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..

This is all very confusing!
BBC say McCain gets South Carolina, NY Times website is showing that Obama has 57% of the votes counted in that state!

Am feckin starving too, and cant comfort eat as on diet

[drinks a lot]

Does anyone else think that Justin Webb is a BIG FAT REPUBLICAN?

Ok, I HAVE to break my computer to stop looking.

Monkeysmomma--McCain is the son of a famous admiral, and went into I forgot what branch of the armed forces, in which he distinguished himself by coming 4th from last in a class close to 900, and crashing an amazing 3 airplanes. In one of those plane crashes, he injured himself so badly, he really messed up his arms, and has very limited range of motion, and is unable to lift them very high, which explains his odd stance.

Iraq might not be too much of an issue. The UN mandate expires the 1st of next year, and the government in Iraq is pushing hard to get the US out of there by 2011. With the mandate expiring, Iraq has a bit of leverage, since it is the only thing that "allows" the US to be there without the rest of the UN coming down on them, since Iraq never gave the US permission to come and invade their country, for some reason.
