Re: Obama did it!!!!
Well, the UK is the 51st State, so a few of us were pissed off that we couldn't vote
What made me laugh posting this thread, watching it live on TV, was the American's on here saying.....
''He's not won it yet, it's not officially over yet''
..... and i'm watching it 3500 miles from the east coast of America and he is being announced as the winner

Re: Obama did it!!!!
Being announced the winner is not the same as winning. Gore was announced the winner in 2000, and we know how that went.
I'm not saying Obama hasn't won or that something will happen to nullify him, but certain technicalities have to be completed for it to be official. Electoral college and all that.
"On the Monday following the second Wednesday in December, the electors of each state meet in their respective state capitals to officially cast their votes for president and vice president. These votes are then sealed and sent to the president of the Senate, who on January 6th opens and reads the votes in the presence of both houses of Congress. The winner is sworn into office at noon on January 20th.
Most of the time, electors cast their votes for the candidate who has received the most votes in that particular state. Some states have laws that require electors to vote for the candidate that won the popular vote, while other electors are bound by pledges to a specific political party. However, there have been times when electors have voted contrary to the people's decision, and there is no federal law or Constitutional provision against it." http://people.howstuffworks.com/question472.htm

Grant Park is an outdoor park...a very large park.
http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/...bject_id/83AA6305-ADBE-4D8A-B333-004449057EA9no, I did not go
but it didn't keep me from celebrating at home 
About a third of the people came that they were expecting. I think everyone thought it would be a million people (me included) so they didn't go. I know a lot of people who went, but nobody on solo that I know of. Yet.

Is It Really So Strange
Joy, we know you single-handedly brought in Ohio.
Thanks for all your hardwork, must be satisfying to know it really paid off.
Thanks, Obama won Cuyahoga county 69%-38%. That's huge and I did indeed help. YES WE DID!!!

I just cannot wait to say goodbye to George Bush.
"This is an impressive crowd -- the haves and the have mores. Some people call you the elite -- I call you my base."
"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right."
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
How has he survived this long?

I'll be SO glad when he's on his *ranch* in Crawford! He could have Karl Rove, and DICK Cheney and Condoleeza Rice there for a good ol' time barbeque! He is NO Texan. He was/is from Kenneborke (sic) MAINE. He's a pretend cowboy.
