[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know... It was too close to call for like, 20 minutes. *sighs*

[nattybear.livejournal.com]

Shit! My MPR station sounded so optimistic, but now that I turn on the television I'm not so sure! Fuck, indeed.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I can't take this!!!

[lachicarubia.livejournal.com]

I'm so terrible at "Give Bush A Brain".

It must be fate telling me that no, he won't ever get one.

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Obama! I'm in Chicago right now (I go to the University of Chicago, where Obama is a senior lecturer at the law school)!!! Obama carried it with like 80% of the vote (and you just know those 20% who voted for Keyes live in the boonies).

Gods. Kerry: 112; Bush: 156.
I hate this so much.
*is slightly afraid*

And I *know* Louisiana is going to go to Bush.
Grr.

Huzzah for Obama! I love living in Illinois.

Everything else, though, worries me. I'm going to be a nervous wreck by the time this night is over.

*wibbles*

I really wish I drank so that i could get pissed... I'm starting to spazz right now watching NBC... 53 to 46 percent... so close... but so far!!! WAHHHHH

[nattybear.livejournal.com]

GOD he's at 185, now.

[nattybear.livejournal.com]

Scratch that, 192.

[vichan.livejournal.com]

I'm growling at my neighbors right now. Issue 1 (ammendment to the Ohio constitution to 'define marriage as between a man and a woman') is passing. ARR.

I'm counting on Cleveland. They're MASSIVE, and they're heavily Democratic.

[littleroo27.livejournal.com]

My dad called me from Kansas and said "we called to ask you to go out and vote some more!" cuz our polls haven't closed yet. He suggested I pound on my neighbors doors to make sure they'd all gone out and voted. GAH!!! I really hate the electoral college.

*whimpers* So not cool. Too nervewracking. Too close.

My first presidential election, and this is what I can look forward to?! What's wrong with this picture?!

[littleroo27.livejournal.com]

my first one was last time. But at least I had people around to freak out with me. This time I'm alone, save for online friends. I'm positively going MENTAL!!!

[killerspork33.livejournal.com]

Ok, yes he's losing by...more than a few votes but don't forget that he's supposed to take California and that's 55 fucking votes. So he's not as far behind as it may appear.

[marcos-mine.livejournal.com]

I love your icon. Yay Thirteen.

[sciencegeek.livejournal.com]

I was just about to comment on PA going to Kerry.
I'm such a dork. I'm not even American and I'm all over this election.

[sciencegeek.livejournal.com]

Time out. 188 for Kerry? What happened? Damn my bladder.

[helens78]

*hugs bunches*

[marcos-mine.livejournal.com]

Take it, use it.
I spent a whole five minutes making it, but hey it will get the message out.

My state went to Bush. So much for proving were not all rednecks who marry thier counsin's.

[killer-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Bush is winning my swing state of Ohio! How depressing is that! *sobs*

[vichan.livejournal.com]

The margin narrowed, and now it's getting bigger again. Cleveland needs to be heavily democratic in order for this to go Kerry's way...

OYYY.

But Kerry's winning in my county. ^_^

[littleroo27.livejournal.com]

246 to 195 *cries*

I must go to bed now but I will keep all body parts crossed that some miracle will occur while I sleep and in the morning a non-moron will be president elect.

[littleroo27.livejournal.com]

correction - 249 to 195... *sighs at alaska*
