One of a series of periodic reports tonight. I'll be updating the post near the top of each hour. I know how I think it should, and what I fear will happen is looking more and more likely.
CURRENT Electoral Map
First clue: AC sitting around the table with four yap-yaps. They start talking bout whether the exit polls mean anything. O.K., so they were good for decades, but the last two elections, pffft? Good enough for FOREIGN COUNTRIES -- good enough for the U.S. to call for re-votes in former Soviet states and African nations -- but now no good. Pffft!
Then the Repub Castellanos says the "racist" vote breaking McCain big-time, turnout don't mean much, dems voted early, Kerry's polls wrong, etc, etc, etc. Then Begala, the Clinton puke, says the EXIT POLLS might have to be RE-WEIGHTED to MATCH REALITY!! Oh, that SMELLS SO BAD, like 2004! Meanwhile, Carville and the black woman sat by silently during all this.
Something to watch: Indiana. Obama should win according to me (you can check), and King's map had no Kerry counties coming in yet, with Obama strong in Bush country. If Indiana goes red, then this is the scenario. If blue, then here is your winner.
I'll check back later, readers.
Update (7:59 est): CNN calls South Carolina for McCain while Obama leads 55% t0 44%?
I smell a STINK, folks!! Update (8:04 est): Now Bill and Soledad are going over the exit polls!!! Why, AC 360 and crew just said they don't mean sh*t!
Update (9:06 est): At 8:25, Axelrod said their wasn't any vote fraud or irregularities, blah, blah. I thought he was throwing in the towel; however, I was wrong. What alerted me is that Republican Senate Leader McConnell is IN TROUBLE in Kentucky! With John King's map showing McCain running behind Bush and Obama bathing other Bush sections in blue, it looks like a DEM WAVE!! Which is SCARY when you think about it; Joe the Jew can again be the 60th vote (in the catbird seat, just like being the 51st "democrat" in the senate) and FASCISM is easier to ram through with a NEUTERED OPPOSITION!! And remember, readers, when the Democrats had an EFFECTIVE MINORITY they DID NOT USE IT! And now George is going to fulfill his promise to Israel?
The clincher was PENNSYLVANIA being called for OBAMA!! And NOW (8:53 est), Democrat Kay Hagan just beat Republican Elizabeth Dole!!!!! Dems also picked up senate seat in New Mexico, so the wave has started!
Meanwhile, in-state, Kerry was reelected (at least CNN was calling it), Olver was relected, all the incumbent house members who voted for the bailout were relected. Not sure about the ballot questions yet, although it looked like NO on 1 (70-30, propaganda worked), YES on 2 and YES on 3! What did Meatloaf sing? Two outta three ain't bad? NO DOG RACING!!!! Awwww right!!!!!! Take your wares elsewhere, heartless pukes!!
Update (9:14 est): CNN says battleground calls coming. It's looking like a fair election -- readers, in other words, they aren't stealing it from Obama -- but I'm still not convinced. We bloggers did our job by hollering. I'm still waiting for the narrative they handed you, Wolf. Waiting.....
Something to watch: Florida. Looking like Obama, and if Florida goes blue, Mccain's butt will be blue from the beating he's gonna take! Later, readers....
BREAKING (9:19): CNN calls McConnell a winner! Also FOX CALLED OHIO for OBAMA!!! Sheppard Smith called it!! It's a DEMOCRAT TSUNAMI, folks!! Repubs will be LUCKY to HOLD 40 SENATORS!
Update (9:27 est): MSNBC calls Ohio for Obama!! Scarborough is throwing in the towel. Wolf, you are way too slow and I'm going to bed.
It's over. Barack Obama is the president-elect of the United States. I'm going to bed.
