The Offical TIF American Elections thread

Obama is the projected president elect according to CNN. :

[Utopianflame]

West coast closed, predicted call for Obama (no surprise there) also Virginia now called for Obama. Game set and match. Congratulations Senator.

[Orpheus]

All the polls have closed apparently, about a minute ago. Time to count, and if Obama wins California, it's automatically over, since McCain will not be able to get enough votes.

 

 

 

Angryjoe, that's a projection, don't hold your breath yet.

[baalboy5]

Obama won

 

woot

[Ginger_Warrior]

It's been worth staying up for.

[Kaphias]

Looks like he did it. :D

[Numberkills]

Congratulations Senator Obama!

 

 

 

[Orpheus]

CNN just pinged out 293 for Obama, it's over. Only thing left to wait for is the demand for a recount.

[Oy_the_Great]

Yep, 297 vs. 145 electoral votes: Obama will lead the US into a new age : :thumbup:

[hellbellz]

And Obama wins it!

[baalboy5]

Obama 08! :thumbsup:

[angryjoe]

It's been worth staying up for.

 

Indeed. :D

[misterxman]

History has been made. Good job Obama :)

[Saru Inc]

I laugh at this.

 

 

 

To be fair, congratulations!

 

 

 

We're [bleep]ed.

[RSBDavid]

damn.. Oh well... Good fight McCain.

[Oy_the_Great]

It's been worth staying up for.

 

Indeed. :D

 

 

 

It's 5 AM here, but this moment is just as glorious as the 9/11 moment and all its following tragedies was a horrible one.

That's good for you. I hope some day you'll find a spark of light somewhere in the cavity of your heart sometime and not loathe everything that isn't going your way.

[Lady_Shahdie]

This is a beautiful moment in American history.

 

 

 

I am speechless.

[Dizzle229]

It'll be great to look back on this and say "I was there when we got our first African American president." :P

[ThurinEthir]

Awesome.

 

Police cars are racing around outside. Go figure. Massachusetts, all blue state. \

 

Edit: Oh wait, what about Alaska and those CRUCIAL 3 electoral votes? :lol:

[Ginger_Warrior]

Just seeing what it means to some of those people in that all-black college, given that some of them were born into a time where to cast a vote as a black man as to effectively surrender your own life. It's truly heart-warming.

 

 

 

Not even MLK could surely have imagined this.

[Numberkills]

As lots of people around here have been saying;

 

 

 

"From working on the plantation to running the nation; Obama 08!"

 

 

 

 

 

Goodnight. GF McCain (297>146)

I certainly hope your English is bad, or did I just hear you say that the murder of thousands of innocent people by those cold blooded, psychotic, murdering bastard fanatics was a glorious moment in history?

He is saying that Obama being prez is just as bad as those events.

 

Bad way of wording it though.

That moment was as horrible as this one is glorious. Opposite extremes.
