US ELECTION: Results as they come in

reply to post by nixie_nox


Is anyway you can get somebody to take care of the baby until you vote?, a drop in day care that you can trust?

If not then take him with you and let him steal the show.

The YouGov/polimetrix 2008 election forecast predicts Obama will win the popular vote 51%-45%, translating into 327 electoral votes.

Most detailed poll I've seen so far.

I voted here in Fresno, CA for Obama/Biden as soon as the polling place opened.

No lines, in and out right away!

Just thought it was a little strange to vote in a church, especially voting on Prop 8 (voted no btw!)

I'll be interested to see how Fresno does, we are Cali, but very rural/agricultural.

Were they handing out free raisins at the polls in Fresno??

Sorry, I just had a flashback from the old "Fresno" sitcom.

Gotta love small towns.

A member of McCain's team gave an interesting comment to the BBC.

"It's still possible, but we are in for a long night"

I'd be surprised, but no shocked if McCain manages to pull off the mother of all comebacks. It's difficult, but possible.

For UK members:

BBC have said, on their website, results are expected to come in at midnight. New Hampshire is believed to be the first state to declare tonight.

No raisins but the lingering smell of cow poo in the air reminded me to vote yes on Prop 2 (animal cruelty). Gotta love the smell of feces everywhere you go...

how reliable's the source on the john kerry rumour infinite?

i'ld love to know where in the heck do you get this stuff.

There is a drop off care but it is in 15 miles in the other direction. I am in one of those over developed but rural places. The scattered mcmansions. so there is nothing close but the polling will be busy, which is also far away.

My husband is trying to scoot out eary, if not we will just have to brave the late rush.

My state is deciding on early voting this year. I think I will say yes for all the baby-sitterless moms out there.

John Kerry is on the short list for Secretary of State

What does that have to do with voting results or issues??

Are you now opening this thread to rumor and propaganda?

Obama wins 65% to 35%. Move along nothing to see here. Glad it will be over soon and we can get back to talking about things that really matte.
