The Voting Experience: Comment as the Returns Come In...Post Election Commentary...
I wonder if he uses the short term or long term Viagra. I wonder if he likes to stay ready over the course of the weekend or just get it over with in a defined window.
Why can't I remember if Gerald Ford is still alive?
Anyone...?
I remember he wasn't doing so well at the 2004 Republican convention...

Didn't he break his hip or leg or whatever? I remember because after all those years of people making fun of him for being clumsy he actually fell and broke something. I'm not sure if people knew how to react.
Ford died. Didn't he? I'm almost sure of it. Yes.
Okay, yeah. I just checked. Ford died in 2006. Why do I have no memory of it?
He died right after Christmas. I'm assuming I was both hungover and returning gifts so I missed the news.
Ohio has gone Obama! Yahooooooooo!
MSNBC: "No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio."
CNN hasn't called Ohio yet, but they just called West Virginia for McCain.CNN just switched to Hank Williams, Jr. playing at McCain's rally. Heh.
CNN is predicting a "big projection" after the commercial. Ten bucks it's Ohio.
Check to see if they're weeping and holding each other at Fox yet.
I remember when Ford died. There was lots of discussion amongst us old geezers about how he was, in hindsight, under appreciated - a pretty good Pres in bringing the nation together.
I'm pretty sure Texas is going red... a pretty big 34 vote bump... chillin' with ABC. I'm probably partial to Stephanopolous being on there. A lone liberal voice amongst a bunch of conservatives. Not that they let on too much, of course. Plus that George Will is usually pretty entertaining.
I'm checking...who is the main guy on Fox? He's like my dad's friends back in 1974. And he's not happy.
Do you mean Brit Hume? I'm not switching over to look.
The old guy with grey hair, Dave. He's very glum.Here comes CNN...they pulled back and didn't project Ohio yet...
Revised prediction:Obama 298
McCain 240
I didn't think Obama would carry Ohio.
It's like an Ibsen play over at FoxNews. They need some nose candy or something to get through this.
Even Pat Buchanan was on MSNBC earlier conceding that the Republican party is "no longer in touch with the American people." (I don't know if I agree. It probably has a lot to do with the economy, but I don't care how the hell Obama gets in, just -- please -- let him win!)
It will be pretty miraculous if racist country like the U.S. elects a black president.

They had a McCain spokesperson on Fox...she pretty much conceded...she said, "If it was anyone else but McCain in this race it would have been much worse" or something like that...
"It's like an Ibsen play over at FoxNews. They need some nose candy or something to get through this. "David - you're on a roll tonight!
I know. Even the Republicans -- who should be cheerleading until the ship goes down -- sound so pessimistic. I almost want to tell them, "Chin up {you punk-ass bitches}."
Ooh, a little bitterness on Fox...some other old guy (this one with glasses, way on the left) is saying things like "Obama says he's going to bring the country together, but the Democrats in the house and senate sure haven't..."CNN finally projected Ohio...
Thanks, Lori. I'm an eensy weensy bit tipsy. This is too much suspense for me... I want Chris Matthews to hold me like a mewling infant... and tell me it's gonna be all right...
I want Robin Meade to slide on the CNN studio floor tomorrow and rip off her shirt like that soccer player did a couple years ago...
I don't know who that is, RA, but I'm guessing you think she's hot...?
I hope Lester Holt doesn't rip off his shirt. (The man is an emotionless robot.)

Lester Holt...now he brings back Chicago memories.Maybe Walter Jacobson will give him a reach-around.
Is anyone else disturbed by David Gregory's hair? The cut is too young for him. Something you'd expect on a fourteen-year-old skateboarder circa 1995... except for all the gray, of course.
ABC gives TX to McCain. :(
No big surprise there.*crosses fingers for FL*
They could've given Texas to McCain last year, couldn't they have?
I wish they'd quit cutting to those yelling yahoos in Grant Park in Chicago. What's the point of that really?

Well, RA, maybe the Florida returns will be the necessary stimulus for Robin...
MSNBC said there were voting problems in Palm Beach, I think. The ballot was really weird. It had two boxes and you needed to fill in the space between them. WHY the hell would they do that to those old people? They can barely make it to the crapper, for Chrissake, and you make the ballot a Mensa test?

and the nuts in Times Square....ugh. I'm glad I'm on my couch.
I think we can probably expect some gains from pepaw over the next few announcements... And yes, I think he's had Texas since he tried this in 2000.
Can you imagine the scene with a bunch of confused elderly people complaining about the ballots?shudders
Florida is sleeping, Koe. It went to the early bird special, took its medicine, and was in bed by eight.
They say W.'s approval rating is 28%. Pathetic. I think Nixon had better approval ratings when he was strangling Cambodian babies with his bare hands.
It's weird. They're predicting that Eisenhower is picking up 18% of the Florida vote.
Poor little old people. I can tell you that my grannie wouldn't have stood for any of that. She'd be all, "What's with this f'in ballot?"
Karl Rove is on Fox! Why isn't that fucker in prison? What a fucking greasy, smarmy scumbag.
Yeah, earlier on NBC the new guy just wrote "Bush Bush Bush" all over the screen saying that the Republican party has no one to blame for this loss (if it turns that way) but W.
DAVID - STOP! You are killing me. My husband just picked me up from the floor.
I think Florida is just an attention whore. They make their ballots confusing so that their returns come in last... In 2012, their ballot will be a Rubik's Cube.
Who's that book of virtues guy? He's on CNN. He's a fuckhead too.
