Can't wait to see how this all unfolds!
1I'm tingling!
2I love the chart above.
3What a cute chart! I love it!
4lol i love the chart.
here goes, people!!!
5I'm shakin in my boots!
6I have butterflies in my stomach!
7We shall see, we shall see...
8The length of time reporting shows no landslides. This is going to be a close one!
9OMG apparently I live in a toss up state (OR), my vote counts...when did that happen? I can't remember a time when the whole west coast wasn't blue. Now I'm nervous
...
No wonder the senate people were bombarding us in commercials.
10This is so exciting, I need a xanax!
11I don't know how close it's going to be - but all the toss-up states right now are leaning Democrat.
12:nervousashell:
13Nerve racking. Here we go...
14Maine Obama
15North Carolina McCain
Nobody in Sugar HQ is able to concentrate — we all have election fevah! An exciting night for sure.
16Popular vote goes to Obama. I'll never understand why we don't go by popular vote.
17He won Kentucky too
18oh duh you posted it..I am such a nerd
19I am getting out of here.bye girls
20I'm sorry and I hope I don't offend anyone but I'm tired of hearing about peoples religious preferences affecting the opinion of people in the senatorial race.
I understand the reporters are just reporting and I don't want to whine, but I'm starting to feel offended by all the godless remarks. They may not be "godless" and are defending themselves, but I am agnostic and I don't think I'm a bad person without potential to hold office in government
.
It must be a million times as bad to be Muslim, especially considering that if you are, you're probably socially conservative and then it would be your own party attacking you.
21Election night party in a couple hours, woohoo.
22lol, it's going to be rough having to wait out the time zone differences.
23GS where did you get those state projections from? i don't see them on tv yet..
24I have to admit it the first election that I'm truly interested in!!!!
25Me to *tontonlaura* You're not alone.
26Bella's right! It's just too exciting!
27Ok, they called them early. Take back NC and Maine!
28McCain is leading VA with over 6% reporting.
29it's going to start getting good after most of the polls close 7pm central time.
3050% McCain in Indiana with almost a quarter reporting...
31I hope so. This waiting is for the birds!!
32Great chart. I love it! So helpful too.
33I feel like I'm five and it's bedtime on Christmas eve!! The suspense!!
34or 8 eastern...
35Are their heads gonna be squished and tiny in the smaller boxes?
36I can't wait for all this to be over
372 million down....100 million to go
38Holy crap! They are already having problems in Florida with people not understanding how to properly fill out their ballots! *shaking head*
39I really want to see how NW Indiana votes. My guess is that as those counties go, so goes the state. (I grew up in "Michiana" so it's kinda home!)
40I am so tired of waiting on North Carolina. I want results!!
41Doesn't McCain have 21 now
42How am I not surprised, fuzzles?
43I know fuzzles! You would think Florida would have it together by now! Why don't we all have the same voting procedures?
