O-174

O - 163
M - 81
All O needs is 220. Cali is in the bag and is worth 50 but itself. So, once he hits 220, it's over.

Haha funny story that relates to something you guys have talked about some the past few weeks ive noticed. And this is not directed at rep or dem, it would be just as funny is he voted rep
I got a late call at work that I had a piece of equipment down and they needed a pin, so I took it to them. We were sitting around in the mine office and they were talking about voting of course and all that, and this one really stupid looking grunt worker said something like yeah dudes, I voted today, i voted a straight democrat ticket, then had some stupid lookin grin on his face like "Hurr, I win!". So Harold (shift fire boss) said, Kelly, do you even know what any of those people stand for? Dumbass then didnt say a word, just kept the dumb look on his face like, hurr, sure i know, but I really dont. So I said, name ONE person on the list and name ONE of their views you agree with. So he sat there a second then said one of the most hilarious things Ive ever heard. He shrugged and said "I believe in democraticism". What the fuck is democratisism? One of those times you just want to ask what does it feel like to be so stupid?

Yeah, it's like that all over the place. People are fucking idiots in general. We need rules for voting, seriously.
1. You can't vote unless you pay taxes.
2. You can't vote unless you can present a photo ID to prove who you fucking are.
3. You can't vote if you can answer a few questions like "Who's the current Secretary of State?"
On top of that we need mandatory federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison terms for people found guilty of voter fraud and or manipulation.
I don't mind people voting for Obama who have educated themselves about his voting record, know what he stands for and identify with his ideals. I don't mind people who vote for McCain for the same reasons. It's the fucktards that vote for Obama just because he's black, or vote for McCain just because he's a Republican that annoy the hell out of me. People like that and people who think "the US won its independence at the end of WWII" - should not be allowed to vote.
And, please don't give me this shit about "right to vote" - there is no such thing.

Ok I think it's safe to say it's over now.
Obama got Ohio so he now has 183. McCain has 83.
With Cali he has 230 total (without counting the rest that we know he has).
End of the line for McOld.
My guy didn't get ANY...

Diekan what station are you watching? I'm looking at CNN and they are being very conservative in their counting (which I prefer) they haven't counted Ohio yet. How do you guys like all of CNN's high tech stuff? I think it's so great where technology has gotten to. When they beamed that chick in I have to admit I got the ultimate geek grin. It was just so damn cool.

Yes, but Obama has California in the bag... it is worth 55 alone. All he needs *realistically* from the rest of the country is 215. He's already got 183 according to Fox.
He's got it won, hands down.

Oh man Diekan, Fox? I don't even watch MSNBC. Both of those stations are so biased it's not even funny. Convert to CNN! They are the best, plus they have neat toys.

Yes, but McCain is their man. If they really believed he won Ohio they'd have posted it. The very fact that have Obama winning Ohio tells me he probably did.

This is very ccc...
McCain didn't get ANY state with any large cities & civilization... So far he has... Atlanta. And, a whole shitload of bumbfuck states. Way to go

.
And... Stop with the stories of dumbass voters voting straight ticket without any reason... it happens on both sides. I pretty much listen to and watch the BBC exclusively and I hear the same type of embarrassing comments from both sides of the line.

So, pretty much... if you take away the redneck vote, the whole nation voted for Obama.
And I'm sure if you took away the biased African-American vote, which surely was CRITICAL for getting states as Maine, Florida and Pennsylvania, McCain would be TROUNCING Obama right now

.
very

election

hey, read the beginning of the story vonkasshole, it says "it would be funny either way he voted" or something like that. That story just happened to be about a dem! Would have been just as dumb if he was a rep! Gah! Unless you are referring to someone else ><

This really is George Bush's fault.
If he didn't fuck this country up as badly as he did we have just elected a Nazi into to the White House. Man we're fucked and most of you don't even see it coming.

What's really fucked up though is how just a handfull of states decide the presidency.
Gore got fucked over by it and now McCain is out because of it. Maybe we need a new system?
