2. It's far from over yet
but even if Obama only wins by just one vote I'll still be happy! ;)

4. They are just unsure about Obama. After 4 years I think they will be ready to vote for him.

6. We were never going to win the south.
Fantasies of winning any of those states were just that - fantasies.

We are in good shape without them.

7. There was no way Obama was going to win the majority there
but remember Virginia and North Carolina haven't been called yet.

8. Let's count the votes shall we?
We know that we've kicked Liddy Dole's sorry ass to the curb in NC. That's a victory right there. It's not just the top of the ticket, it's the down-ticket too and the more Dems we can get elected to the Senate and the House the better and we're kicking ass so far.

9. Give it four years
A lot can happen in that time, and if he lives up the respectability and class that he has shown throughout the campaign, I think he could be the man to help beginning unify the US.

18. Good news though: getting late for McCain out there!
The majority of the southern shithole red states (sorry to our fellow libs living there - I certainly don't mean to tar you with that brush) seem to have called in and McCain stands at a pitiful 58 electoral votes. That's the most boost he'll see tonight. When the remaining states (e.g. states where the majority of the voters aren't dumb fucking bible thumping shitbirds) start coming in, it will be a sea of blue.

22. Huh?
Obama is still within reach of 350 EV. Enough of a landslide for me.
