I was watching a comedy show and they showed a clip of a women saying "No one in my family votes for a 'baby-killer', and Barak Obama is a baby-killer!"

I can't believe how brainwashed they are and how they easily they believe stuff. Only a few days to go...

How long will the whole election process take?? I was thinking about staying up and watching the results come in, but with the time differences, I might be able to go to sleep and just get up early and watch the results come in

anyone know?

polls close at 8PM (local times), but it depends all on how the votes come out (which states go to who, etc). it could take all night

The official results will probably be known by the early morning hours after election night.

I just realized who McCain reminds me of. Dr. Evil

If it's a blow out, we may know by 10pm. Florida, Indiana and Virginia all have relatively early closing polls. If Obama sweeps those States, McCain doesn't really have any conceivable path to victory.

It will be extremely difficult for McCain to win. Look at Arizona, his home state, not secure anymore. Look at Montana, up for grabs, Georgia, up for grabs, Indianna. Even W. Virginia is not secure for McCain anymore. NC is a tie, along w/Missouri and Ohio. Florida leaning Obama. Alot of rep states are either just leaning for McCain or up for grabs.

I was in Abilene a few days ago. Most voters around me were voting for McCain. This weekend, we ate dinner in Buffalo Gap, just south of Abilene, and I picked up a copy of the newspaper. Every single article in the paper was anti-Obama and pro McCain. The articles purported that all of the rumors about Obama were true. One article called him the jihad candidate. Others called him a proven socialist, etc. There were two editorials in the Abilene Reporter News stating that we didn't need a socialist in the White House. Almost 100% McCain around there.

Which brings me to a point: I have a feeling the assassination attempts will never cease.
I was very hesitant to vote for him because of this. However, I know he is intelligent enough to know this is a real possibility. In addition, in his debate, he stated if something should happen to him Biden would be the best person to take over. That confirmed to me that he knows what he is up against. If he is strong enough to take a chance on that, then I am strong enough to take a chance on voting for him.

Sad but true. I've been trying not to think about it but it is indeed a very real probability. In addition to being of color and a liberal, he is also considerably young. The last 'young' prez we had was JFK... ring a bell?

I just sincerely hope that if the unfortunate event of Obama's assassination takes place, that it won't be sugar-coated by the conservatives as not an assassination, but an attempt to "protect us" and giving us the song & dance of how Obama is really an ally with "terrorists". What's really sad is that I could see that actually happening and the American Sheeple falling for it.

Let's hope that Obama and his team has already long prepared for this and that no one drops the ball with protecting him when he wins tomorrow!

When the Iranians are burning an effigy of Obama and the US Flag in the streets, people will realize he's not allied with him.

Dixville Notch has spoken: It's Obama in a landslide

DIXVILLE NOTCH, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama emerged victorious in the first election returns of the 2008 presidential race, winning 15 of 21 votes cast in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.

People in the isolated village in New Hampshire's northeast corner voted just after midnight Tuesday. It was the first time since 1968 that the village leaned Democratic in an election. Obama's rival, Republican John McCain, won 6 votes.

A full 100 percent of registered voters in the village cast ballots. And the votes didn't take long to tally. The town, home to around 75 residents, has opened its polls shortly after midnight each election day since 1960, drawing national media attention for being the first place in the country to make its presidential preferences known.

However, since 1996, another small New Hampshire town -- Hart's Location -- reinstated its practice from the 1940s and also began opening its polls at midnight. The result in Dixville Notch is hardly a reliable bellwether for the eventual winner of the White House or even the result statewide.

Though New Hampshire is a perennial swing state, Dixville Notch -- until now -- had consistently leaned Republican. The last Democrat it picked was Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968. President Bush won the town in a landslide in the last two elections: He captured 73 percent of the vote in 2004 (19 residents picked Bush while six preferred Sen. John Kerry), and secured 80 percent of the vote in 2000 (21 votes for Bush, five votes for Al Gore.)

But villagers expected the results to be close this year given Democrats now outnumber Republicans there. The town picked both John McCain and Barack Obama for the New Hampshire Democratic and Republican primaries in January. McCain ultimately won the state of New Hampshire, while Sen. Hillary Clinton upset Obama there.
