The Last Last Election Thread

[Agathon]

The BBC broadcast is hilarious. Snide comments about US electoral incompetence and subtle knives out for the repugs. They even have John Bolton on as a sort of clown –- he's nearly lost it a couple of times and accused the BBC of biased interviewing, to which the anchor just harrumphed.

Oregon's polls haven't closed yet, but Jeff Merkley is likely to give the Democrats a pickup. However, this race is too close to call until some actual results are seen.

No it isn't. Merkley opened up a 7-8 point lead over Smith in the end. This one will be called fairly quickly.

He's trying to argue with Simon Schama now, and he's getting raped. You should see Schama's expression when Bolton opens his mouth.... withering...

Don't count your chickens, or else Guynemer will go postal and try to shoot you. It's an age-old aphorism.

Sure it's not close, but it's the second closest Senate/Presidential race we have to watch right now. What a boring ****ing election.

Don't ask me how Landrieu is doing this poorly. She was supposed to retain this seat easily.

OK, so that's another seat that's in play.

Murtha is re-elected in PA. The GOP couldn't beat a guy who called his own constituents racists.

Murtha just called his race for himself and is speaking now.

The only way McCain can win now is to win California...

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

Yes, Mathematically Impossible!

Yeah, fat chance of that one.

It seems McCain did try one last dirty trick by robocalling Cubans in Florida claiming that Fidel Castro officially endorsed Obama saying that Obama was a communist. Dumb but a desperate act from a desperate campaign.

So 8 years ago, the leaving Clinton staff played a joke on the incomming Bush staff by removeing all the W's from all the Keyboards in the White House.

So... I think that the Bush staff should leave the place with little cotton balls all over the Oval office.

Associated Press Reporter: "President Obama, what was your first act as President of the United States?"

President Obama: "I picked cotton."

I'm not sure if that is offensive or not, but it is funny.

God, the ones on the Ohio river, or do they have casinos in Indiana that are semi-convenient to you?
