Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[Father Demon]

The idea that racism is a one way street is laughable.

Agree, but you wouldn't know that if your only source of news and pop history was

I predict, and I'm really going out on a limb here, that the next four years will be decidedly centrist.  If Obama does that, and if the terrorists or other crazy ass group don't bring terror or a war to our shores, he will be re-elected in 12.  It's then, coupled with a Dem Congress and House (because things went so well), that the government will start succumbing to the urge to go insanely left. 

Give people enough power and popularity, and they will take too much power.  See: Republicans.

I think that prediction makes a whole hell of a lot of sense.

YES WE DID

[Cerevant]

CNN calls it for Obama.

Demon, 88% of blacks voted for Kerry in 2004. (per Wikipedia)

In 2000, it was 90% according to the Roper Cener.

[Father Demon]

Demon, 88% of blacks voted for Kerry in 2004.

See?  Not 90.



edit: OK, OK, I withdraw my point. 

[rjs246]

I actually think that Demon may be giving the Left too much credit for their self control. I think that a pendulum swing will come sooner than 2014, but that's also because I don't have any faith in them to understand what has happened tonight.

Can someone more politically savvy than I explain how a state can be called in any direction with 0% of the votes reported?

Americans everywhere should rejoice over this monumental occasion.  It's about farging time.

[Geowhizzer]

Historic moment for Obama. 

Now he's got 76 days to get prepared.  God be with him.

[Magical_Retard]

this goes out to the hot girl i met at the voting booth tonight! i lost her in the crowd afterward but anyway

YES WE DID!

[Geowhizzer]

Someone better check on IGY.  Between the Phils and Obama winning, it may be too much for him to take.

[shorebird]

Ya' know what, Republican or Democrat, this is truely a historic moment in American history. All Americans should be proud today.

No matter what, I will support Obama as an American.

[rjs246]

Nice vanilla speech by McCain and he threw his nominal support to Obama which was excellent.

His live crowd, on the other hand, should be launched into space.

[Magical_Retard]

good speech by mccain so far.

i wish the 2000 mccain was here
