First whole states close in 12 minutes.

[TonyInOhio]

My son is a brand new 2nd. Lt. in the Army. I feel so bad for him tonight. Thank him for me, please, for his service to our country.

I will keep him in my prayers.

[stillonaroll]

And lets not act as if the world has come to an end. The worst he can do in four years is replaces some lefty Supreme Court judges with other lefties. I will go to work tomorrow, and come home. Plan some things I have with my family...etc. We can make it through...we survived a bloody civil war in this country, race riots, etc.

----------------------------------------------------------

That's very well put. Thank you!

I too will get on with life. Hey, what with taxes going up under the incoming Rat administration, I won't bother to work not as much OT in the future. More time for leisure.

[jersey117]

Do the people in rural PA and OH actually think Barack is going to do anything for them? What ever tax money they redistribute is going straight to the inner cities to organize communities. Stupid, stupid people.

[silent_jonny]

LOL!

[retrokitten]

In my local races, we always have Dems running unopposed. How absolutely totally lame is that? I filled in the “No Candidate” dot on at least 4 of them.

Wow really? Even up here we had a couple of republicans running unopposed. Hopefully that stupid constitutional convention thing was defeated.

[DKNY]

Praying with you, SJ.

[Sparky760]

Does anyone else find the rally in Chicago a tad disturbing? I don’t recall ever seeing anything like that for a presidential election...........in the USA..

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I have very few people I can talk to if Obazo wins.
I feel like I don’t have anything in common with them anymore.

[HollyB]

Pete from another thread just posted the Ohio SoS website for tracking the Ohio results.

[Sans-Culotte]

I’m not giving up on OH even though many have. I feel like I’m on the other side of the looking glass. geesh

I agree. It is too early to shit ourselves. Doom and gloom started here as soon as the exit polls were released. Hell, I was halfway drunk in 2000, before they strarted "uncalling" states for Gore. If we lose, we lose. But it's not over til it's over. And even then, if we lose it was probaly due to fraud.

[Leo58]

After the abolition of the fairness doctrine Rush and Laura will be more popular than ever. The difference is we will then have to listen to them on shortwave radios hidden in our basements, behind our bookshelves and in our attacks. We will all tell our grandchildren, in whispers of coarse, stories about the good old days of freedom when we were able to vote and choose our leaders. Those of us that rebel and are discovered will be reprogrammed in the reeducation camps.

[patriot08]

What we need now is a REAL patriot..

[Kitten1]

Speaking of prayers, this passage springs to mind tonight...

Matthew 7:15-20.

[Repub4bush]

My step Daughter just had a baby and went reserve and I pray for all our military now.

This is just shattering to all of us military families!

I feel I am in the twilight zone!

[politicket]

Who is going to do it? It’s game, set, match. They’ve got the WH, the Senate, the House, a majority of governorships and 100,000 lawyers and judges.

The men of our country need to learn to fear God.

These men then need to learn to lead their family in the ways of God. Their wives need to be helpmeets to their husbands. Their children need to learn to obey the fifth commandment.

These men then need to go out and take over their local government from the county level on down.

These men then need to go out and take over their state.

Nothing will change at the Federal level until these things happen.

[PapaBear3625]

Rush was right and all the Rush bashers were wrong.

By keeping Hillary viable longer, it energised the Hillary voters against Obama. If not for that, Obama's win would have been bigger.

[dfwgator]

Does anyone else find the rally in Chicago a tad disturbing?

Reminds me of the torchlight parade in Berlin in 1933 after Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor.

[Tuxedo]

Agree on Perry - but he is our current Governor, and as of right now, I align my citizenship with the Republic of Texas.

[longtermmemmory]

It is like electing Aaron Burr as president.
