Obama wins US election

So, who do you think is going to win? At the moment, it seems like Obama is winning at the moment. But you never know, John McCain could pull it off at the last second.

Also I've added a poll as well.

And Obama takes it... http://hosted.ap.org/specials/election_night_2008/election_map_basic/index.html?SITE=RIPRJ

There's still votes left to be tallied, but he has the majority.

I dunno, I still feel like the results are a bit shakey...
Especcially seeing as how several Obama states still have almost none of the precincts reporting...

They haven't typed the numbers up for the AP list yet, but the states themselves have reported which candidate won overall.

I was watching Fox News when Obama gave his speech. And it showed each state's percentage on who voted for Obama and who voted for McCain. And I didn't see either Alaska or Hawaii's vote thingy on there. How come?

Because they hadn't voted yet, due to the time difference...
Since Obama had gotten the 270 electoral votes needed, their votes count didn't matter...

Yup... Results are in now, though: Alaska won McCain and Hawaii won Obama.

Ah, figures...

Also, why is the poll giving me the finger? :(

Good on ya Obama.

I wonder if Obama would at least make it to 4 years?

You mean assassinated?

Yeah, i think he would have a high chance that he would get assassinated.

Young presidents do tent to get killed.

Plus what with all the racists after him.

locked.

Since we are all either mods or admins, doesn't locking a thread basicaly mean nothing?

posting in a locked thread for no reason is disobeying the rules. Your post or the thread will be deleted. A warning.

Antome, stop it. He was commenting, and it's not like it matters, anyway. I honestly don't know why you locked this in the first place, considering that he's right in that we could all post here anyway and it's not like it'd make a difference if it kept getting bumped. You are not person who makes and enforces the rules here: I am. I'll revoke your privledges if you keep this little power trip going.

And stop locking threads. They don't need it.

I think it's a huge relief that Obama won in the end...

Also, he is a very talented public speaker. And I mean, like... Very talented.

Now, can he save the world from the financial crisis and all the other problems facing the world... Tis a lot to ask of a young man.

I'm probably the only black guy in the world who doesn't like Obama. :superawesome:

I was so disappointed when this happened and I realised that I had no way to gloat. Thank you for this forum, Wraith. /smugness

Lol, wow, I'm sure all of the other admins on this board feel truly threatened by you.

On an aside: Our prime minister has just let the country down in a big way. The government target for CO2 reduction is a piffling 5% by 2020. We're doomed if Obama's colours aren't a little truer. -_-

Antome has let power tush to his head.

Unfortunately, this is 1984. And what you have done goes against the will of the Party.

THOUGHT POLICE! GET HIM!
