Who's up following the US election on TV?

[rdubbs]

BTFB, I assume you're watching a particular British satellite channel.

The head of that channel went to school with Izzard. He gets wheeled out every election US or UK, for an 'alternative' view on matters.

200 v 90. I'm gonna get some kip. McCant better still be beat when I get up.

 

[marinyork]

McCain's all but lost. Sod projections, Indiana and Virginia will declare the actual results soon. He's clinging on for dear life in both states. With half votes counted it looks like an Obama victory in North Carolina and Florida. If any of those 4 declare then Obama has won.

Is that the fat lady I see? Bed for me.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I think McCain ought to win it. Just because of the oven chips.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

And that is it! Over 270... and still increasing. Obama is the President of the USA.

 

[Aperitif]

McCains had his chips.

 

[andygates]

Yay!

 

[marinyork]

That's only a projection. A projection of all states plus complete results from a state flipping is good enough for me. Virginia or Indiana may be about to get obama over the 270 .

Seventy days or so left for Dubya to invade the Congo, strafe Iran and generally leave a calling card wherever he fancies... Takes a long time for the 'changeover' it seems.
Good luck to B.O. anyway - with a Foreign Secretery like Hilary Clinton he will not go far wrong...

 

[marinyork]

Or to spend all the bail out money

 

[Aperitif]

Given their military 'bent', most Americans will not mind being confined to Barack's for a few years.
I await the first baby called Barack story to break...

 

[andygates]

Well there was a voter who went into labour while voting, was carted off to drop her sprog and came back later to cast her ballot. My money's on her!

 

[Fnaar]

I watched most of it ... dropped off to sleep about 2.30 till 4.00 ... good win for Obama... just a pity that Bob the Builder used that slogan first

 

[zimzum42]

All the fuss was on at a sensible time over here....

If China had elections, then maybe it could be argued that result would be more important
