Haha yeah just heard it too. And I heard McCain's public address where he was saying he congratulated Obama over the phone while the crowd of McCain-lovers booed.

Well, that sucks. Let's see how things will turn out now, Obama won't retreat military from Iraq, Afghanistan etc. , that's for sure.

Well either way, McCain is going to win, i just know it
Told ya
338 - votes - 115. That's a landslide just like I told ya.
Not only did he win the election but also they have the majority in the sentate now AND they will have gained up to 30 - 39 extra seats in the house of representatives. Perhaps now he can really change things and make America loved like it once.

338 to 160 electoral seats and 56 to 40 in the senate.

What exactly will obama change? And how?
And the 'first black president' hooray... Is there a bit of (reverse) racism at play? Maggie Thatcher was the first woman PM in Britain. And wow...how life got better for british women and the 'disenfranchised' in general under that one!
Everyone pretends to 'understand' that Bush II was just a puppet - then, who's pulling his strings? And won't the same strings fit a charismatic black man?
Also: Obama was so vehement about the fact that he WOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST THE IRAQ INVASION (mind you, he didn't and couldn't so 'wouldn't have' doesn't count
) - very dramatic in various documentaries against the war. But he's been all pro the illegal attacks on Pakistan and he's pro 'dealing with Iran'!!!
I see Obama and I think, 'Darn, Tony Blair won Pimp My Body'!
