Quote from Lateralus :

Technically it's called the "United States of Mexico", but if someone says "Mexico", which nation do you think they're referring to?

Wait, I'll get this... No wait!

Oh and premature congratulations to Bollock O'Bummer. When does he get to move into the Black House?

Gosh I'm glad "Australia" is both the name of our nation and the name of our continent

Barry O, I knew you could do it. More to the point - I knew most intelligent Americans had had quite enough of a Whitehouse staffed by incompetent, greedy, lying ****wits and were starving to be led by someone with half a brain. The whole freaking planet was behind you Baz, now don't let us down.

Today's the day.

fivethirtyeight.com has their final predictions in. Looks like good news: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com ... s-and-final-election.html

F--- me, they havent got one wrong yet.
Still about 10 uncalled, but even those are unofficially looking to go the way they've got it.

Hopefully there wont be the same fiasco there was a few years back in Florida and it'll be done and dusted by the morning.

McCain is giving his concession speech now. As soon as he mentioned Obama's name, boos came from the crowd.

Pathetic simpleton bumble****s. Despicable.

Even if there is a debacle in one or more of the remaining states, Obama still has enough electoral votes.

It's done and dusted now. It's over.

Obama wins.

This is an excellent concession speech from McCain. I hope the people in the crowd are listening closely.

Go Back To Alaska Bitch

Yezzir he is presidito (Obama)

Some of them might be able to hear over the voice in the back of their heads chanting "OMG HATE BLACK PEOPLE! TURRISTS ARE GONNA KILL YO CHILLUNS!"

Some of them.

Okay, it was a bit long.. but it was worth hearing. That was a generous speech. I'd take it in the spirit it was given.

Yeah I agree, it was. The Republicans spend a lot of money to hire good speechwriters.

Was think exactly the same thing, very well written. But, he's not such a great orator is he, he tends to emphasize all the wrong words, reminds me of an old boring geography teacher.

However, i don't think he stood a chance from day 1. George Dubyah saw to that many many years ago. And besides the USA was in desperate need of change (even if it's only a perceived changed) Lets just hope Obama and his crew are able to sort out all the mess he's just inherited.

Whichever way you look at it, it's a momentous occasion. Although i'm sure he's not the first black president, always thought that was Morgan Freeman

Goddamn, feelin' good now.

The Stone Brewing's Smoked Porter was cracked upon the official announcement of Obama winning.

The vodka at the back of the shelf is calling.

Yeah, very nice speech by McCain and a glimpse at the candidate he should have been throughout the election. Too bad about the Republican establishment.

Quote from Blas89 :

And you're wrong too Chano, United States Of America, if It was United States then are you refering to México too? Remember that our country is called United Mexican States =O

STFU!

Quote from Hankstar :

chanoman, "America" is what most of the world (and most of America) calls "The United States of America" for short.

Try not to get personally offended by broad social trends, ok?

Well, but it's wrong, because america is the continet. Say U.S. or United States, it's easier...

America is also the country, and has always been. Not really a big deal, IMO.

Congrats on your new president, America

Congratulations and thank you, America.

Very unlike Gore Vidal, whom appears to be completely pissed out of his head

Ahh, now that doesn't make much sense since you just edited your post Hank

Pissing me off? huh

sam, only because you're a mod, i think. And you Hankstar because you can hide behind sam, because he did the same thing...

America is the continent. The country is United States of America. I think. And for me yes, it's a big deal.

Dont be stupid, that was a film!
It was David Palmer, and then his brother Wayne

Not far from a landslide now, I think it needs to get around 350 for it to be called a landslide and he is on 338. McCains concession speech was the best speech of his whole campaign. Hopefully Obama will do as he has promised, but even if he doesn't at least America has a president that has not only read a book, but written a few.

Not that it really means anything, but is this the first black president/PM/whatever from any first world nation?
