Went to both Starbucks in town.

So what? I wore jeans and a tshirt with a jean jacket.

And YOU are not the vice-presidential candidate, nor were there news crews lined up to take photos and video of YOU voting.

Thank God cuz I wasn't wearing any makeup.

I don't sweat the small stuff. If Obama wanted to wear jeans to cast his vote would you be upset? I could care less if he or the other canidates showed up in sweat pants and a sweat shirt.

You mean Sarah Palin is a normal person?

No, she's the Barracuda!!

Who's normal?

I was disappointed nobody took my picture when I voted. I wore a Boston College sweatshirt and jeans. They handed out soft drinks and candy bars wrapped in authentic looking replicas of million dollar bills with Rutherford B. Hayes on the note. The back had some passages from the Gospels. Gotta love the Baptists.

She may be too normal.

Hey Klyd, did you vote where they had people from the Black Panther Party trying to intimadate people?

MSNBC is calling PA for Obama already, based on exit polls.

At first it was 3 - 16 for McCain, right now CNN says 77 - 34 for Obama. Popular vote 52% - 47%. Looking good, although until now only 'logical' victories have been made (Illinois, SC, ...)

Are the polls now closed in all of the Northeast and MidAtlantic states??

Most, but not all are closed in the east.

Finally! Talk about a long day.

Well BHO projected to win PA and won Vermont and NH(?). So far so good. I am really curious to see Ohio, FL, VA. Did I miss anything else?



TIS

TIS, Where have you been??

Yeah, the boards were down for awhile. Apple and Double-J were seen pulling the plug on the server after hearing that Obama won in Pennsylvania.

Nothing about NY yet???

FL is looking good for Obama.

Obama has 60% in Ohio right now.

I hope Obama can pull off an upset in Indiana.

SB,

I worked today. I am taking tomorrow off. Glad I am cause I'll probably be up late.

Looking good for Obama. So far it seems like both are winning expected states. Well, some think PA was ify but I kind of thought it would be Obama. I'm really not seeing how McCain can win unless "maybe" he gets every single "toss-up" state and that's not gonna happen.

I wish I could be in Chicago right now....but then again I'd freeze my arse off wouldn't I?


TIS (just waiting to do the "dance of joy.")

It's about 60 degrees around here, so yeah!

I live an hour from downtown Chicago but there's no way I'd go in that mess. It'd be cool to be at Grant Park but I can't imagine trying to leave.

Doesn't look good right now. McCain has a lead and it looks like all stations are calling it too close to call now.

The polls are closing now. They'll have a pretty quick call soon.

That would be cool, to be there with him. I feel so bad that his grandmother didn't live long enough to see this. It must be so bittersweet for him.

100-174 in favor of Obama

NY is Obama

Arizona is too close to call. Obama also got Michigan and Wisconsin. Lot of too close to calls.





TIS

CNN is sayin 174-49 Obama

TIS, did you have anything to do with the Michigan win??

I heard she made some offers they couldn't refuse.
