Wow my dad said that the polls were empty in the afternoon.
It took him 5 minutes to vote.

42% of Dallas County voted early (hence the lack of crowds today). Obama won those 60 to 39.

OK, but Mc will roll in TX anyway.

I guess there's a chance, but I doubt it. He would have to run up the vote in the urban counties something fierce, in order to make up for the whipping he will take in the rural areas.

wow.. obama is killing ohio. I didn't expect that.

HaHa... Cthulhu always wins. Just wait until his platform of neoliberal communitarianism gets unveiled after his puppet takes office. I think the reason he favors Obama is he didn't want to have to put his arm up a cadaver's arse.

Obama with PA. Its about to be over pretty early....unless there are some pretty big surprises.

[chumdawg]

These are the early voting results for our four-county area:

COLLIN - REP 134,865 (62%) DEM 83,746 (38%)
DALLAS - REP 200,246 (40%) DEM 305,501 (60%)
DENTON - REP 110,014 (61%) DEM 70,130 (39%)
TARRANT - 227,307 (54%) DEM 196,773 (46%)

TOTAL - REP 672,432 (50.6%) DEM 656,150 (49.4%)

We are very evenly split around these parts!

Palin was the nail in Mc Cain´s coffin. Rep party should have gone to find somone better.

[Janett_Reno]

It is over. OH Obama and soon we will hear FL Obama.

[Murphy3]

Chum, it's split around the entire country. Look at how close the popular vote is...

Anyways, one thing is for sure.. Democrats carry alot of places around this country that I could care absolutely less about.. the northeast.. I could live without. California.. couldn't care less if it falls off in the ocean...

Perhaps it's time for 2 separate countries.

[chumdawg]

The biggest surprise to me so far is how big an early lead Obama has in both PA and OH. He is flat kicking the crap out of McCain in PA. As much time as McCain/Palin spent there in the last couple weeks, I thought it would be closer.

I am also mildy surprised to see TX within about five points so far. It may still get out to the ten or so margin the pollers had it at, but maybe not. That could be a major sign of a very large cyclical shift occuring in national politics. We'll have to see the Hispanic vote in TX to know for sure. But if that vote is sharply for the Dems, the Reps may have a hard time winning a presidential election for the next generation or so.

[Janett_Reno]

Path in VA has been harder and up for grabs now. NC Obama looks good but close and also IN, who would have thought a democrat could be this close. Plus a big county is out for Obama, so do not count out IN.

I just hope reps keep dropping money in PA. It is looking blue around the country. I am afraid we are going to come up short in the senate. Lizzy is gone and that's good. 200-85 Obama. Beautiful.

[rabbitproof]

2 countries, lol

such prejudice coming out..

Sounds more like an endorsement for John Edwards to me.

[chumdawg]

Janett, I am hearing that VA is looking pretty safe for Obama. Haven't heard much analysis about NC. I'm a bit surprised to see the size of the early lead there.

Indiana is, I think, going to be very close. Not sure Obama will pick up enough votes in the NW to get there, the more I look at it, though.

Obama 175 - McCain 61

This thing is over folks.

WA and OR are on par with California in terms of liberal-ness. With those 18 in the bag as well, that's game for Obama. He's polishing off his victory speech as we post.

[Janett_Reno]

In Ky, Mitch E Poo hangs on.

[rabbitproof]

Who is John Edwards?

Yes, Lizzy Dole was a rubber stamp for George W Bush. She signed everything the neocons sent her and now she gets the boot. Her last ad was very bad talking about god and religion. If you want to see a sad ad, go to youtube and watch Elizabeth Dole ad. Her opponent is a Sunday school teacher.

Lizzy, is out and another thing was Lizzy very seldom stayed in NC, the state she was a senator in. They booted her. Bob Dole is her husband.

[fluid.forty.one]

haha CNN just hypothetically gave McCain like every state left that he has ANY chance at all in (even a slim one) except Wash/Oregon/Cali and Hawaii, and still couldn't get him to 270.
