 0% reporting, go figure), and Kentucky for McCain (with actual numbers, surprisingly.)

  • Andrew

    I just heard that Marion county is too close to call.

  • Shiloh

    You’re not admitting it, you are praying for it. Fail.

  • DERK

    Machine cheater counties lmao i think You are just looking for a reason to recount roflmao.

  • Alice Severens

    Nearly all of Vigo – a big Indiana bellweather – has reported.

    Bush won Vigo by about 8 pts. EO (I’m abbreviating Evil One rest of the night) is winning by 15.

    I am sick right now.

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    48 to 51 percent national popular vote so far to MACK!!!

  • DERK

    popular vote only counts in brownie points electoral college is what matters

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    whoa

    I just saw something for FLA

    whoa

    hey i love these early numbers

  • Shiloh

    but still good to see!

  • Ferd McBerfle

    Trolls, even on election night. They are worried.

  • http://www.deathofthedemocraticparty.com xax

    is there anyway to watch fox news live election coverage. All I can get is CNN and they are saying Big Mac is on “life support”. I do not want to watch them

  • Dark Knight

    did you see the hologram thing on cnn right now??

  • Firefly

    VA – 1% in – 55% McCain, 44% barky

    FL – 1% in – 53% McCain, 46% barky

    Saw in on Fox

  • catherine

    Go away troll.

  • Clara Barton

    Remember, don’t pay attention to the exit polls.
    Indiana is a nail-biter and Lake County will do whatever it takes, like they did with Hillary.

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    OH I know but the news earlier were saying how BHO would probably rack up a 3 million plus popular vote total and could barely eek by the electoral vote

    looks like it may be the opposite!!!

    You Repubs sure know how to come out the woodwork!

    YAY btw!

  • Boxer Mum 06

    Oprah jinxes Obama from TMZ

    Oprah Winfrey called into “The Ed Lover Show” on Power 105 this morning and confessed she already has a dress she picked out for Barack Obama’s inauguration. Counting your chickens before they hatch, O?

  • http://johnmccain.com Galt’s free popcorn for all Mac supporters!

    Things will go up and down tonight but in the end we will send Opampers packing to Rezko Manor where USA Fitzy will greet him. :shock:

    What is amazing to me is how many totally braindead people there are in America that are voting for Opampers. But not enough will in key states. :mrgreen:

  • DERK

    I hope Obama wins and Mcain who is on life support loses

  • jj

    Keep the faith folks. Returns are very early!!

  • Alice Severens

    That’s completely what they are. St Joe (South Bend), Lake (Gary), Marion (Indianapolis), Monroe (IU) — I guarantee you the crooks are calculating how many fake votes they need to slip in for EO… and this rate, it won’t be many.

  • Nobama

    I agree…though they did call the governor race for the repub incumb. I am not sure how they can call it for him when the urban areas have not reported yet. Lake county is way AA as well as Indianapolis

  • FranSC

    The networks and cable outlets are not using exit polls to project winners because they found out in 2004 that John Kerry looked like the winner based on exit polls. Same in 2000. In fact, that’s why they projected Gore the winner in FL in 2000. The exit polls have always shown Obama doing better than he actually does… they say.

  • McPalin

    nationwide
    52 MCCAIN
    47 Obama
    Mac is slaughtering BO in N.H. :)

  • http://americanpumainitaly.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

    how cool was that? (it was on the italian news here, i am not watching cnn on my computer.)

  • catherine

    Maybe she can wear it for her wedding with Gayle.

  • jj

    McCain is doing very well in Virginia and Florida. Back on top in Indiana too.

  • Firefly

    Fox ain’t much better – I think the way to go is to turn it on CNN or Fox or whatever, watch the numbers on the screen and turn off the sound.

  • MsSoAnd So

    oh brother trolls by the dozen tonight. aren’t there any cartoons on tonight for you to watch?

    Go McCain/Palin!

  • Dawnelle Leona del Puma

    they LIE

    not sure how maybe at their website?

    I have a small tv in here where the puter is …. but I’m moving to the bigger tv soon!! ;-)

  • beebop

    I hope they pull you off life support and we lose you … buh-bye loser! :)

  • Nobama

    I am not sure what you are talking about in NH. Are you joking?

  • Andrew

    Wait, some people are saying all the big counties have been counted and others are saying they haven’t. Which is it?

  • SensibleWomanNOTforBO

    Just want to share what I find to be an interesting statistic about central MO.

    Sarah Palin had a rally in Jefferson City, MO (MO state capital) yesterday morning. Attendance was approximately 15,000.

    To put that into perspective, Jefferson City’s population is approximately 40,500 as of July of 2007 according to City-Data.com.

    Granted I’m SURE many came from counties surrounding Jeff City, attendance of 15,000 is over 1/3 of the population of Jefferson City, MO.

    :-)

  • jj

    Firefly…that’s exactly what I am doing. Watching Fox with the mute button on and blogging on NQ.

  • http://johnmccain.com Galt’s free popcorn for all Mac supporters!

    You bet your ass they are worried.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    First good thing Oprah has ever done. Her magazine is going kaput – sales numbers are in the shitter.

    Also, Obama un-inivited all his celeb guests from his party tonight.

    I have picked out an outfit for Obama: an orange jumpsuit. He’ll hate the federal penitentiary, but he’ll hate wearing PUMA orange even more.

  • Nobama

    NC results will be coming in after 7:30

  • DERK

    Msoandso i think you are a wonderful person and what im about to say is not intended to be offensive but r u on life support too? Go Obama/Biden

  • http://americanpumainitaly.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

    I can’t take the pressure! hahah

    I am really bummed too, because I would like to be excited and appreciate the historical-ness of the first potential black president, but he has lied so many times, and his attacks and charges of racism, and the attacks launched by his nasty mean supporters just makes it impossible to even be excited about it.

    and that is sad.

  • Andrew

    How well and are they counting the very black or densely populated regions? What is with Indiana. Scaring the crap out of me.

  • Sarracuda

    How is McCain doing in New Hampshire, someone here posted about McCain doing well over there??

  • Firefly

    Anecdotal from a commenter at Hillbuzz:

    I saw that 16% of Hillary voters are going for McCain in OH. I think it’ll be much higher. This is WAY better than I expected. McCain will have a huge advantage this election.

  • georgiapeach

    She was already in celebration mode on her show this afternoon, too. I saw a few seconds before I could get to the remote to change the channel.

  • FranSC

    We should not worry about the first returns anywhere it is very close. The first ones come from the inner cities. The suburbs and rural areas will be more McCain areas. They come in later.

  • McPalin

    Mac won Kentucky

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Real Housewives of Atlanta is on Bravo.

  • Judy L. NC

    That was VERY cool.

  • Hope is the last to die

    It doesn’t look too good for McCain to be honest. Obama wins the blue states with a WIDE margin and McCain is struggling in red states like Virginia.

    Damn, if O wins, he’ll be the prez for 8 years. The frauds he arranged now are nothing compared to the ones he’ll be able to do as a president.

    It’s a good thing I’ve begun to learn russian and chinese, because the heydays of the US are gone when Obama is the pilot.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Yee-ha!

  • Judy L. NC

    Derk? Which rhymes with JERK?

  • NoBama

    VT is like a Communist state-no surprise there.

  • Patti

    I have multiple windows open and Fox in the background…

    Maybe we can keep out sanity that way, jj!

    It is looking good for Mac in Fl, In, Va….

  • Sarracuda

    Vermont thinks that Sex offenders can be cured by giving them hugs. I had no doubt Vermont would go to Obama

  • Firefly

    Oops! “our” sanity – not “out” sanity – hope that wasn’t a Freudian slip – lol!

  • DERK

    actually my name is Derek my nickname is and wat does judy rhyme with? doodie

  • Arabella Trefoil

    She is one sorry piece of business.

  • shadow

    VA 54-46 McCain

  • Andrew

    Those look good. How much left to count in Indiana?

  • Sarracuda

    Someone told me that they heard on Fox radio that McCain has won Indiana

  • http://www.hillaryorbust.com Hillary or Bust

    I’m not worried about Obama winning by large margins in blue states. That doesn’t matter one bit.

    I have lived in California for a long time and watched it go blue for the past two elections only to have a Republican win the White House.

    What matters is who wins the swing states.

  • hilldem08

    Fox just called WV for Mccain

  • lisa in va

    Also, Obama un-inivited all his celeb guests from his party tonight

    Where are you getting this? Link please:-) Thanks.

  • beebop

    Vermont elected Dean. Enough said.

  • Judy L. NC

    I know you’re eager for the pony you believe Obama will give you, but, really, STFU

    I thought you had to be at least 12 years old to join the OHitler-Jugend and get the secret decoder ring and propeller beanie? :shock:

  • Firefly

    Major Garrett on Fox, who’s been covering barky all this time, says they’re not confident about NC – AA turnout has been lighter than expected – good for our team! McCain will take it, IMO.

  • McPalin

    I’m on C-Span. No Spin.
    I like the call-ins.

  • Barry bums a ciggie

    I come here everyday and have never seen Samy before…nice try troll.

  • shadow

    Fl 48-34 Mccain
    Indiana 52-47 McCain 14% in
    SC 63-35 McCain
    VA 56-44 McCain

  • http://johnmccain.com Galt’s free popcorn for all Mac supporters!

    Wowsa! Let’s hope this holds.

  • LilRod

    NH – less than 1% reporting..Obama by approx 67%

  • Alice Severens

    I’m looking at the maps by county.

    I know what’s coming in – and what hasn’t.

    This is very bad news. With the counties reported so far, McCain needed a BIG (like 25-30 pts) cushion.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    Yes!

  • JG

    CNN trying to talk their way out of McCAin doing well. Sickening.

  • hilldem08

    with 14% of the vote in, Mac opens up a 5pt spread in Indiana — pray it holds…

  • Andrew

    Only 14% in in Indiana. I thought they were almost done counting.

  • http://www.deathofthedemocraticparty.com xax

    I’m sorry, but what the hell is up with that holligram sh*t?

  • Elle

    CNN nervous in their commentary.

  • McKatmoon

    ROFL! Arabela!

  • bemused

    As said above, when they are counted the urban areas will tend to come first. Remember that will also be where AA votes are counted. CNN does have a good county map where you can see each county, and if you watch that when the actual votes come in, you will see exactly what I mean. You can wait until the county has about 50% total reported to decide if there is a trend or if it will be close. Don’t get excited until you see the black and white of the numbers.

  • LilRod

    It is too far early

    McCain is looking better than many thought

  • Bugs Bunny

    Hell…try NBC

  • Sarracuda

    WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON IN FLORIDA!!! How can Obama be winning a state with a HUGE Cuban population

  • DERK

    judy i know u hoping against all odds that mccain the life support man will win but it is highly unlikely that obama will lose so i ask y r u telling the victors party to STFU when obviously it should be u who STFU

  • McPalin

    53 to 46% now in favor of Mac

  • Dark Knight

    damn obama has a big lead in florida… does anyone know how many total people voted in FL last time? I’m trying to fifure out if the current margin of 100,000 is big

  • Judy L. NC

    Yay! I spent last week fishing with a couple from WV….so I KNEW this would happen. It was all about guns. . .

  • Arabella Trefoil

    They better get their patter down real well, because they will be making excuses all night.

  • Sarracuda

    Is that updated now cause a few minutes ago Obama was leading in Florida

  • http://johnmccain.com Galt’s free popcorn for all Mac supporters!

    Does the map refresh automatically or do we do a manual reload?

  • Andrew

    Where?

  • Alice Severens

    South Bend (St Joe) starting to come in — 1/3 so far. Bush won it by about 4 pts in 2004.

    Obama is winning it by 30 thus far.

    I want a refund for all the gas, phone calls, and work I did in Indiana!

  • http://www.deathofthedemocraticparty.com xax

    boy cnn is pulling out all the technical stuff tonight.

    I like the swiping

  • NoBama

    Mac has to hold the red states- NC, Virginia and indiana.

  • jbjd

    What are you talking about? (Second time I read this here.)

  • Hope is the last to die

    Wow, the ACORN votes kicked in. McCain led with 55-45 but all of sudden it’s Obama with 57-38.

    with 14% of vote in, Mac has a 6pt spread in Indiana. Pray it holds….

  • LilRod

    Sarracuda…still too early for here in Fl

    There are a growing number of Puerto Ricans in the Tampa area that might offset the traditionally Republican Cuban-American voters

    Looking forward to seeing the results of the Jewish-American voters in Broward and Palm Beach area

  • rw

    Vermont is where all the 60′s hippies went…I think.

  • bemused

    Darn, I meant to say where AAs are concentrated, not counted. They are all counted. I mean that you can see the racial breakdown, practically, in the results–or could in the primaries.

  • Brian_C82

    Has anyone bothered watching MSNBC? They have completely lost their minds. David Gregory sounds like he wants to give Barky a handjob.

  • Judy L. NC

    and I will, if we lose….but, until then, YOU STFU and go back to the Daily Kooks. Your pony will be delivered in the a.m.

  • Sarracuda

    COME ON FLORIDA..FREAKIN FLORIDA, come on Palm Beach County, you cant possibly tell me you want to have Obama as President

  • NoBama

    Why havent they called Maine already for Obama. That’s a very blue state. Not good news for him.

  • Boxer Mum 06

    I’m not watching tv at all. I’m on NQ and listening to Mark Levin.. he’s a riot! He refuses to announce anything that he can’t support. He is totally ignoring the exit polls.

  • heather

    Did you hear what they said about why they didn’t want the stars there? They said because it should be “all about Obama” tonight and the stars would detract from that. His head is so big right now, it would be hard to see anything else.

  • lark

    Obama Is Going To Pay
    For My Gas And Mortgage!!!

    But you are going to pay for all the higher prices on groceries, clothing and everything else under the sun when corporate and business taxes and electric bills skyrocket.

  • Nobama

    LOL…I cannot bring myself to watch the Obama love fest over there

  • Sarracuda

    Obama is leading in MIAMI, a city that has a large cuban population, are people retarded. CUBAN people want a guy that has been endorsed by CASTRO

  • Andrew

    Depressing. Am I going to have to take a tranquilizer?

  • cookiegramma

    it’s only at 2%

  • beebop

    Please. Some of us actually want to be able to close our eyes this evening at some point. The visuals are awful.

  • Arabella Trefoil

    I’m not watching TV either.

  • Firefly

    Last I looked barky was up approx. 200,000 in FL – but they’ve got 10.5 million registered voters there – so, probably just counted a big barky area – fingers crossed.

  • Bud White

    Just wait for the panhandle

  • Andrew

    Miami always goes to Dems I think.

  • jj

    I’m researching the huge chunk of votes Obama just received in Florida. It’s probably from the Jacksonville area….See what I can find out.

  • MG-PUMA

    The only guy I believe on Fox is Michael Barone and he just gave us bad news for Mac. Lets hope he is wrong.

  • Firefly

    10.5 million registered voters

  • lark

    Floridians can’t wait to imitate Cuban and now will be static to have a student of Che Guevara for President.

  • DERK

    im an independent who sees mccain as the wrong choice for our country judy especially with the empty headed vice presidential candidate SArah Palin Who believes it is ok to kill wolveswith gatling guns from helicopters so until he corrects the error in his judgement he will be utterly wrong about what is right for our country.

  • Nobama

    They should be calling GA soon I believe

  • rw

    Does the woman on the above video really believe what she is saying…that Obama will pay for her gas and her mortgage…did I misunderstand. If that is what a number of AA have been reading from Obama messages, then he is an abusive opportunist preying on the vulnerable. That is really sad.

  • Barry bums a ciggie

    where is this?

  • mlr701

    Deep breath – the same thing happened in 04. Kerry looked great, and then the red areas of the state started reporting…and things started looking dire.

  • http://www.deathofthedemocraticparty.com xax

    I don’t know where fox is getting that information from about FL. When you hit the link, only one district shows up and that’s eavy McCain.

  • Nobama

    Controlled kills are necessary. They had to cull deer in NW Indiana. While I hated it, sometimes it is important to do for the ecology of the area.

  • Andrew

    Should I just stop watching this blog? Is it over? Is it bad?

  • misfit

    Where is Mark Levin?

  • Dark Knight

    i am very concerned about florida. mccain can make up VA, but not FL

    this is not controlled killing it is a massacre?

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    Lake County already reporting cheating. Pro Obama poll watchers letting Obama voters get in line over and over and over and over and vote. This was a place in the Primary where two AA Men sat on Lawn Chairs outside the voting place and TOLD ALL THE HILLARY VOTERS TO LEAVE. Nice, huh? Lake is part of our documentary. And Gary was full of Fraud and I suspect it is now too.

  • Andrew

    How much is in from NC and VA?

  • Alice Severens

    Only South Bend in IN (McCain has cut the lead to 26 pts… bad… but not as bad as 30 pts).

  • Barry bums a ciggie

    and hanging out with a washed up terrorist who dedicated his books to cop killers and sirhan sirhan is considered good judgment? Sitting in a church and hearing a hateful racist blame AIDS and 911 on our government is also good judgment? Doing a land deal with a slumlord who cheats tax payers money is also good judgment? Please, go deal with your women issue elsewhere ’cause it sounds like that is your problem. You can’t tell me Obama’s judgment in associating himself to these punks is the same as McCain’s judgment in choosing Palin.

  • Bud White

  • jj

    The big chunk of votes in Florida or Obama came from Miami-Dade county.

    Looks like Indiana is going for Obama. Some keep saying that the bad regions haven’t been counted yet and when they are, they will be devastating.

    The numbers are going to go up and down and up again. God. I had forgotten how sick I was when Gore lost to shrub.

  • Peggy Sue

    No Sarracuda. Indiana is still too close to call and though Mac’s leading right now, we don’t have the break down of counties counted [urban to rural] and population spreads still to come.

  • Nobama

    I wouldn’t put a lot into the voting right now in FL. A bunch of the smaller counties have not come in. Miami shows Obama strong, but only 0% in so it is hard to say which precincts are in. I heard that the Latino vote there would be very strong for McCain

  • Barry bums a ciggie

    what? I see 53-46 in FL for McCain on the interactive map on Fox…is that where everyone is getting their numbers?

  • LilRod

    SC goes for McCain…expected

    actually they all look depressed. maddow was last heard saying “but why is repub turn out so HIGH?!”

  • shhy

    fox called North Carolina for mccain yee-ha

  • Karma

    I agree, the DNC, Obama, and his supporters have stolen the significance of the night for me also.

    It is one of the worst things about all of this, besides the selection and subversion of democracy.

    The loss of such an historical event.

  • alexei

    Deer are prey and have no predators since wolves have been eradicated in most states. That means that deer are overpopulated and starving.

    Wolves are predators. They keep the prey numbers in balance and studies have proven that they do not depress the caribou or other prey. Unlike many human hunters, wolves cull the sick, old, infirm etc.

    FWIW, I hope Obama loses, but, the wolf kill is terribly wrong for not only its cruelty, but, for the ecosystem.

  • lark

    Puertoricans probably voted for Obama so that the electric bills of islanders would triple over the extremely high rates they pay now. Obama will be sending Puertoricans in the island subsidies to every family to pay for electricity to run their refrigerators. Everything else will have to be disconnected.

    I heard the Obama campaign was making a plea for last-minute volunteers to GOTV. Well, they are wasting their time in Ohio. Polls closed here at 7:30. At 7:44 p.m. I got a robocall from “Barack Obama” himself, telling me I had a few more hours left still to get out and vote.

    they must be using exit polling. I thought the same thing and that seems to be a risky way of calling a race especially when there is a 10% spread. But these polls are not very reliable.

    You got that right. Puerto Ricans usually vote Democrat. Cubans are hard core Repubs. I am a Puma in Miami and voted Rupublican all the way.

    Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach will go to Obama. Let’s pray that the rest of the state goes for McCain. Kerry won the southern part of the state, but Bush won the rest last election.

    Hopefully, the Cubans and the Jews will offset.
