Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
Kentucky going to McCain...
Obama opens a small lead in early returns in Indiana....
8 more states start reporting in one minute....
Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody,

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
MSNBC sez, heavy coverage of Rev Wright ads bashing Obama have *backfired* in Pennsylvania, resulting in an *increased* African-American turnout....
National exit polls say that the vast majority of those who think Iraq is the number one issue go for Obama....
CNN: Kentucky called for McCain, Vermont for Obama.
I hope I'm not doing this alone: join in folks!

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
Okay geeks: Turn to CNN! They've got a "Princess Leia hologram" of reporter Jessica Yellin standing in front of Wolf Blitzer from 1000 miles away....
Even cable news has to go all Hollywood....
No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won't come true because they don't even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don't get nations moving again,

Re: 2008 US Election Live Blog!
For those of you with a superstitious bent, the election is over because of the Washington Redskins Curse: If the Redskins lose their last home game before the election, then the incumbent party is thrown out.
The Pittsburgh (Pensylvania, 21 Electoral votes and essential to a McCain win) Steelers demolished them last night on Monday Night Football....
It's nice to see a Democrat blow something besides an election,

Those ads are running here in Vancouver USA. The word HATE up big in front. (Paid for by a Repub PAC.) I'm on broadcast TV and all stations are just across the Columbia River in Portland Oregon. Over in Portland the Dems have rented a hall expecting 9,000, and the Repubs a hall expecting 1,000.
I took a nap this afternoon to brace up for the enduro. 
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security. ?

Speaking of live blogging, why did the hypo chat function get dropped?
