1. wooo!

i wonder what state is still counting at this point.........

[Tribetime]

3. all I know it keeps changing

16. MO just made their final vote tallies official today, at least that's what

I heard on KTLK radio. And of course, MN & AK have just completed their absentee and provisional ballot counts.

2. Still many absentee, provisional & overseas ballots yet to be counted all over the country. However,

they may just give up, figuring it's already been decided...

But they still have five congressional seats & two senates up for grabs and they must count every one of those votes.

6. Is it not required that they be counted no matter what?

4. Obama got more votes than anybody who has ever run for president.

19. really, is that true? Or are you just joking?

lol

5. 58,421,377 were willing to have Palin as president

Well, that's not at all comforting.

[tblue]

7. Gag me.

[galaxy21]

9. I know everyone is jusy happy that Obama won

But the fact that Palin wasn't completly rejected by voters, and the McCain/Palin ticket was the third or fourth highest voter number ever, is very worrying and not a good sign for the future.

11. There will always be Americans who think of themselves as 'conservatives'

and vote what they believe is accordingly. Fact is, they don't even know what it is they are really voting for. Sarah is a conservative, yes, but she is also a corrupt, self-aggrandizing grifter. She fools a lot of people. But that doesn't mean they would vote for the real Sarah Palin if they only knew.

12. 58,421,377 people who don't understand

13. Dumbfuckistan.

I'm sorry. Couldn't resist. Yes. It's sad, sad, sad, sad, sad.

14. Transplants?

might be the only way?

[cliffordu]

15. Spay and neuter....

[tblue]

21. LOL! Ban Republican marriage!!!

[Youphemism]

8. That's much closer to a 7% margin than a 6% margin, as originally quoted...

Just makes it that much more clear that anyone who denies he has a mandate is full of it.

10. I know, I heard Scarborough say just last week

McCain got 48% and only lost by a few. I'd love to see it get close enough to round it up to 10 million votes and 54% when the final numbers come in. It's the highest percentage for a non incumbant since 1952.

17. Just curious, what is the margin currently?

[Tribetime]

18. 53-46 ..... 53.4% ...almost 54%

[Tiggeroshii]

20. Sweeet....

Would a 9% lead be a mandate?

22. Thank you!
