What is the deal with the voting system? Obama has got more votes but 5 less electorals?
[QUOTE=Seth2492]Well you can just go quietly, you don't have to announce that you don't like McCain's supporters.[/QUOTE] Settle down, there's no need to get so angry about this...
[QUOTE=Seth2492]For Christ's sakes kid, only 8% or so of the country has their votes in.[/QUOTE] Yea, but it is a great start.
[QUOTE=DrMonumbo]Did anyone see that fucking hologram lady on CNN [B]WHAT THE FUCK[/B]:megamonoc:[/QUOTE] I know! Some freaky ass star wars shit right there. But dude, surely that can't be genuine? You'd think such an awesome breakthrough would have been reported already!
[QUOTE=thisispain]You just showed how butthurt you are by this post. My ass is not the one being hurt here.[/QUOTE] Mind has been blown.
Mark Warner won a Senate seat FUCK YEAH
:siren:[b]Barely 10% of the country has voted so far, no one is winning, stop complaining![/b]:siren:
[QUOTE=Neolithic v8]What is the deal with the voting system? Obama has got more votes but 5 less electorals?[/QUOTE] Yah, the system is fucked. Blame the government.
All these vote counts, it shows the scale of this election. around 1,000,000 people voted in Florida so far. That is a lot of people.
[QUOTE=wind8ws]Settle down, there's no need to get so angry about this...[/QUOTE] Well, you did call all McCain supporters blind, which is pretty insulting
OBAMA!
[QUOTE=huntskikbut]Yah, the system is fucked. Blame widespread voter apathy.[/QUOTE] Fixed.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883]Sorry, but Florida is lost to Obama. Dammit those south Floridians![/QUOTE] ...What, the polls haven't closed here yet. Still got about 15 minutes.
[QUOTE=Roboticist]Fixed.[/QUOTE] This post is leet
[QUOTE=ihatecompvir]My School had a mock election and McCain won by 500 votes(I live in TN) so it's safe to say my county and maybe state will vote for McCain. I voted for Obama.[/QUOTE] Obama did well at my school (Alabama) because all the black kids voted for him. I'm almost positive I'm the only white kid that didn't vote for McCain. I constantly have to verbally slap these idiots that say that Senator Obama is a Muslim or that he's the anti-christ, they're so ignorant. By the way everyone, these maps are ridiculously incomplete right now. As we have seen in the past, it isn't over until it is -OVER-. :specialschool:
[QUOTE=Karskin]Well, you did call all McCain supporters blind, which is pretty insulting[/QUOTE] I'm sorry if I insulted you I only meant to say that you guys don't know what you're talking about
[QUOTE=huntskikbut]Yah, the system is fucked. Blame the government.[/QUOTE] Well, I don't think the poll watchers were fooled by the democrats named "mickey mouse" and "lex Luther"
[QUOTE=Uberman77883]All these vote counts, it shows the scale of this election. around 1,000,000 people voted in Florida so far. That is a lot of people.[/QUOTE] Yes the votes count, but the current counts do not. The percentages are going to shift a whole fucking lot, do you really plan on whining when one candidate is either ahead or behind the other?

[QUOTE=wind8ws]I'm sorry if I insulted you I only meant to say that you guys don't know what you're talking about[/QUOTE] I love you too wind8ws.
You know, it has just dawned on me what I'm seeing, I'm seeing one of the most pivotal events in this country's history unfolding before me.
[QUOTE=Sgt Napalm]Mind has been blown.[/QUOTE] I got your shit in a twist. "Your shitty skill has become my bitch. You mind is blown, like your mom's door. When your daddy found out I was sleepin with that ho. Oh yo... DOO DOO DO DOOSH. DOO DOO DO DOOSH." I'm sorry, I was reminded of something ages ago.
[QUOTE=wind8ws]I'm sorry if I insulted you I only meant to say that you guys don't know what you're talking about[/QUOTE] Once again, I won't lose sleep over who wins, I'm Canadian, I'm just saying you're really ignorant
Obama is losing??? :(
[QUOTE=wind8ws]I'm sorry if I insulted you I only meant to say that you guys don't know what you're talking about[/QUOTE] What's more insulting is that a mod is practically calling the McCain supporters fools. Way to go, bud.

[QUOTE=Karskin]Once again, I won't lose sleep over who wins, I'm Canadian, I'm just saying you're really ignorant[/QUOTE] Can you please quit yelling, I"m just trying to have a civilized conversation here.
[QUOTE=wind8ws]I don't want the blind McCain supporters ruining my evening tonight, so I think I'm going to go on SA now. Crawl into a ball of Obama support.[/QUOTE] have you forgot about the huge obama bandwagon? i see them all the time around my school screaming the word change, and can't say a reason to vote for him other than change.
Just got one question when will we know whos the winner?
