I just did :D

Haven't you been saying for months that McCain would win?

Yes, he did.

I didn't think he'd have the nerve to show his face in here. I guess he's more audacious than I thought. What do you say dmcoward? You gonna admit you were so wrong it hurts?

I said I would gladly say I was wrong on this one especially since I get to say

Sha Naa Naa Naa Hey Hey Hey Goodbye to the Republicans and their supporters like you

You won't be smiling so much when you find out what a huge fraud Obama is. He's probably praying right now that no one remembers all of the HUGE promises he made. Over $1 trillion in new spending, no new taxes for 95% of the population and he's going to pay for all of it.
Yup. You bought it. Hook, line and sinker. I"m surprised he didn't offer a virgin to every man in the US with all of his promises.

You can always move to Canada you know.

haha. Like all those Dems promised back in 2000? How'd that turn out, again? No, I love the USA. I can't stand morons who long to turn it into crap like Canada (no offense).

Flawless victory.

VA and NC look like they're going Obama, too.

He's running up the score.

Yes, victory for Obama, but far from flawless. 49% of Americans still wanted McCain for President. That's still something to be proud of.
Wait until the west coast takes a smelly dump on McCain's popular vote percentage.

I won't say she's the reason, but she sure didn't help. There were a lot of on-the-fence voters who looked at Palin and pulled the Obama handle, I am sure.

When you step back from being a partisan and look at the whole picture... conservatives/Republicans never really had anything to vote FOR. It was always voting against Obama. People are more energized to vote FOR something instead of against something.

That is never a winning strategy.

Not to defend Dave, but McCain's promises were the same plus tax breaks for the top 5% and he'd balance the budget in his 1st term.

Still, Dave should STFU.

I never said that McCain was any better. Both SUCK. If Obama wins, I'll be crushed. If McCain wins, I'll be crushed. Either way, I have no idea where we'll be in 4 years. This sucks. All of you people who are happy that your candidate is winning are idiots.

This is looking like an election that will be decided by a larger margin than were the last two elections.

On the Fox streaming strategery room they are already talking about the issues facing the Obama administration. They are saying President Obama, good times.

Should have happened 2000. GWB and his henchmen have done enormous damage. Last 8 years have been wasted.

What's happened in the last 2 years has been maybe the biggest repudiation of a party since the Democrats swept the Republicans in 1932 during the Great Depression.
By the end of tonite the Dems will have flipped something like 14 Senate seats, 60 or more house seats and took the Presidency.

The best thing that can happen for the Dems is if the Republicans don't treat whats happened as a landslide and continue on their present course.

we'll never really be able to say.

for all the moderates/independents who were turned off by Palin, how many more on the religious right / Bush's 20% Brigade would have stayed home if McCain had nominated a moderate? Palin might have saved a couple of the down-ticket races.

Me, a republican supporter? I don't think so, champ.

Aren't you from NZ?

Yes.

Well, I guess Obama's "Change" doesn't apply to Dave.

Himes beat Shays!

New England has finally purged all Republican Congressmen from their midst.

I hope Lieberman is next.

Murtha was re-elected, too ;)
