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..

for those that were wondering about the Gay Marriage debate here

nothing there yet as they're still voting though

Has anyone else noticed something funny about McCain's arms? He stands and moves like a robot.

ach, I love democracy, it's so exciting. But i am knackered... bed.. election..bed..election..

I can't believe people would actually vote in favour of taking away civil rights from gay people.

But then I also can't understand why people would vote Republican.

I like Moustache Pollster Man on the BBC. He is saying comforting things.

Yes DH is listening in the armchair next to me. I've had to turn the TV up to drown out his snores . I'm going to put radio 4 on upstairs -the digital display will show anything significant.

Why are all the chaps on BBC1's coverage so hideously ugly. It's like they called 'rent-a-dodgy-tash' agency and asked for six of their finest!

Hanging on for West Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina

PW - do you mean the American psephologist sitting next to matt Frei?
I think he;s very good - best psephologist BBc have had

It's a portishead lyric too. They pinched it I think.

Yes that's the one FL.

Oh fuck McCain's got another one

Sorry for thread hijack, but why not all listen to some classic trip hop whilst chewing nails. lol.

WMMC - what do you mean? Has another state been called?

West Virginia gone to McCain (expected apparently)

Got to go to bed - good night all

That's the lyric I was thinking of. Sour Times, I think.

I don't like Matt Frei, though, Have an irrational need to throw things at him. Always seems so sneery smug...

whomoved- what channel are you watching? Is BBC really crap coverage cos it still says 8 and 3. Need to catch up as dd got up and is now asleep on settee.

I actually do care about this election to an unreasonable degree.

It's setting us up for a big change here in the UK I think.

Hurrah - Simon Cowell for prime minister

Whomoved - where?

Where did you see that WMMC CNN havent anything for W. Virginia yet

Fox. And BBC1 (screen in screen telly - confusing but fun).

Matt Frei's good in what he says. he just needs to loosen up a bit - undo the buttons of his suit like Dimbleby

CNN still saying 8-3 Mccain-Obama

Oh shit yes, FOx is saying McCain 13, Obama 3

Of course if it's a state McCain was expected to win anyway...is it?

So are the 8/3 showing on BBC just what they are guessing or actual votes?
