I heard on KTLK radio. And of course, MN & AK have just completed their absentee and provisional ballot counts.

they may just give up, figuring it's already been decided...
But they still have five congressional seats & two senates up for grabs and they must count every one of those votes.

Well, that's not at all comforting.

9. I know everyone is jusy happy that Obama won |
|
But the fact that Palin wasn't completly rejected by voters, and the McCain/Palin ticket was the third or fourth highest voter number ever, is very worrying and not a good sign for the future.

11. There will always be Americans who think of themselves as 'conservatives' |
|
and vote what they believe is accordingly. Fact is, they don't even know what it is they are really voting for. Sarah is a conservative, yes, but she is also a corrupt, self-aggrandizing grifter. She fools a lot of people. But that doesn't mean they would vote for the real Sarah Palin if they only knew.

8. That's much closer to a 7% margin than a 6% margin, as originally quoted... |
|
Just makes it that much more clear that anyone who denies he has a mandate is full of it.

McCain got 48% and only lost by a few. I'd love to see it get close enough to round it up to 10 million votes and 54% when the final numbers come in. It's the highest percentage for a non incumbant since 1952.

Would a 9% lead be a mandate?
