Election Day Thread 2008

Clear lack of class, I would even go to say intellect, from the McCain-Palin supporters during McCain's speech. Really sad actually.

Bitterness is a bitch.

But who cares about the supporters. McCain was classy, and at the end of the day, that's what counts.

Great night. Very impressive from President Elect Obama (wow). And very gracious from John McCain--nice to see the old John again. I think that was a better representation of the man then his campaign.

Very historic. Loved the part in Obama's speech about the 106 year old voter from Georgia. Amazing.

The McCain supporters were a big reason I didn't switch my vote last minute. It seemed like too many of his rural supporters had no reasoning whatsoever to vote for him but were more adamant than anyone that I shouldn't vote for obama. Racial based ignorance was seeming to run rampant in culpeper. Bad day for the trailer parks across the nation.

One of the big stories of this election was the voter turnout, very good to see people getting out there and voting

The Associated Press: Voter turnout best in generations, maybe a century (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i34ao3tow5yhj2v7v24HM_wbT8JQD948LJRG0)

AMAN!!!!! Trailer Trash is right

That's McCain talking, not the McCain campaign. Big difference. I can't imagine the emotions going through his and Obama's heads right now. And their families.

It's unfortunate we didn't get to see more of that during the campaign.

I think we did early, but then it just faded away.

I was in and out within 5 minutes. Very efficient polling station here in Washington county MD. The only thing they needed here was flag men for parking. There was a steady flow of cars coming and going. I think if I had waited much longer I would have been stuck in traffic just leading up to the polling place. Once you got parked it was pretty seamless. Getting out of the parking lot was no fun though.

Both of these quotes...ridiculous!

You guys want to talk about biased and racial but then call out rural supporters of a particular candidate as trailer trash? Take a look in the mirror and rethink those statements.

Yeah I was really tired Tuesday morning and I was going to blow it off. Then I thought of the All State commercial where the lady in the wheel chair went through all this stuff so that she could get to the voting both. So I was like I am a serious lazy piece of crap if I don't go.

I as so GLAD I did it and when I saw Obama win I was like I had a part in this great American moment!

The easy part is over for Obama, now it is time for him and all of us to put our heads down and shovel ourselves out of this shit. Today is the start of a great new start! Amen!!!!!!
