Once you add in all those votes in California going 55-45 (or more) for Obama, that's going to move the total popular vote by a point or two for Obama. |

True...but at this point, that's a footnote.I had just gotten home...who is winning the popular vote? As for how history sees this, I see this ending up very tight as tight can be possibly, at Obama 272, McCain 266...and it will be about how Obama won it (running away with Karl Rove's playbook---aren't these things top secret?), and not about how McCain lost it, but fought hard to the end, although the loss for McCain/Palin could be traced back to Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy filing and Merrill Lynch's shotgun wedding to Bank of America, which made the economy the top issue. And the ending will be bittersweet, as Obama cannot celebrate. Madelyn Dunham would have been proud. |

However, at 206, those are likely footnotes. California, Oregon, and Washington will seal the deal.The deal has been sealed and was sealed an hour ago. You'd have to be ignorant (or a TV anchor) to think otherwise. There will be no contesting of results in any national news-worthy way. |

That may have been the ballgame for McCain-Palin.At this point, he would need almost every state west of the Mississippi to turn red to get back into this...trouble is that it would mean a big comeback in CA, OR, and WA (I don't see that happening.) |

Now, don't mess up these next four years President Obama.You said it right. I second that. I am just glad it's all over. And unlike the RABID leftists here, I can accept my new president. I am NOT some sort of "rightist" just because I supported McCain, after all, I (gasp) even voted for Clinton in 1996 (not 1992). The last few months have been HELL here, and I hope we can get back to normal here now. And after it appears OTCHAT was completely overtaken by "the food thread" on election day night, it shows that it will. Perhaps even Fred G will come back....haha. OTCHAT looks like a battleground that is finally quiet and recovering..... |
