I am calling it for Obama (merged)

Zachstar · 11-04-08, 08:10 PM

According to ABC and MSNBC Obama has won PA. A MUST WIN state for McCain to reach the magic number!

I want to be the first on Subsim to call it!

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

Don't get me started on CBS.

I MISS MY RATHERISMS!!!!

Seems foolishly pre-emptive to call the election based on unconfirmed returns from a single state. Stranger things have happened, Dewey. Let us continue to watch and wait.

Maybe but the fact is PA was the lynchpin that could have enabled an upset.

It is like taking the safety off. There is no way McCain can effectively launch now.

To win at this point requires him to win both FL and OH and get upsets of epic proportions in the west.

Possible? Yes but extremely unlikely.

I'm almost certain that he'll take Illinois and Ohio. Flordia might lean to McCain, but without Ohio... he's got problems.

Zachstar · 11-04-08, 08:20 PM

I ought to have called it for Kay as well.

DOLE IS DONE!!! WOOT!!!!!!

Goodbye age of tyranny!!!!

Stealth Hunter · 11-04-08, 08:21 PM

But... but...

Bob Dole...

Zachstar · 11-04-08, 08:31 PM

All the networks now confirm Obama victory in PA.

Obama is up over 100k in FL with not too many counties left to count and with INSANE turnout.

Ohio will likely seal it because it has a chance to be called early. Otherwise FL will seal it!

Skybird · 11-04-08, 08:31 PM

McCain must hate the trend forming up. Several hopes he had on some states are on their way to turn into empty air. CNN just dared the first time to talk of a possible "very, very huge" victory for Obama.

Senate race also not going well for the Reds so far.

Guts feeling tells me it is over.

you do realize that it is mainly a ploy to discorage Mccain voters from even bothering.

Early poll results I have heard is that it is to close to call.

So get over it.

Skybird · 11-04-08, 08:34 PM

I just remembered the formula one's season finishing.

:rotfl:

Stealth Hunter · 11-04-08, 08:39 PM

Yeah, Obama's gone up over 200,000 votes in Florida (for the popular vote, that is).

We are ready to rejoin the world scene!

EDIT: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

MAJOR OBAMA GAINS JUST NOW!!!

WE WIN!!

calm down lads.

enthusiasm is a good thing, but it isn't over til the fat lady sings. it may look 'in the bag' so to speak, but wait until its official.

After all, if Macca did end up pulling out a victory, you'd look a mite sheepish
