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..

hope SuperBunny's DS did get fed up and make her come home (I'm guessing not as she hasn't posted) so she'll probably be there in the crowd.

Oh the buzz must be amazing, and not just to have that many people vote you as President, but the first black President.

Wow - they're showing scenes in Kenya and there's a HUGE party going on.

How sad that his Grandmother who raised him didn't live to see this historic moment though

Just checking in on my way to bed. That was well worth staying up for - even though I'll be shattered in the morning.

Oh don't mention his grandmother - I'll get snot on my pillow. What a roller coaster of a week that man has had.

I seriously did not think America had it in it to do this. I am bawling, and that isn't me.

that's true - there's not just parties across the world - I bet she's organised a huge shin dig up in Heaven too

YEAH THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!!!!

lol @ the chairs being lifted in Kenya!

night sally

I'm going to stay up a bit longer and watch some more of the actual figures come in

Night night SallyS x

Am tempted to stay up for Alaska... besides, that'll be DS1s breakfast time anyway!

oooh hooooo 306!

I had better go to bed too - busy day tomorrow (today)

And my feet are freezing - I need to move!

Oh no - Jesse Jackson is crying his eyes out too.

John McCain is conceding. I feel quite sorry for him now.

He seems like he is going to cry...

Obama
08
Oh yeah!

yes he very conceding, he's not having any of the jeering about things he says that some in the crowd don't like the sound of (like the idea of supporting Obama lol)

Actually a very dignified speech (McCain)

WhatSheSaid - I agree - ok someone else wrote it for him , but it was said with sincerity (imo).

Oooo - Obama coming up next apparently!!!

oh I have just woken up to an obama victory!

yay yay yay!

Lots of respect to him for keeping the jeering at bay. I doubt if Palin would have done the same. It was so funny how they only showed her from behind until the very end of the speech.

And am very at Jesse Jackson crying. He's been caught out twice saying bad things about Obama when he thought his microphone was off.

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I agree, great speech from McCain, shame on the bad losers in the crowd. But where is Obama? Can't wait to see him.

Sitting here in strongly Republican Oklahoma and couldn't believe it could end well until it actually happened.

SuperBunny - did you go???
