If i was blazed that would have tripped me out....

It looked like Princess Leia's message carried by R2D2:

"Help us Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!"

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

well, palpatine is about to become supreme chancellor.....

 

[44Thrilla]

IS there a rule that says they can't call it until all the polls are closed?

 

[maxiep]

LOL they would be the first to proclaim McCain win something



That's what's up

They were also the first to call Ohio for Obama. Could it be that they're actually "Fair and Balanced"?

IS there a rule that says they can't call it until all the polls are closed?

After they called Florida for Gore in 2000 before the polls closed, all of the news networks made an agreement with each other to not call a race before the polls close.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's all over! CLAP CLAP CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!

McCain can't win. It's over.

 

[maxiep]

Why does Fox News seem so depressed? Wouldn't a fair and balanced station have neutral reaction to such a news break?

They look comparatively depressed because MSNBC and CNN have handed out the party favors and started popping champagne.

Popular votes are really close right now.

 

[KingSpeed]

Popular votes are really close right now.

Not once they count California.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Not once they count California.

and New York City, Chicago...

John McCain is taking Sarah Palin out back to dispose of her right now.

 

[maxiep]

Joe Scarbarough just called Florida for Obama, but MSNBC themselves haven't yet.

Scarborough knows Florida better than any pundit I've seen, and better than southern-focused FL Reps than Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Robert Wexler. If he says Florida went for Obama, I believe him. With Ohio going for Obama, as Sartre wrote, "Les jeux sont faits".

 

[Денг Гордон]

After calling Obama a liberal for the entire campaign, Fox News just said Obama isn't a liberal, so the liberal ideology didn't win out.

: D

 

[Денг Гордон]

MSNBC projects Texas for McCain.

Obama 200 McCain 124.

 

[¹²³]

Not once they count California.

Yep. I thought Obama would get a bigger advantage in the popular vote, but let's see how it ends.

 

[Денг Гордон]

CNN should just project the other Maine congressional district for Obama already.

 

[Minstrel]

After calling Obama a liberal for the entire campaign, Fox News just said Obama isn't a liberal, so the liberal ideology didn't win out.

: D

I saw that too. The spin is amusing to watch.

"Don't vote for him, he's the most liberal Senator in the nation! He's a far right radical. Voting for him would be a vote for Marxism."

*Obama wins*

"Well, he's not really a liberal. He's probably basically a moderate. The conservative brand is still strong."

 

[44Thrilla]

Iowa for Obama. It's so over right now.

 

[Денг Гордон]

MSNBC reporting...

Iowa - Barack Obama the projected winner.
Utah - John McCain the projected winner.
Montana - TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
Nevada - TOO EARLY TO CALL. (Obama is leading)

Barack Obama 207 John McCain 129

 

[maxiep]

After calling Obama a liberal for the entire campaign, Fox News just said Obama isn't a liberal, so the liberal ideology didn't win out.

: D

And after trying to say that Obama isn't a flaming liberal all season long on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow said, "You couldn't put a piece of paper between Nancy Pelosi's and Barack Obama's political philosophies."

the actual news part of fox news, yes. hannity and o'reilly, give me a break.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Exit Polls:

Iowa - Obama 57 McCain 41
Utah - Obama 32 McCain 65
Nevada - Obama 53 McCain 44
Montana - Obama 48 McCain 47

 

[maxiep]

I'm glad to hear at least one person admit it. I give you a lot of credit for acknowledging the difference.

I take it that you don't watch the channel much. Either that, or your blinded by the light.

 

[MickZagger]

I'm guessing you've never watched Fox and Friends. They are the morning news show and are so right it is gross.

Megyn Kelly, Bill Hemmer.... all those guys are blatantly right wingers.

The only two people on that channel that aren't are Chris Wallace and Brit Hume.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Fun fact: Maverick county, Texas votes 72% for Obama.

 

[¹²³]

Either that, or your blinded by the light.
