You scored 20 out of a possible 30

Good work. You know your stuff (but aren't obsessed by the campaign).


Im sure I missed most of the "Where did McCain vist..." questions.

Yeah, he's going to win by a very wide margin.

i've been hearing in key battleground states (Ohio, Penn, and Virginia) that there has been black panther intimidation.


I was watching CNN earlier and they interviewed one African-American about why he and his friends were voting obama and he said change. When the guy asked what kind of change was he hoping for he goes "change for the future, we just need the change, we gotta have change and hope and that stuff, obama does that." Then when the guy asked what policies he likes of obama he goes, "he wants change."

The last poll on Prop 8 has it losing 50-45%. I'm hopeful but doubtful, if that makes any sense.

the only prop down here in Arkansas i'm very interested about is Prop Intiative 1. It's a prop that would only allow married couples to adopt children.

This is utter insanity...


Dems' Election Day Message: Our First Responsibility Is to Appease Republicans


http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=9693

that's not appeasing republicans. Why the fuck wouldn't he put republicans in his cabinet? If he really wants to be bipartisan he should.

I agree and he has said he is very willing to do that and he doesn't look at as appeasing. Yeah there are some extreme liberals on the left who won't like it though.

The Change We Need?

Gosh, I only got 16/30.

In my defense, some of those questions were pointless. Who cares how long Obama's book has been on the bestseller list or what month/year McCain had financial troubles. That's just cheesy!

Um I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack before tonight. I AM SO NERVOUS OHHH MY GAHHHHH

This is potentially the most important day of my life.

It's not like we're electing Martin Luther King Jr. here. Calm down.

I don't think it's being bipartisan either. It's about the best person for the job. I can see him definitely being open to a Chuck Hagel or Colin Powell in his cabinet. I'd be fine with those guys.

Hagel is a great man. As i've said many times on the board. A true republican.

I thought he mentioned Richard Luger before as well.

352 - 186

I think 31 electoral votes will be hotly contested in Ohio and Missouri, but it won't matter.

I got a 20/30 on that Guardian quiz thing, but most of it was pure guessing...

Don't down play the history here. Realize just 150 years ago African-Americans were mostly enslaved and just 50 years ago most of them couldn't vote because of the poll tax nonsense. This election is historic and if Obama wins it will remembered in the history book for centuries.

Get your free starbucks drink, free 3 children strips from Chick fil a and I think a free donut from Krispy Kreme and then go somewhere with no televisions for about two hours.

Yeah its boring right now, just hearing pundits talk.

Massachusetts question that is labeled Repeal the State Income Tax. If this doesn't pass these people must be stupid. I can't imagine people actually have a choice whether to pay taxes or not pay taxes and go ahead and mark Yes (I want to continue paying this tax).

Just voted. A little crowded, but not too many people. Maybe 30 or so, which is more than the election day in 2006 and during the primary back on May 13th. But I went fairly late, pretty sure the majority have already voted, and I know early voting was popular here. I asked if turnout was going well, and one of the poll workers told me it was very high.
