Obama just won

[Noir Resurection]

Obama just won the election . I guess things are going to change. Anybody thing otherwise.

Score was
Obama -333
Macain - 146

Well things are definitely going to change now that Democrats are back in office. For better or worse, it's too soon to tell.

At least Floridans have learned how to count this time (no offense meant there to any Florida Geezers)  

[charamath]

Once again, popular vote doesn't count. Oh yeah, thing's change- our country will become the next France. Prepare to bend over!

Good thing though- next election will definitly go red.

Either way who ever won we were still screwed .... The only thing that counts is that Bush is out of office. Who know how things will go now.

Either way I rather have Obama because of the fact that he chose Biden. If Macain would of have won and something would of have happen to Macain while he was president. Just imagine that macain falls and Pailen is left to run office while we are at war. We would defiantly bend over right there. She has no real experience to be in office, and im sorry but she is just such an air head.

Palin just makes me giggle. Her whole campaign for abstinence was so thrown in her face with her daughter giving birth. xd

I'm an election judge in Colorado. It's clear that Obama is very LIKELY to win, but we still have a long way to go before that's a certainty.

I mean, I voted for him, so I certainly hope he wins, but we can't say for certain until Wednesday or Thursday. You wouldn't beleive how many provisional ballots we got (which are counted later than any other ballot in Colorado.)

So, yay! I'm hoping Obama is winning.
But I'm not counting my victories before they've... viccied.

And, think of it this way: maybe we were screwed because of our perspective. Maybe having another young buck president will give us a little zest, especially one with a really cool name.

I didn't see one interview of Palin where they didn't purposely try to make her look like an idiot. Maybe if the questions had been on actual politics and not 'Would you like your own talk show?' people would have been surprised.

Barack Hussien Obama= cool?! You haven't named any small children l hope. I always thought his name reminded me of a bad health food breakfast. He could totally be named 'Kashi'

I've heard this news. I am not political, so I am not sure what Barak will do as president, but as many agree, Bush finally out of office was one of the better things that came out of it.

rolleyes Well Nobama will try to institute socialism into our society (spreading the wealth for those of you who earn $120,000 or more a year.) While in theory it seems great, in practice it leads to socioeconomic ruin. (Hitler with Germany and Stalin with Russia...I could go on.) Be very afraid twisted  

[Lycangoddess]

I followed both sides closely. I don't just vote with one party in particular, I try to go with who I think would be better in office with the current political and social situations.

I am happy Obama won. Even with some of my friends txting me really BAAAD jokes about the election ("News reports in, they are changing the national bird from the bald eagle to the fried chicken" BAD TASTE PEOPLE!!!) I feel like I was finally represented well by a candidate. And note I say candidate. For me the fact he is black had nothing to do with why I voted for him.  

[blubombay]

im like this if you have a problem with how america is gonna be ran and you cant handle change then be my guest and move to another country
you all that are sore losers need to just wake up and smell the coffee its no need to argue over the fact the better canidate won not because he was black but because he was the better candidate
the respect that america lost over the past yrs has been gained back in one night
they kept saying how it was the land of the free(as in free opportunity) and home of the brave but for the past 220 yrs it hasnt been and now as we goin in to our 221st yr america can honestly say it is home of the free
you all don't understand how the opportunity have shined a light on the youth of america letting them know that its okay to strive for success and not just settle for less
this example of change is gonna make differences all over the world
i tell you it wasnt because he was black it was because it was time for a change if he was spanish asian or white i still wouldve voted for him mccain wanted to keep us in the same s**t hole that we have been in for yrs and people who stay in the small states that live for farming obama has just saved your lives cause mccain was doing away with all that

im sorry that you are unhappy but now yall see how it felt when bush was elected

What do you call bailing out all the banks? Now THAT's socialism! or is it Communism? I forget.

The stuff Obama's proposing is common Democratic values, investing in repairing & modernizing the country's infrastructure so our children will have a chance at the same success our parents got from it. The rich of our generation did not create their wealth from scratch; they built upon what the infrastructure provided, and now it's time to give some back so others can succeed as well.

This is almost identical to what Clinton, Edwards, et all were proposing, as well. Obama is not particularly liberal, leftist, or socialist... he's a Democrat of the central sort.

I was watching a show where they showed that only aprox. 8% of black people did not vote for Obama. The white population voted more of an even split, I don't remember the exact total, but it was like about 65% voted for McCain. Hispanic votes were something like 75% to Obama.

If this election was not a racial election than the split would have been a lot closer regardless of race.

I am trying to find it online... so far no luck and I am tired...  

[Greysayer]

All i know is for the first time in our nation's history a person of ANY color can look at our president and say "That could be me someday." Now that's GOTTA be a good thing smile
