Official 2008 US Election Thread - Last Updated 4:16 AM EST

P.S. To the person that asked Obama has over a 7 million vote lead in the popular vote and also cnn.com or yahoo.com or msn.com etc etc for election results.

...and I think that Obama could potentially do serious damage, particularly in the Iraqi area and possibly in the economy (there was one report in which the gathered economists said Obama's plan would "destroy" the American economy) and the list goes on and on.

Don't worry. That's normal. It happens every time a Democrat is brought in after a Republican. When Clinton was elected, certain economists predicted that we'd fall into a deep recession and that the stock market would collapse because taxes were definitely going to be raised. It didn't happen. And it's not going to happen this time, either.

You'll always find bitter supply side proponents out there predicting an economic apocalypse is occurring every time taxes are raised.

LOL way to be nice to that guy. OBAMA is the the one thats gonna do massive damage in Iraq ?! REALLY?! I think the damage has been done by none other then the people getting ready to vacate the White House. SpideR_CentS

Turnabout is fair play. We had to deal with a deluge of conservative gloating in the past two elections. Watching them squirm now that their guy got soundly defeated is most entertaining.

I just wanted to add one thing to this discussion. This was a LANDSLIDE. Not even close. I think its kids or something that don't understand that 52-53% of the popular vote is HUGE. Once they finish North Carolina & Indiana Obama could have over 350 electorial votes. That is a crushing huge victory. And it is the American people who won, because we stood up and took charge of our country again.

Obama will be a horrible president, it'll become apparent when he faces Medvedev of Russia anyhow.

The best part was seeing Sarah Palins tears. Go back to Alaska and never come back. Bread_or_Decide

I hope she never sets foot near the presidency again. She played up to the worst elemnts of the republican supporters. The same people who booed during Mccains speech and who are trying to convince us i the thread that "obama will be a terrible president" despite voting for bush twice

She is the very reason the republicans lost big. She represents the bitter religious zealouts who govern a country by telling people what is and what isn't American and patriotic. She's the tumor thats grown from the Bush administration and it was nice to see America cut her off and reject her way of doing politics. Enough with these kinds of conservatives. I want to see a republican run without any of this nonsense and maybe one day they can earn my vote.

We re-elected him, too. ;)septemberluc

and you learned from your mistakes and didn't vote republican a third time. "Ultimate-Playa" is incapable of such logic

Also highest voter turnout in history etc

So I was listening to the radio and apparently Bush in 04 had more votes than Obama....blackngold29

that would be hard to believe considering this was the highest voter turnout in history and Obama won by a landslide

does fox have a radio channel?

Not according to the popular vote on MSNBC now (62,771,907) vs 62,040,610 for Bush. And all of Obama's votes haven't even been counted yet.

Gore won the popular vote. Kerry didn't.

Glad to be of service. :P

You guys are gonna be more angry at Obama in four years than you were at Bush. Obama economics is literally going to cause our economy to collapse followed by a massive global collapse. Lets just hope that Obama doesn't make his tax plan retroactive. Wouldn't that be fun. Change is coming. Trust me it is coming haha.

Please stop talking. The majority of people agree in Obama being the best person to lead the U.S. let alone the fact that the majority of the world dislikes the U.S. BECAUSE of the republican party and what's it's done for the past 8yrs. I know you and other Repubs think you know better than the WORLD but ummm yeah.... Obama will bring the ecomony back, help the states safe face around the world but also gain respect in the foreign department.

And not shocked about Prop 8 looking to go through. Sad...

Wow....you really have drank all the koolaid. What will you say when none of what you claim happens? Which it won't.

And everything you say will? :lol:

Please just stop.

Kerry won the popular vote. It was a conservative channel, but they aren't making numbers up...blackngold29

looks like they are

who'd have thought that tyou'd be hearing falsehoods from a Republican news source. Fair and balanced!

Anyway, it looks like more people voted in the Kerry vs. Bush election.Jandurin

Hmm...That is surprising.

If there are still 4% left, thats between 4 and 5 million votes, right? I wonder if that will put it over.

Well obama won i hope you morons that voted for him are happy. sigh i just wished people looked more at his policys and moralas then this so called change what a load of crapGhost_On_Crack

Hey, welcome to Gamespot. Maybe try assembling some constructive/intelligent posts from now on...
