    Looks like they still have the set from Hall's Pictorial Weekly back in 1979. No feckin' hologram reporter-girls there.

    No need to be rude. My point was meerly that he has a very firm sentimental attachment to NH, although the recent polls were well in Obamas Favour and he may not have expected to win, it will hurt.


    Its like the time we had that election for student president in school. I voted for myself, but when the results came out it turned out to be the only vote I got. That hurt. Bad.

    Right now BBC are calling it:

    Obama 103 McCain 49.

    They call Obama to win PA, VT, CT, DC, IL, and things are getting a little crazy a little early.

    The real story here is that the Democrats are set to have control of both houses. That effectively means they can pass whatever laws and bills that they want without pandering to Republicans.

    This is huge considering that a lot of people expected Republicans to hold the Senate.

    CNN live just died on me. Perhaps a sign that I should go sleep. Murphy's law says as soon as I do the baby will wake up.

    Yeah PA absolutely has to be in the bag now. I had it marked out for the past half an hour. But BBC are calling fast.
    I wonder if its fast and loose.
    Am I right in thinking that the projected results on states are being shown before the polls close in other states?
