    • Both of my parents voted for McCain today. I r a baby so i liek coodent.

    I had a mock election at school and the results from the school newspaper today were kinda appalling. For every grade level, Obama won the majority. Even the teachers voted and Obama dominated the polls. What bothers me is that I know way more Republican party students than Democrat party students.. No, it's not because I hang around people of my party. A person's character and ideas come before political affiliation the same way it comes before gender, race, orientation, etc. Eh, I know plenty of people, but I was still amazed. What the paper didn't bold print is that in reality, Obama had 55% to 65% of the votes..

    Ugh, it's so close, it's almost driving me nuts. I think both sides are getting crazy and sneaky. I'm glad it's ending soon since it's been thrown over my head again and again at school and on the news and even here.. :[ Before this election, I never even cared for politics. At first, I thought, "America is doomed no matter who wins" but I'll try to remain positive and support whoever wins tonight.

    I'm also annoyed by some people who primarily vote based on a candidate's race, gender, etc.. Look at their policies, ay caramba.

    Edit: Angela, a lot of us will be here, so I'm sure someone will post the results.. I'll be watching it.

    This is the first election I've followed, and I expect that goes the same for quite a few people as this is quite a historical event.

    • Obama will win, no doubt.
    He'll get the electoral votes by a landslide. I think the popular vote won't be too far off, though.
    Yay Obama! :>

    I live in Iceland, there is no election watch on TV:D, If I wanted results I would have to hear them on the news tomorrow,

    And I'm about to go to sleep in couple of hours, so I won't be following this thing trough:D, So I would love it if someone would post some election results, like results from each state, and things like that.

    It's quite interesting really, but in Britiain at least, the newspapers and news programmes definiatly show and talk about Obama much more than McCain (who I didn't know the name of until about a month ago). But perhaps it's just the newspapers I'm reading.

    Slightly random: Obama's slogan "yes we can" was poked fun of in Britiain because he this slogon is used by a children's TV programme called Bob the Builder XD "Can we fix it?" Yes we can!"

    Anyway, it'll be really interesting to see who wins. I actually can't wait to know!

    I would say that "can we fix it" is the slogan of Bob the builder, not "yes we can", I know I think Obama is more popular in Europe.

    • Well, I wasn't saying everyone is racist. I think people should vote for whoever they think should be president. Some people though have EVEN told me, "I'm not voting for Obama. He is an African American. Go McCain!". I tell them they're racist and I walk away, lol.

    I was just listing one reason why I am voting for him.
    Oh, I also have a fourth reason.

    4. I CANNOT STAND THAT PLAIN!

    It sounded wrong. I'm sorry I took it wrong.

    And btw Kerry was suppose to win by a landslide back in the last election but, it never happened. So don't go crying or celebrating until it's over. Things can change on a dime. This isn't biased. I just don't want people getting all worked up over something like polls and what the tv says.

    Can't wait to see who wins.

    I think it's over, unless Obama does something scandalous in the next few hours.

    I cast my vote early this morning (shortly after 7AM when the polls opened). There was already a long line of voters. I heard the turnout could be 85% of all registered voters!

    Here's how I voted on my ballot (to the best I can remember, not all entries listed):
    Spoiler:

    I expect Obama to win in a landslide-maybe by 75% or more in Michigan-especially if Republican voters stay home (knowing that McCain will be wiped badly)*.

    *In the Michigan Gubernatorial election of 1990, many Democratic voters stayed home on election day, expecting that then-incumbent Governor James Blanchard would win easily. However, this backfired on them, and Republican challenger John Engler was elected.

    Thats so stupid... They should have all states have an equal amount of points or something, not because of the size of the states.
