FUCK IT

[tencrush]

It's two in the morning and I couldn't sleep. Bollocks. I now have a laptop and ITV and a beer and fuck it. ITV just fucked up and told us McCain had 103 electoral votes already. They done mixed up their numbers but I did have a wee heartattack.

How's this one for luls:
McCain calls Florida voters and talks shit. In Spanish.

I know I said I wouldn't talk too much politics in here anymore, but I sincerely hope both McCain and Palin crawl back into their respective putrid little holes after this election and are never heard from again. Their preying on people's fears and insecurities, shit-spewing, hate-mongering brand of politics has no place in the modern world and I'm proud to sit here when I'm supposed to be sleeping because my kids'll be up soon, and watch America reject it once and for all. I may even cry.

To celebrate ITV switching their numbers back the right way, have a cockicon.

Oh, and the lady sitting at the BBC table just told us "the fish rots from the head". Yes, yes she did.

I don't think my heart could have taken that.

Yeah, that was pretty weird. Luckily, at the time, they were listing all the states that were in and who they went to, and the first two put Obama over the 34 that it said on my screen, so I quickly figured it was wrong. But still, it made me shudder just a tad.

I can't sleep either - I think a lot of Europe is going to be tired tomorrow. But tired and happy. Right?

*eyes pompoms fretfully*

[tencrush]

YES. TIRED AND HAPPY. I KNOW he'll win, I know it in my heart now, but I just have to watch.

Yeah, if McCain comes back from this I'll be stunned. And then I'll cry.

I didn't care this much about the last election in my own country.

The guys on BBC's coverage seem to uniformly think it'll be Obama. IT WILL BE OK.

HE'D BETTER.

OMFG I'm gonna have an fucking aneurysm, watching the numbers come in.

*clutches heart*

ETA: As always, thank you for the cock.

LOL, ONLY IF 103 = 8 SOMEHOW.

I am dying of nervousness. :[

ETA: Don't know if you care but the New York Times site has pretty great coverage: http://www.nytimes.com/

Wow, their map is certainly impressive. It's got counties and everything.

"I sincerely hope both McCain and Palin crawl back into their respective putrid little holes after this election and are never heard from again. Their preying on people's fears and insecurities, shit-spewing, hate-mongering brand of politics has no place in the modern world" - I couldn't agree more. I'm especially concerned about all this "Palin 2012" talk. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Palin Power" - ugh.

They've declared more states for McCain at this point, but it means nothing, they were states projected to go to him. It'll be the "battleground" states that are the crucial ones. We probably won't know until very late or even tomorrow (US time). But I just heard exit polls in 2 crucial areas in VA are showing Obama up by 20-25 points!

A friend of mine went to Obama's last rally in Manassas VA last night - I was so jealous, although she had to wait 5 hours - that's why I couldn't do it.

The BBC just casually announced that officials are now expecting well over A MILLION people in the vicinity of Grant Park. I have no words for what's happening.

I think possibly, if I had ITV and had watched, I'd have stared and then gone back to bed. Might've taken a shot of vodka first XD

Never need an excuse for using a cockicon

*goes back to watching election news, not thinking about going to work in five hours*

Watching this with bated breath like you. Guh this is so nerve wracking.

I like that NYTimes map that was posted up a couple comments.
