That last part of McCain's speech I thought was really great, and where I felt he wasn't simply reading a prompter(though I believe that he means the words of that speech).

I heard on one of the election stations that he was apparently taken very aback and disturbed that in a survey, over 50% of his supporters were scared of an Obama presidency. I am glad that he gave the sort of speech he did.

Democrats retain both houses of congress!!!

Obama leads by 3.6 million votes!

 

[SiderealExalt]

That speech was pretty amazing. And while I know many people didn't cheer at the mention of McCain, there wasn't any booing at all.

 

[Vylo]

Obama passes 50 million votes!

He now leads by 3.8 million votes!

Fun fact:

The crowd around Obama is estimated to have been 150,000 strong.

MO has McCain ahead 600 votes at 99% in. Interesting.

I was deeply saddened hearing the people "boo" every time McCain said Obama's name during his concession speech. I think John McCain is a good man and I am thankful for his service to this country. I respect the fact that you could tell he was very embarrassed and disheartened by the negative reaction from the crowd. What I have little respect for are the people who have done nothing but act like crybabies during this entire election.

Folks, regardless of who you voted for, lets try and be gracious winners and losers during this time.

 

[SiderealExalt]

Definitely. In fact, this entire election season whenever I've seen a clip of people doing that at one of McCain's events, he always seemed to really trying to hide a look of total disgust and mostly but not quite succeeding. I don't think he was expecting a lot of the venom.

 

[Vylo]

McCain is lightyears ahead of Palin and many of his supporters in terms of integrity.

Watch the "kill him" clip, and you will see a puzzled, troubled look appear on McCain's face.

 

[Vylo]

Obama 338
McCain 160

Obama leads by 5.6 million votes.

Obama so far has received the third highest number of popular votes in history.

I'll be back in the morning to look at the more finalized numbers.

 

[Vylo]

Actually one final note:

My county had ~70% turnout

 

[Vylo]

Obama now officially is the American president with the most popular votes in history!

He leads McCain by 7.2 million votes.

A decisive win for Obama.

 

[Vylo]

Obama takes Indiana!

Obama 349
McCain 163

Obama has 63 million votes, 7.2 million more then McCain

Blowout for Obama.
