No GOP Presidential candidate has ever been elected without Ohio.
-
The numbers are way out of wack in favor of Obama in Ohio, 57% to 42% at Real Clear Politics.
Florida doesn't look good either, may be an early night.

This place is infested with north east corridor libtards! Man o' man how I wish we could have blown the I-95 bridge in the early 80's.

That's it then...

damn... looks like a lot uber liberal bills being pushed through right after Jan 20, 2008.
-
I'm thinking that between now and Jan 20 I need to get my hands on an AR lower or two while I still can.

These networks are calling a bunch of these states with out a majority of the precincts having posted results. And they are calling states for Obama with close percentages. I don't see them calling states for McCain when he leads by similar percentages?!

Same *expletive deleted*it happened in 2000 and 2004. Its due to exit polling and precints reporting.

True, but you would think GDDDDmmn Fox network would at least show some restraint!

Murdoch endorsed Obama earlier this year.
As for calling the election, the BBC (which has an unbelievably bad election night coverage) has it 200 - 124: http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Then Mr. Murdoch gets what is coming to him.

They want to kiss up to the new overlord too, so the oncoming Fairness Doctrine won't cause them to lose revenue.

Looks like the Repubs were fed the same spiel as the Ron Paul supporters re: rigged polls.
These networks are calling a bunch of these states with out a majority of the precincts having posted results.
They're already pretty sure who's gonna win a state by months worth of polls from multiple sources. They just wait until the voting in that state is over before they make the prediction, after the hell they caught for Florida 2000.

So that's it, eh? Game over, we lose (everything)?

It ain't over 'till it's over, and it ain't over yet.
Most of the states they're calling Obama for don't even have 30% of precincts reporting yet, let alone a majority. McCain still has a chance, small as it may be.

Its, uhh... complicated. Look at it like this: If you've got 3% of the precincts reporting in, and they're conservative historically, like 70% Republican and 30% Democrat but tonight the results are, say, 55% Republican and 45% Democrat... well, the Democrat is going to win that state.
It ain't over 'till it's over, and it ain't over yet.
It's over. Obama's going to get 364-ish votes in the EC.
-
Yeah, Fox already has their people at Obama's victory party. They're making sure they're on the Messiah's good side.
Sonofabitch. :P

Gigabuist, I understand the process, I don't agree with the process. Example, My wife is a registered Democrat. She voted for McCain/Palin. What these networks are doing is taking a WAG. I understand they have to put something on the screen just to keep the children interested. But it grates my nerves.

Texas for McCain.

You know what's good right now?

'nuff said.

Okay, what other network can I watch? Brit Hume is now in full kneepad mode about Obama. "First african-american president!" *doe eyes*
-
Iowa for Obama.
My home state, which I love is becoming a blue state from local elections up.
I may have to find a new place to live.

You aren't the only one. Dammit. I liked it here.
It just went ALL blue. And people wonder why crime has been going UP? Gee, maybe it started when the Democrats decided it would be "fair" to mandate more Section 8, and bring people UP from Lawrence "hellhole" Mass to put in it?
Why do they have to find new territory to destroy? Why can't they just roll in their own filth and stay put, instead of finding new places to soil?
-
From what I see, only 44% of Ohio precincts are in just now. Shouldn't they wait just a tad longer, in what has been a swing state? Oh, never mind, it's the Messiah.

If you think Brit Hume likes Obama too much then you're not going to find any other network to watch. You're not going to find any other country to move to like the liberals in the last election threatened. You're stuck with this, all you can do is try to change it.

I really think that exit polling should be outlawed, and networks should not be allowed to broadcast election results until all of the polls on the west coast have closed.
Even Fox was calling certain states at a bit after 5 pm Pacific time. Talk about voter suppression.

Yeah, and while we're at it why not institute some sort of "doctrine of fairness" right? :police:
Exit polling may be flawed, but no one is required to answer them and no one is required to listen to them. Do you have the same views of the 2A, that if it causes any problems it should be ignored?

Come on, I think MonkeyLeg is just blowing off steam. He like me probably feels that this country is jammed full of IDIOTS. And he would be right.
It took us 90 years to get here from the Wilson admin. I personally think that if we had been able to make Lincoln sue for peace to preserve the Union that we would not have even heard of Wilson or FDR.
It will take a slow methodical march through the educational system to correct this for our great great great grandchildren. I suggest we start now.
