Watch the returns here!

Watch it happen live! And if I can, I'll though in some useless editorializing.

Now fivethirtyeight and CNN have excellent widgets to watch as well. Fivethirtyeight.com is especially cool, as it has developed a nice reputation for actually being right. Currently, they are projecting a rather wide victory for Obama.

Ohio an Penn!!!!!

Last week we asked our readers to predict the result of the election. How did they do? Out of the 474 people who guessed the results of this year's presidential election, only six got the electoral vote right - 365 votes for Obama (assuming Missouri goes for McCain and Omaha goes for Obama). None…
"Trump's chance of victory have doubled over the last two weeks," notes FiveThirtyEight, and this is in accord with what I've been saying. I suggested a few days ago that while Clinton would probably win, there is a nowhere near zero chance that she won't. FiveThirtyEight came out with an…

With the U.S. presidential election just a few days away, many of us are in a frenzy to get information about the polls and who might be the winner. And everyone has an opinion about who'll win.

George W. Bush, you DESTROYED the credibility of the Republican Party! Now, if we can bury it completely and find a more credible party to represent Conservatives' interests, such as the Liberterians, we will all be better off.

NO MORE PREEMPTIVE WARS!

Dear America,

Yes, welcome to a world where all the hard work, commitment and dedication that you have put into your profession/career is considered worthless, a world where you are demeaned and vilified for being successful. Yeah, that feels just peachy...I can't wait to start calling my fellow workers "comrade" since I am now just a cash cow for the proletariat (although w/ the tax hike I will get I will no longer be a cash cow). I am against the war in Iraq, I am for reproductive rights (except the third trimetster abortions that Obama loves sicken me), I believe in my tax dollars being used wisely to help those less fortunate, but I do not believe in Obama's disdain for those who work hard and are successful.

My cat is called Sam, he spends his profiting from my work and torturing weaker creatures. Very much the capitalist of Stalin's proaganda.

Should read "spends his time profiting", I really need to start preveiwing...
