Rove is the kind of person that results from a gay father that suppressed his gayness and a mother that committed suicide.

I'm not joking. The guy is a Freudian nightmare.

I read his Vanity Fair Proust Questionnaire a couple of days ago and it creeped me out.

Oh, don't worry, I'm not completely cocky. :lol

I am, for the first time actually, nervous as HELL. It's like anything else that you have to prepare for because when it actually comes time to do it this nervous feeling kicks in. It could be talking to a girl you've liked for some time or getting on the road with traffic for the first time after practicing in parking lots and backstreets.

Trust me, I'm nervous as FUCK. :lol

But, like I said, I didn't have any of these feeling before. They just kicked in. Very strange.

Apparently he real biological father left him and he was raised by the person who he thought was his father, but that guy was gay.

It's weird . . . perhaps he hates all mankind because he biological father left him? Who knows . . . he clearly lacks some fundamental ethics.

It's OKAY to be confident, people. Just don't be so confident that you decide to let other voters pick up the slack of YOUR absence at the polling booth. :D

Nah, he's just a really, really smart campaign strategist who knows how to win elections at any cost.

Sarah Palin essentially clearing herself of Troopergate was the McCain campaigns last desperate grasp before the election? Too bad nobody gave a shit about Troopergate to begin with. What a terrible, terrible campaign, heads are going to roll starting Nov. 5th.

Well she was 86 that's a damn good run, RIP and unfortunate it happened before he got elected.

I'm feeling pretty good right now for the first time during this whole election, I remember just a few months ago I voted for him on super tuesday without much hope that he would beat Hillary.

I'd say that Florida is more likely to go blue than Ohio, but they're both fairly unlikely.

Why is Matthews letting this Senator spew so much bullshit about Obama being a socialist and wanting the supreme court to redistribute wealth. Matthews knows better

Just too sad that Obama's grandmother died literally the day before he is likely to receive the presidential nomination.

I'm not sure people will remember Palin in 2012. America hates a loser.

If they do, I'm sure there will be someone out there willing to remind people about her foibles.

The links for the debates should work for election night coverage :D


C-SPAN1 (Direct Link), C-SPAN2 (Direct Link)

CNN.com Live
Direct Links:
Stream 1
Stream 2
Stream 3
Stream 4

MSNBC (Looks like MSNBC Election Day Online coverage has started....Link is streaming live MSNBC right now!); if the link is changed or it goes down, the frontpage of MSNBC.com will have the new link posted when it comes back.

Aw man, I was wondering why people were talking about Obama's grandma at school :(

On a different note...

My girlfriend is still undecided. So she asked for some non-partisan voting guides. Any suggestions/help? Anything decidedly partisan will only make her ignore it.

Frontline (PBS) seems to be decent...but what else?

Wow, his grandma died today? The day before the election? Bummer. What a rollercoaster ride this week must be for Obama.

PoliGAF, it's weird.

I'm here in England for the year, surrounded by English people who only slightly care about the election and Americans are for McCain.

And it's like

For once in my adult life, my home country seems to be agreeing with me politically and I'm not there.

I'm starting to wonder if America would be a better place without me in it because at least Obama's getting elected.

Wedge, my man, why don't you have a seat over here? We need to have a talk.

It's about your girlfriend, and it's not good news.
