Obama's new catchphrase -

"Tá a rinne muid" !

For those who haven't a word of Irish and can't be fecked checking Google Translate -

"Yes we did" !

IMHO if the state electoral votes were divided based on how the people voted (proportional, like in Ireland) then it would be much more fair. Everyone would feel that that their vote would count no matter where they lived.

That sounds better, but why not just a direct popular vote? The guy (or gal) with more votes wins?

Ever heard of the "bitter end"? Some people concede quickly, others want to hold on until all the votes are counted, does it matter either way?

I suppose not buy it just seems a bit bratty, if you lost fair and square then you lost. McCain conceded quickly, I understand that was a landslide but, he was honerable and generous about the whole thing, I have had great respect for him both before and since then.

Also I want to see the concession speech, especially since he was so arrogant he never wrote one.

I take your point, but this election is definitely closer than 2008. Wait a little longer, Romney will concede in his own good time...

McCain had already delivered his concession speech by this time. Quit being a dick Romney

Isn't it dickish to tell someone to "quit being a dick"?

Are you whinging? You're dampening the celebrations. Grab yourself a beer, and cheer.

The conservative, racist, prejudiced, wealthy, religious fanatics lost!!! They lost 'legitimately'.

Why can't they accept that, 'god intended it'?

Look at my original post about the system, I stated that Gore should have won in 2000 because he had more of the popular vote. Disagreeing is not whinging, and I'm not going to grab a beer because the White House continues in the hands of someone who has allowed US debt to bloat massively in just 4 years, not that his predecessor was any better.

Official: Romney is still finishing up his concession speech, aides admitting he only prepared an acceptance speech.

I may as well see this out now, but I know I'm gonna regret in about 4 hours when I am in college! Great night though, nothing like a US election. Have to say CBS news did a great job, been following them on ustream all night.

That's gibberish. If you're going to try to be funny then at least get the translation right...
