Witch hunt is as witch hunt does....its been a disgrace from start to finish.
Except the Palin/McCain campaign made it easier for people to dislike her.
For some people, EVERYTHING is easier to dislike-everything. So who cares what those people think? Some people disliked her from the beginning, some who have articulated this sentiment. Again, from those, I ask...who cares? Some dislike her simply because she isn't a f***in Washington snob elitist, that morons hold up as smarter than they are, when the truth may be quite the opposite (of course, the voting practices and motivations of such people may make the initial assertion quite true.)
Her position as a conservative made it easier for people who ALREADY didn't like conservatives to dislike her more, that I would agree with. The other is poppycock.
I think the idea of McCain checking out, and leaving Palin as president was enough to sway more than one voter, myself included. I'd put even money on McCain not making it til 2012, as messed up as that may be the guy is OLD.
Thanks God. Good to see my home state of Pennsylvania got it right.
What f***in good does that do, Jared? The election is NOT over. Period. This is not helpful, insightful, or reportable yet.
Umm, yes, the election is over. Data from nearly every county that is reporting substantial results is showing Obama outperforming Kerry in 04. Looking at Florida results, specifically counties in central Florida, and Obama is winning handily. They called Pennsylvania, a must-win state EXTREMELY early for Obama.
The only chance that McCain had was that the polls were substantially wrong EVERYWHERE. But as results are coming in, they are extremely consistent with polls in the last few days of the election.
But I'll adjust my statement. The election is 99.9999999% percent over.

Republican Party, Average Working Joe Bid One Another Adieu Until 2012
November 4, 2008 |
WASHINGTON—As the 2008 presidential campaign came to a close Tuesday, the Republican Party and the average American hard working Joe bid each other a fond farewell at a small rally in Pennsylvania, vowing to meet once again, as scheduled, at the dawn of the next election season. "The Republican Party wishes to thank the Joe for his cooperation and faithful support, and we look forward to acknowledging his needs again in 2012," said GOP representative Luke Hayes, moments before getting in a car and heading back to Washington. "Until then, old friend, we'd just like to say happy trails to you and best of luck." Representatives for the average working Joe reported that the time spent together had likewise been a pleasure, even though he did not actually get around to voting this year.

I don't like them reporting results like this while the polls are still open on the west coast. It might stop some people from going to vote after work.

Nah, there are some 'hot props' (esp a gay marriage ban) that'll have people coming out regardless of the pres vote. Although by the time some of my friends get the polls, the prez race may over.

I'd say it's too little, too late regardless.. Obama had too many things on his side. Most important IMO were the black/minority vote, and the young (under 30) crowd. I was watching it on tv with a black buddy, and he said "damn look at all the brothers that came out this year." Obama is on a roll and nothing could have stopped this.

Feanor:
I heavily respect this sentiment. I agree. I hate the way the media does this.
Fletcher: What Feanor just wrote here is why I'm steamed at this 'calling' s*** that's going on right now. It has nothing to do with 'my guy' winning or losing, because McCain is not my guy. It's no secret that I ABHOR Obama, either. But I'm pissed off right now for the same reason I am every four years-a bunch of talking heads are talking out of their asses on TV, people are swallowing it whole, and people further and further west start to wonder why they're standing in a line. It's a stupid thing to do, an irresponsible thing to do, and furthermore...
As far as that other nonsense you spewed, don't flatter yourself. Should've edited it before you wrote it.
There's not much difference between a Republican and a Democrat. Either way, the country will be headed the same direction. The things McCain and Obama differ on are pretty much nit-picking issues. I don't think either of them would be a huge difference from one another.

Those that dont vote due to early calls shouldnt vote anyway.
Exactly. It's not like we're just voting for a president. Despite all the focus on the presidential race, it's the local ones that affect voters most directly.
You know it's over when Bill Bennett is joining in the Obama circle jerk on CNN. Fox's projections for Obama have also been the same or ahead as CNN's, so Obama looks like he's cruising to a pretty easy win.
