Prop 8 is holding its margin. The coastal counties, which trend no, are still coming in and could close the gap, but they're running out of bodies.
They already do that.
And dalboz you can't exclude the electoral vote, unless you are being dishonest as all fuck.
KC Fox 4 fucked up a bunch of times as well, reading McCain's Kansas lead as his missouri stats by mistake, bad audio syncing of Obama's speech...
And he can't even go to the poll and vote for himself.
The deal there is he will win, then he will be kicked out, but if he wins then he will be replaced by another republican.
LBJ probably, Kennedy didn't win big at all against Nixon, it was close.
Yea, just looked it up, LBJ won a staggering 61% of the popular vote in 64, against Goldwater. This was the election of the infamous daisy add, btw.
At which point in a strong Republican state it made sense to vote for him.
Looked it up...counting back, you hit Nixon v. McGovern, with Nixon pulling like 60%. Then Johnson.
Nixon/McGovern, 60%
And it's even more fucking scary now! AHHHHHHH!
400 votes, but the only precinct left to report is Dunklin County, and that's red territory with about 1-1.2k votes left to count, I think.
Are there any absentee or military ballots involved here that have not been counted yet? Any chance of a recount? Electoral shenanigans?
It's neat, going back in the previous elections and watching the blue and red shift sides.
Is it selfish of me to spend more time mourning tonight than celebrating?
It's been a blast, though. I'm sad that these threads are coming to an end, but hopefully most of you here will stick around either in [chat] or other political topic threads.
We fucking did it guys. Congrats.
The country is changing and Alaska went ahead and kept all its principles. Stevens remains, Young remains, we probably haven't heard the last of Palin... oh, and Gravel's rock-in-the-lake ad will reain with us for years.
You guys are a freak state. Enjoy.
They said that if it was closer than .5% in minnesota it is a forced recount. If it is more one of the campagins can pay for the recount.
What? The Alaska Court system said he can vote.
He can't get replaced due to shenanigans with the last Governor. But there will be an emergency eleciton, and the rumor is, since Palin lost isn't going to be the VP, she'll use this opportunity and her 60% approval rating to win that Senate seat.
It might not matter; Mitch McConnell is on the record as saying that he is not welcome back. I have no idea what that means (maybe he'll just refuse to allow him to quorum with them?) but it was pretty strong language.
EDIT: Yeah that.
Christian County is still at 68% reported, and is currently sitting at 68/31 McCain. 25k votes counted so far.
I wouldn't consider any of those races called yet.
50.7% Bush 48.3% Kerry
Obama is at 52-47 according to MSNBC/CNN. This with ZA, OR, and WA still not even halfway through reporting. I would expect to see that margin go another point easy.

It'd be a special election, I'd assume between either Palin and Begich or her lieutenant governor and Begich. But I think Begich ends up taking this.
He can't vote if he is a convicted felon. They said he could vote?
I thought it was an appointment.
No.
Doesn't get him off the hook with the Senate ethics committee thingy or whatever.
That's down from 80%. And it's Alaska. And she is way too much of an idiot for the senate. There are far more qualified state senators and representatives. A Palin Senate seat would be an incredible waste.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahah, I know the feeling man. It's good seeing Clark County lit up blue.
EDIT- And seeing Titus on there too is a relief. She's a heinous professor, so getting her out of UNLV would be a blessing.
I knew I could go to sleep after that huge boost and I wake up and yay! That'll do America. That'll do.
From the state electing two felons... something tells me they wouldn't have a problem electing palin to senate.
Holy crap.

Downtown Atlanta was going wild, people honking their horn constantly in little five points.... even though our state didn't vote Obama we still rocked it pretty hard tonight.
We carried Omaha, and now the history books have to give Nebraska blue stripes.
