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..

Ha ha Swedes. I've ALWAYS voted either Green or LibDem.

I need to go to bed, but really want to see the moment.... will log off and see how it goes, maybe SS's idea of a powernap/doze will do the trick. Night all!

Mind you in my case it's because I'm incapable of taking responsibility for my decisions, so it suits me to vote for losers.

oooo i've voted green or lib dem since 97

Feeling Lucky - you could be in for a long wait so far only 6% in

HOWEVER - he is currently leading 59%

i'm going to bed once ohio is called. dh is waiting up for florida.

That's a fair point Sally.

PW _ I read that in he Times this week, a study that followed 10 year olds into their thirties. One of my good friends is a LibDem MP and I thought of you too funnily enough. You were excellent corroborating evidence.

God, I love the BBC but this coverage is awful.

Aw, shucks.

Who's your friend then? I'm guessing Evan Thing.

"DNA of the campaign and being unable to square the circle" gah

Is Mr Cheeky Girls worse than Mr Mandy though.

ooo things are getting close again in Indiana

62% in 50% McCain, 49% Obama - but the margain is much smaller with the number of votes - at one point there was a difference of about 90,000 between them - now just 30.......

Did anyone see that photo of George Osbourne in plus-fours and a Tears For Fears haircut this week?

Oh yes. Did you see Barabara Ellen's article alongside it. Amusing.

The Cheeky Girl left Lembit.

I learned something new just now. If a candidate won each of the 11 states with the highest number of electoral votes, they would have a high enough majority to be President.

Was it that picture of Osborne with his Bullingdon Club mates?

Not specifically Bullingdon I think - it was a shooting party. The Labour Party could run it as an election poster without any additions.

BBC pundit says Republican insiders are conceding defeat in Florida.

How many more states left voting? Have all the polls closed yet - I've lost track?

just switched on to this and rtead the last few posts and agree the bbc is crap

here

Woohoo Simon!!

no not all polls closed yet
