Looks like Iran's regime will be changing in a year too?

The Iranian hardline has a loser as it's champion.

That bodes well for Obama's open diplomacy, regardless of it's merits.

If McCain wins, perhaps the hardline stays in Iran because of his war mongering rhetoric, and perhaps we have war.

God I hope Obama wins.

Time to vote.

Declaring the bottom is the only way back up..

Disregard the garbage you hear about "not trusting" them.  It's horseshit.  Kerry had the election stolen from him in '04; the exit polls were right on the fucking money back then.  It was the frickin' votes that were wrong.

If it happens again--a republican win, that is--it's a LIE.  There is NO WAY that Obama loses this election except via vote fraud.  And by that I mean computer hacking.

I just hope to GOD that if it does happen Obama stands up for us.

Watch those exit polls.  Post 'em if you got 'em.

Dang! They announced exit polls and then cut to a commercial....

LONG line when I went to vote today. I waited until about 9:30am, thinking people would be at work. Wrong! There were about 50 people ahead of me in line at my precinct, and another 50 in line for the other precinct sharing the location. But it all went smoothly. And I'm grateful we have this "ink-a-vote" system in Los Angeles. It's like punchcards, but you "punch" a nice dark dot of ink. I always check the paper after to make sure I marked the right holes. Looked good. They scan them at the precinct to check for under- and overvotes. But I was good.

I've been up since 3:30am, and will likely be up to close to that time. I was hoping to take a nap about now, but now, we're going to get data, so I dare not..!

The campaign is hosting a big blowout party at the Century Plaza Hotel, commonly called "White House West" because a lot of presidents have stayed there. A fitting place, I daresay.

I phonebanked OH and VA this morning. Will call some more in a few hours. Trying to get the only rest I'll get all day for the next few hours...!

Commercial is over...

Since the economy is such an important election issue, it's interesting that the plug-in electric Chevy Volt, the car that is supposed to save GM, will cost as much as $40,000.00!  Not exactly competition for the Prius at that level, and beyond the reach of most consumers.  Bye bye GM.

Oh, there you are, Perry. -Phineas -SLB-

Would this have made a difference?

will be HERE as they come in.

it was pretty current last time, and during the primaries.

later

the revolution will not be televised...

 Norah O'Donnell reports that a republican spokesman in NC describes turnout as an obama tsunami....that will likely sweep Dole out of office!!!

One of my republican friends asked his republican friends who they were voting for. They all said Obama, because of the Palin pick. They felt that showed really bad judgment on McCain's part.

Interesting.

He just said that turnout in VA was almost 80%.

Watching a bit of FNC, they are in mourning and totally dead with energy.

They are reduced to sharing cookies Rove brought them and talking repeatedly about all the cool technology they have that, if they would only use it, shows O kicking their butt
