This is pretty exciting. I'm trying to watch both Fox and CNN to see how each side is reacting.
Obama ftw
His speech was really good. I kinda feel sorry for himQuote:

Yeah well watching on tv is one thing, I would much prefer that, seeing and more importantly hearing them outside is another.Quote:

It's time to watch Fox News cry.
I forgot that doesn't only happen in Chicago...I'm sure that's going on right now. Hmm, too bad I couldn't be there to go to the big rally.Quote:

Tonight is such an awful night to have a test to study for.
Wow, he won by quite a margin;he's like +182 electoral votes so far. That's pretty impressive.
Are you still watching that. He was just going on about Barack playing it safe in his campaign and planning out his speeches and talking about the tv time he had awhile ago and how scripted his campaign was and I'm like........What?Quote:

I'm still watching Fox and finding they're being pretty supportive.
CNN and Fox did a rundown of the Exit Polls. Surprise surprise, the older the voters were, the more they supported McCain. Also, apparently the only issue group McCain did better with was the group that listed "Terrorism" as their main issue. Funny.
What was really funny was the tax issue, considering how the republicans were preaching about Obama raising taxes, the whole Joe the plumber thing and all. Yet it seems the majority of people actually favored Obama's tax plan.

It's outrageous outside of my dorm right now.
This is why I don't vote:
Popular vote:
Obama: 52%
McCain: 47%
Electoral vote:
Obama: 349
McCain: 159
An electoral college system hasn't been used over here for as long as I've been able to vote, which is a good thing. I don't know how things looked back when it was used, but I guess more like that. Nowadays votes go straight to the candidate and so you know every vote counts.
Shame on you!Quote:
