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..

oooo Indiana is nail biting stuff - 88% in - Obama has pulled back to just 4000 votes short of McCain

The only thing funnier than Obama winning Arizona would be him winning Alaska. Of course, that would never happen, since they elected the freak, but it would be hilarious.

Ah, McCain pulling back ahead in Arizona (though they've cut the news feeds into his party - apparently there was a mass Blackberry rush )

I fear I'm getting overexcited and probably need a bex and a good lie down before school pick-up.

Obama's falling majorly behind in Arizona now, and has fallen behind in North Carolina, now, but is pulling away more in Florida.

Doodies

I am glad I read how this all works, I would be even more lost right now.

still ahead in Virginia, falling away in Indiana again now too

Lady of R, I'm appreciating my West Wing obsession like never before. It was a crash course in US politics.

I just checked on the BBC website... a few hours ago, I thought the College vote thingy was baout students voting, and that students votes were more important or something! I really should have finished my politics A level... CNN is too 'hardcore', am enjoying the squabbles and 'doodies' on the BBC

Ha ha, I still picture superdelegates in cape and tights.

obama 207 mccain 138 on beeb live txt but mccain ahead in sth dakota(?) am feeding 3 month old and for some reason the 3 yr old has woken up!

McCain pulling away in North Carolina, but Obama hanging onto his lead in Virginia with 90% of the vote in

Doodies?

135 on CNN... I get too confused channel hopping.

Colarado 25% in - Obama leading 56%

Yeah, some woman was talking about doodies earlier on the BBC (duties). [childish][tired]

Childish, but I'm laughing, too.

Indiana, Virginia and Florida are making me sick. They're going to have to count every vote before they can call anything.

ooo Indiana is very exciting - he's pulling back again 91% in and only 5000 behind........

LadyG the projection is for McCain to take SD - that puts them at 207 to 143.

We're moving through the 'red' states now, but they largely have small electoral college votes.

Will I Am via hologram? It's like a weird dream on CNN!

33% of results in in Colarado now - Obama still leading 56%

8 1/2 mins to go apparently... probably. Eee!
