I agree with Greg. Obama is right and the rest of you can move to alaska. Shoo Shoo.

 

[john16O]

Its called the congress, GUY.


I didnt know you were so worried about people making over $250k a year. Do you know many? Do you really think going back to the 90s tax rate is going to affect their lifestyle?

lol i believe you just contradicted yourself buddy...

 

[john16O]

$250k is not upper middle class. %250k is the top 1% of the entire population.


249k, is six figures. Its not >=250k. So not "anyone" making six figure will be affected.

I didnt ask you if you know people making 'six figures'. I said do you know anyone making more than $250k.

my answer to this is posted up this^^

Wow! They are early closers! Are you sure that takes in the whole state? I think we've got another 2 hours in Maine, and according to cnn.com Indiana closes at 7:00

Greg, notarize this bet please.

Don't forget that people don't pay the 6.2% Social Security tax on income over $102,000, so they are paying less than those making under $102,000. Never mind tax shelters and loopholes the wealthy have to keep part of their income from being taxed.

Not only that, but in order to pay for the last round of tax cuts, of which the majority of the savings went to the same people paying a lower percentage on Social Security tax, they raided the Social Security fund.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

You're on. Dead serious.

Greg, notarize this bet please.

[Cyrus]

[physics girl phd]

I caused a scare at my polling place... why? I speak loudly across the gym to my waiting husband: "it's NOT showing my choice!"

My electronic ballot summary said my choice was:
Electoral votes for president: BAR
What? for Barr?

I go back, unselect my choice, reselect my choice, go back to the choice list page:
Electoral votes for president: BAR

Oh.. okay. They come console me with a printout that shows BAR is for BARACK OBAMA.
I can hit "cast ballot."

But: Why can't the dumb machines print the WHOLE name of your choice? And give me a printout with this?

Honestly, I prefer the scan-trons. Or even the punch-cards. I knew how to use punch cards and check them! Call me paranoid.

Well: Everybody in hearing range at our polling location probably double-checked their selections before casting their ballots. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Obama showing 56 - 43 in early Indiana
McCain showing 62 - 36 in Kentucky.

What if two candidates have the same first name?

Seriously, everyone go here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553

It updates the vote count every 2 minutes!

I wish I could see how the California Props are doing.

I should have known. When people say that they usually don't mean it. But then why to they say it? Is it to motivate others to "do as I say, not as I do"?

 

[LightbulbSun]

Obama 50% McCain 49% in Indiana with 1% of the precincts in
McCain 62% Obama 37% in Kentucky with 1% of the precincts in

 

[Evo]

Kentucky was always a lost cause.

 

[LightbulbSun]

McCain looks to be winning Kentucky.

 

[LightbulbSun]

Indiana is a really tight race right now.

 

[Evo]

Florida poll closes in 13 minutes, then should start reporting.

I hope tonight isn't a nail biter.

 

[LightbulbSun]

Obama winning Indiana will be huge since Indiana hasn't voted blue since Lyndon Johnson.

 

[morphism]

How will I get any work done tonight!

 

[LightbulbSun]

51-48% in Obama's favor in Indiana right now. 3% in.

 

[LightbulbSun]

Wow Obama gained serious ground in Kentucky. McCain only leads 51-48% right now.

 

[Astronuc]

Kentucky is really close right now - but only 10% of precincts reporting. Still, CNN award Kentucky to McCain.

10% precincts reporting - 7:03 p.m. EST, Nov 4 '08
McCain 94,554 52%
Obama 86,700 47%

Indiana is close at the beginning

McCain 64,418 50%
Obama 63,236 49%
4% of precincts reporting 7:00 p.m. EST, Nov 4 '08

 

[LowlyPion]

Wow Obama gained serious ground in Kentucky. McCain only leads 51-48% right now.

NBC projects Kentucky a win for McCain based on reporting.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

Ralph Nader thanks you.

I wonder why he would do a thing like that. I always vote for the candidate that I think will do me the most good. If that pleases one or more of the candidates, then so be it, but I don't do it for their sakes. I do it for my own sake. If you vote on different lines, then I thank you.

I wish I could email you some York peppermint patties. I'm trying to show restraint, so they are going slowly.

Awesome, thanks Greg!

8:01, MSNBC called PA for Obama, no votes in. They said so far every state they called went the same as in the last election.

 

[russ_watters]

Here in Oregon, where we have vote by mail, if you didn't mail your ballot in by Friday, it won't arrive in time to be counted.(they were mailed out on the 17th of Oct.) However, we do have drop off locations where you can hand deliver your ballot until 8:00pm today. I voted early last week.

Did I read that right: everyone in Oregon votes via mail? Why is that?
