Who would you vote for? - Tonight is the night

I'm just about to leave work. I hope to all hell that when I get back here in 7 hours that I'm not looking at a page declaring McCain the overall winner.

OK I'm out.

Obama has won simply becuase he's not terrifying and the Republicans can not keep the economy anywhere near stable.

The minute the economy went south, the US went mental for Obama.

I'm off to sleep as I don't think I can stick Hitchens for another hour, prefer him in little bits.

Suchet, however, has just described Pennsylvania as 'the long flat bit above the two red bits.' Thats enough for me

Sure and then he should have the lead he deserves. Having .1% advantage in the votes but almost triple the EC votes is nonsense! But the west will even things out and make it more representative.

The Toon army has taken Northern Uzbekistan, this is a bomb shell !!

Where is Hitchens on !!??

He was on BBC1 for 10 minutes ?

tell me ! I want Hitchens !

Again, another win for you.

edit to add - i was just taking issue with the idea that black people are doomed to jail. I don't think that statistics should be used that way.

Tynan's taken some amphetamines.

Apparently an "inside source" from the McCain camp says they are going to lose Florida.

Thank god if its true as it's over and I can sleep!

yeah I am seeing that everywhere online and they are saying it on various news programs

They've both got 11 million votes, but Obama has 175 to 61 on the Electoral College .. what is the electoral college, what's the significance?

'used that way' ?

I was just stating a figure that is thought to reflect reality, you can play with it however you wish, cry and say it is not so if that feels good to you !

second that

What have you got against Obama ?

You fucking racist, why don't you grow some balls, you just want to see all *black people *(your words not mine, I would never say 'black' because I am not a racist) put in prison.

You shameless racist.

Go McCain (and Obama).

what?

OK for those who dont understand I shall explain it simply

basically in each state there are a certain amount of electoral colleges depending on the population of that state. If a candidate wins that state they get all the electoral colleges.

second that

The electoral system was put in place to stop the disenfranchisation of rural America.

OHIO !!!!!!!

OOOOOO

20 EL points !!!!!!

Fuck !!!!!!

what?

Racist.

i just wanted to know what the electoral college vote meant

'used that way' ?

I was just stating a figure that is thought to reflect reality, you can play with it however you wish, cry and say it is not so if that feels good to you !

Thought to reflect which reality? What are the assumptions?

If it assumes a reality in which one in three black kids goes to prison, then of course it's going to confirm that assumption.

What if it assumes a reality in which black families get richer, go to college more and become more politically empowered? Would the results be the same?

P.S I studied this stuff as a degree (BA American Studies) and it confuses the fuck out of me (oh P.S I dropped out of the degree)
