US Election Watch - we'll be here for a while!

[taliac]

After the success of the all day / night London Election party we had earlier in the year, who fancies one for the US election?

Lots of nothing news so far from the US - some polling stations have long queues, but others don't! John McCain says tomorrow he "will be the President of the United States!" Sarah Palin is "very optimistic!" Hilary Clinton is predicting a big Obama win! Obama has been playing basketball!

Its going to be a good one..

I reckon people will be dancing on the streets anyway so you won't need to go anywhere.

Ah, I understand- that's why I said if safe. Second the getting together with neighbours idea though- just wish that people were awake here too! Other than my virtual friends, obv.

North Carolina 7% in Obama 57%

Florida - 30% in Obama 53%

You've probably all seen these before but something to laugh at again tomorrow when we're all feeling very unamused and dealing with our LOs feeling shattered.

he can't possibly win texas can he????????

Yes Texas 1% in 51% - so still a lot more million votes to come in yet there.......

Thank goodness - I haven't missed anything. DS2 just wet the bed so had to get him settled again.

The boy has no sense of history.

Apparently locals in Crawford now tell visitors that Bush isn't a real local anyway.

I'm staying up for Simon Schama. I love him.

can I just dance in? without education just enthusiasm?

Lots of Londoners take their buggies to the Notting Hill Carnival. That said... it is your decision.

This is an exciting time to be alive.

Eeeeewwwwww, not Simon Schama. Can;t stand him and his pompousfactuous lectures. Let's hope he's on a link from new York so they keep it short

I doubt it Sophable -

I am so pleased at the excitment this has generated

Do you reckon Hilary and Bill voted Republican, really?

I'm awful about staying away.

I was watching ABC news (one of the big 3 networks) and they were saying that Florida might come back around to McCain, as the Hispanic and younger voters who favor Obama didn't turn out in the numbers they expected, and all the old-ass people, who HEAVILY favor McCain turned out in high numbers.

That teaches me for turning on the TV.

I know it isn't going to happen, but it would kick ass if he won Texas, as A) Bush's home state, obviously and B) I guess 28% of Texans polled think he is Muslim.

Lol Sally at first I though in your chair!

simon schama, commenting on the election will involve reams of footage of him walking down a pavement, him drinking coffee, slow pan out of his mottled face studying some electoral projections, long shot of him eating eggs in a diner....

thunk

LOL Swedes. I guess this puts Hillary's ambitions on ice - maybe for ever?

Neicie Solidarity sister. dd just wet bed too, I changed sheets and returned to momentous election

hope you washed your hands sally - in case we do some virtual handholding. I'm a clean freak

I don't care that you all hate Simon. It just leaves more for me.

33% in Florida - still 53% Obama

There is a lot of weeing going on

Don't care if Hill and Bill voted Republican. Obama'll carry New York anyway.
