Obama Wins!

10 Million votes stolen already ...

@Kill,

Palast estimates 4% of the vote is fixed. The most recent average margin for Obama as calculated by pollster.com is 8%.

So that leaves the GOP with another 4% to lose. No problem with voting computers that can't count. You don't even have to hack them. They're pre-hacked.

I'm sorry, what planet did you say you were from again?  Bizarro World, was it?  I thought I heard you say Republicans were stealing votes.  I was confused until I remmebered that on Bizarro World everything means the opposite.

Our long national nightmare is over.

@Jim,

?

@Donald

Hooray!

Twenty-two months, fifty or so illustrated articles, $25,000 raised by my group 'Publishers and Authors for Obama', phone calls, door knocking, working a regular job, trying to run AB of Seattle at the same time, editing people's books along the way...

Obama wins. I feel vindicated.

And boy am I tired.

It's true that democracy has its drawback. Here's one:

As you know, our government is run on taxes paid by the people's income tax and corporate taxes.  This election is clrealy won by votes of people who don't pay taxes. The margin of victory in the presidential race is 6%. Clearly, since 40% of Americans do not pay taxes, they, people who don't pay taxes,  have in  effect voted into office those who will run the government, thereby overriding the votes of people who paid for the government to run. Doesn't seem fair,huh?. Simply put,  one group(shareholders) put up some money in a company and another group who happen to be in the copmany are just there, working. Now, it's time to select someone to run the company. Should the group who has no investment in that company be allowed in the selection process? I think not.  So, there your are,  our democratic government  is not perfect, but what is?

Obama wins!  Yes, he has delivered the words, now, he has to deliver the goods. Good luck,  Obama.  I already heard some Obama supporters, and Obama himself, making some excuses, the econom,y, the war, that the the goodies promised may not be delivered  as expected, maybe not even within Obama's 4-year term.  Oh well, have we been hoodwinked? We'll see! 

Clearly, since 40% of Americans do not pay taxes, they, people who don't pay taxes,  have in  effect voted into office those who will run the government, thereby overriding the votes of people who paid for the government to run.

tedgarcia unless you can provide links to back up your statements, it would behoove you to rethink what you right BEFORE you post such nonsense as the above mumble jumble.  sheesh!

Clearly, since 40% of Americans do not pay taxes

This number is plausible, as when you throw in felons, children and others who do not pay taxes, along you might get as high as 40% of the population. What you don't get, of course, is 40% of the electorate.

Your money was petty change compared to the millions per month from these people (Delaware Senator's Constituents):

Delaware: Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae, Bank of America, Wilmington Trust, First USA / Bank One / JPMorgan Chase, AIG, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Barclays plc, GM, Chrysler, Wachovia, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ISDA, and those States with Corporations Incorporated at Delaware.

Source: Delaware, Economy

Over 50% of US publicly-traded corporations and 60% of the Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware;[30] the state's attractiveness as a corporate haven is largely due to its business-friendly corporation law. Franchise taxes on Delaware corporations supply about one-fifth of its state revenue.[31]

I knew this was "in the bag" when he picked the Delaware Senator as his Vice Presidential Canidate and they refused to accept the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

Now maybe the State of Hawai'i won't be considered and treated as a "Foreign Country".  Maybe we can get money for the badly needed steel on steel mass transit system.

Too bad we could not get the votes from our Soldiers in Iraq, due to the Contractors not getting the Absentee Ballots to them, to see how they feel about being at Iraq.  Of course most career military know that their career is dependent on Congress and may end by voting, especially if it is the "wrong" way.  Absentee Ballots are not anynomous and become a matter of Public Record accessable by Congress.

I still wonder where we are going to get the 23% of the US Daily Oil from, after we leave the Northern and Southern Iraqis Oil Fields.  We lost 23% of the US Daily Oil after pre 911, Venezula (attempted overthrow of Chevez by starting a Civil War).  The movie W. hints at this, the documentaries Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist 2 state this as fact. 

I really wonder how he is going to pay for this Bailout mess.  Maybe he can cancel it?  I mean they (bailout babies) are giving bonuses to their employees of the failed Corporations "to retain the best".  I thought it was to help "Mainstreet""Middle Class", not people making an average of $100,000.00.

Today we see how stupid many Americans really are. Electing a man with his shady and unethical past is simply amazing. Guess you people are going to learn the hard way over the next 4 years.

Universal Healthcare = Higher taxes for all

Defense spending will be cut by 25% immediately according to Chairman Frank.

Nancy Pelosi ( as predicted) has already called an emergency session of Congress to pass a 300 billion dollar stimulus package, to be in session next week. = Higher taxes for all.

Taxes for those making over 250k ( such as me) , will go up substantially. Now let's review this one for a moment. I am going to hide most of my companies revenue, starting immediately, so it can't be found. Meaning that regardless of what Obama does, you can't tax what isn't there. Wealthy Americans will do the same, so if money from the wealthy and small business owners is hard to find in order to extract more taxes, what is going to happen next? Answer: Just as with Carter and Clinton, the middle class will have a tax increase too in order to make up the difference.

Not to mention, two of my employees will now lose their jobs so I can break even.

Sorry guys, but you may have not believed the "okey doke", but you sure have been "hoodwinked" . You are about to financially suffer at your own hands.

No, we're about to suffer financially at your hands because you are dishonest enough to "hide most of your company's revenue immediately so it can't be found." 

The selfishness of those you categorize as "wealthy Americans" is pretty pathetic. 

High taxes causes those with a lot of money to hide it or shelter it.  Instead of having a lower RATE and collecting an overall larger of TOTAL taxes, the dems just want to penalize success. 

Steve W in Md,

Either you are incredibly stupid or an incredibly lousy liar.

I am going to hide most of my companies revenue, starting immediately, so it can't be found. Meaning that regardless of what Obama does, you can't tax what isn't there.

Do you really expect us to believe that you would make such a statement on a public forum, knowing that if true you are admitting to tax fraud.  Knowing that the IRS can easily obtain your identity from Newsvine Administration and your ISP.

Not to mention, two of my employees will now lose their jobs so I can break even.

Already, those tax increases won't go into effect until 2010 when Obama lets Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy expire.  Break even or boost your personal bottom line?

National nightmare over? Wait till  socialist Obama and company takes over.

Please stop the hyperbole. It is tiresome and stupid.

Giving a tax cut to the middle class and allowing the bush tax cuts on the rich to expire is NOT socialism.

I'm the master of Vajenya politics on NV and I'm calling Virginia right now -- for Obama.

Take a look at this link and it gives you county by county returns and here's the link to the county breakdown in '04. McCain's only got a 5 pt. advantage in Chesterfield Co. with 80% of the vote in (half Bush's margin in '04), Obama taking Henrico and Obama's taking Roanoke and Danville. Game over.

Obama taking King and Queen startled me.  As did Danville, for that matter.

Oh, my point is far finer than that. The urban/rural split isn't the story in the slightest -- it's the suburban vote primarily the Loudoun, Prince William, Henrico and Chesterfield vote that would decide this race. Obama's leading McCain in Loudoun which Bush carried by 12 pts. In Prince William he's leading by a shade over 3 pts. while Bush carried by 6 pts. In Henrico, the margin is a whopping 12 pts. for Obama while Bush won there by 8 pts. and Chesterfield which Bush carried by 25 pts. McCain's only ahead by 8 pts. with 98% reporting.

Well, the rural bit wasn't entirely why those two counties surprised me; half the people I went to school with are from King and Queen, and I've got family in Danville.  My impression of the areas is far, far redder than how they appear to be voting.

Yes, but I would expect that the black turnout there is very heavy just like it is everywhere else and blacks are a big percentage of the potential vote in Southside.

Hummmm, I am a little surprised South Carolina has gone for McCain?? Since I do not watch television, I will get my news on the net as usual.  Television is boring and basically a dog and pony show.  I prefer to READ instead of watch.  Oh well, just one minor opinion.  I read your biography - it is an awesome thing to see a young person interested in anything other than themselves and trivial pursuits.  The extent to which you delve into this world and it's events is totally wonderful.  I would have loved to have had you in one of my psychology classes!!!!  You would have been the ONE in the class that could NOT be hypnotized!!  That would have been really super.  When I was in school, I was the ONLY one out of 300 that could not be hypnotized by any one. I was told I would have problems in life due to being demanding being in total control of my immediate space - they were correct in this assessment. I appreciate brilliance when and where I find it.  I also enjoy Jack Haung - his description of the opening of the Olympics in China was so graphic - I could almost see the whole show. Mr. Haung is a gifted writer and thinker - the two of you could adequately cover any number of subjects and go up against any noted writers of this day and time. The gift of writing is almost a lost art - we need all of you to keep on shining the light of knowledge into the dark corners of the minds of our people. 

Are any of these surprising?
