I bloody love elections. I'd sit and watch the Zambian local elections if I knew anything about the parties involved.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Im hooked on Sky News right now just waiting for results to come in.
Who whoever did a poll that had Carter up ten points is a fecking moron, who did he sample registered Democrats.
"Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" it was over after Reagan said that in a debate
This election was as good as over weeks ago.
Obama's taken 67% of the vote so far according to the beeb. Although that is just 32-16. Probably a few more votes to come.
Still 39 minutes my friend, 7 eastern is the earliest releases. They arent the results either that just when the polls close
Watching a documentary on Norwegian television now.
McCain looked OLD in the 80s.

Is it the one where several of his followers when asked why they didn`t vote for Obama answered with stuff like:
"I think he is a terrorist"
"His middle name is Hussein, I have a problem with that"
"I`m not saying he is a terrorist, but there is a good chance". ?
That stuff scared me a bit.
They aired it on sunday I think, haven't seen all of it.

Florida to Obama
Florida to Obama
Cannot wait to see how Pennsylvania rolls out
I just want to say one thing.
I am scared.
I am scared of going to sleep.
Going to sleep means I may have to wake up to a world where Sarah Palin is just a heartbeat away from being the most powerful person on Earth.
Yes I may be being a tad overdramatic

10 minutes until the first 6 states close their polls.
I find it amazing that a Black man in the US even has a chance of being President, particularly when you consider the treatment of blacks barely 50 years ago.
I think a black man being elected President 40 years after the assassination of Martin Luther King would be a fitting tribute to the work he did, and the changes he made.

Yes it would
And hopefully it will herald a time where we don't bother to even consider the colour of skin in our analysis. One of the refreshing things about Hamiltons triumph in F1 is how few people have even mentioned he's the first black World Champion. A real sign of progress, it's just not a talking point
Amen to that Bradley.
McCain projected to win Kentucky, 8 electoral votes, Obama projected for Kentucky, 3 electoral votes.
Obama has Vermont, McCain Kentucky. No surprise.
No projection in Virginia.
No projection in Virginia.
Kentucky is McCains
Do they give projections of how close the states are?
2,000 people schmoozing it up down aqt the US Embassy in London tonight, Hazel Blears sounds like she may have had a few [and came across better for it actually lol]. All those British MPs shamelessly flocking to the head of Democrats Abroad in a few hours time eh.
Are these exit polls, or official results? Exit polls are not always reliable.
Exit polls I believe.
Yes.
These percentages are quite similar to our caf poll, and there are very few black students in Santa Barbara.
I guessed so, but wanted to be sure.
I have read somewhere that exit polls systematically favored Democrats in the past four elections. So take them with a pinch of salt if they are fairly close.
(In any case, I am still confident that Obama will win.)
That's what the BBC are saying. Apparently Republicans are more secretive about their voting.
Theyre ashamed of themselves. Even they know their party is crap.
I was agreeing with you, maybe I should have worded it betterEr, that's what i was saying mate!
You don't have sarcasm over there?
Bloody hell, looks like McCain might take Virginia AND Florida.
75% turnout.
I assume you're basing that Florida result on the numbers the BBC are showing, which are based on less than 100k votes. Give it time.
One of the networks has called the senate race in Virginia in favour of the Democrats. No idea if this implies any direct correlation to the presidential race mind.
CNN. Yes, it's only a small percentage of the votes, but it's a pretty big margin so far regardless, especially when you consider the fact Obama had been tipped to win Virginia.
Less than 1% of the vote has been counted in those states.
Nothing to call for West Virginia.
Scrap that. Going by the way the percentage are changing every few seconds, it IS too early to tell.
Itd be nice if a couple of Republican strongholds went blue in the next hour so I could go to bed confident things are going according to plan. Until I get some assurance I am going to find it difficult to turn this off.
The networks are being very careful by the looks of it.
