Isn't there something politically inexpedient about the TV ads for Tom Clancy's EndWar running on the eve of the election? Scenes of mass global war accompanied by the voice-over "The end begins November 5"? :lol

I'm kinda wondering the same thing. I've got CNN, but it's constantely interruted by CNN Europe news and etc. I wish I could watch FOX News since I'm sure that'd be hillarious to watch if Obama wins.

This MSNBC stream worked perfectly yesterday and it's in good quality, but now it seems to be dead. Hopefully it will be back up when the results are starting to come in.

I'm planning to do this:
CNN Europe on the TV, MSNBC stream on my PC and I guess I will check what SVT has to offer from time to time. If I get bored I might give the cornballs F&F a chance aswell.

I think it's a very volatile situation if you keep demonizing the first black prez when it's not warranted. The country is divided enough as it is..

I've just realised that there's no new episodes of my favourite TV shows because of this election. Fuck Barack Obama! Wait... McCain is responsible too, I'll just stick to hating him instead.

You have to take into account the type of people that watch and take Fox News seriously to begin with.....

Uh, I enjoy Hopium as much as anybody but even if Obama wins today he still has to run again in 2012.

The Obama - Romney election in 2012 will be epic. Seriously, with how fucked up our country is going to be because of the financial crisis, Obama's got one hell of a fight ahead of him.

So you're trying to say that Palin would have a chance against Obama in 2012?

Well yeah, I am assuming Obama wil get re-elected.

If he does not, and if Palin runs and wins in 4 years, the soonest she could be President is January 2013. chance of that happening 0.02 %

Where I'll be watching is going to have MSNBC on, so if someone can keep track of the Fox News clips shown when results are called, that would be pretty cool.

...which puts her right on target to be there alongside flying cars, 80s retro diners and hover skateboards. BELIEVE

I get the feeling the MSM is as sick of her as we all are. She will have a hard time staying in the national spotlight after this election is over. Alaska is too remote for her to stay in the limelight.

I think SNL may keep PALIN alive since Obama is pretty boring for the lulz

Nope, SNL will have to stick with whomever the President is no matter how boring they may be, as they always have. If Palin shrinks back into obscurity, the comedy media will no longer have any use for her.

Tina Fey is now off the hook as far as portraying Palin goes, according to Lorne Michaels.

Didn't she REALLY hate the idea of portraying her at the start? I seem to remember hearing that.

Yeah, Fey said in an interview before Palin made her appearance that she couldn't bear the idea of having to stand next to her. You can see her grimacing when standing next to McCain.

If Barack Obama wins the popular vote by 7 or 8 percentage points, then he will also carry at least a couple of the following states: Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota.

If Barack Obama should end up by 3 or 4 percent of the popular vote, then it is possible that John McCain will carry a couple of the following states: Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio.

The Crystal Ball expects Barack Obama to run closer to the maximum than to the minimum in the popular vote tally.

oh the possibilities!

Not really important at all, but anyways; I just saw a survey on one of the larger newspapers news site in this country (obviously not american) about who people would rather vote for in the american election. Out of more than 60k votes, 84% wanted Obama to win. A few percentages were undecided too. Then again, it's an internet survey and I guess people could vore repeatedly for one of the candidates if they wanted to.

Near the end of the last thread, someone posted a Sweden vote-map picture. But you guys are socialist and unfree and stuff.
