Well today is election day.

Currently Obama is ahead 15 votes to 6 votes since a town of 21 registered voters has had their votes counted first.

A lot of interesting things happened the final night before election day. They may or may not lead to any changes.

1. Palin was cleared of any wrongdoing in the "trooper gate" situation.

2. Palin released her health records and is in "excellent health".

3. Obama's grandmother died.

4. All candidates were out late campaigning.

5. Nader's name was actually mentioned for a few seconds on late nght comedy shows, thus reminding that he even exists.

6. Many Reverend Wright commercials were aired nationwide. Tennessee is not a swing state and yet I saw the commercial at least 4 times during Jay Leno and Conan O'brien.

Most signs point to Obama winning. That's how it seems. I guess we'll get a better idea whether or not the polls have been accurate when we see the results. It "seems" like a lot of people want Obama to win, but I'm just unsure if polls can be trusted when they sample about 1,000 out of millions. It's kind of a joke that they then give margin of error, as if they know what it could be! Obama could really get 80% of the total vote or he could get 20%. The margin of error procedure is quite stupid.

Either way approximately half of the U.S. is going to be majorly disappointed at the final results and I am wondering if there will be riots no matter who wins.

Judging by state polls, McCain has a decent chance of winning. However, some say those are usually old and the popular opinion seems to be largely in favor of Obama. I guess it all comes down to which states each candidate's main supporters are in. For example, if 90% of a big state liked one candidate, then the candidate could lose despite winning popular vote.

Well I already voted.

By the way already there is an incident. McCain has filed something because apparently Virginia didn't mail out millitary ballots by the date they were supposed to and it could cause thousands of people to not get their votes counted.

edit: lol how humorous. Ayers and Obama voted within minutes of each other at the same place today. Also Obama told a crowd in VA yesterday it was his last stump speech of his campaign and yet today he is in Indiana.

Well Obama won. Looks like a landslide in electoral votes, close in popular vote.

What's interesting to me is in Missouri out of millions of votes there is a differential of less than 400 votes at the moment! That state sure ended up close. Looks like McCain will end up winning that one and thus this will be the second time in history where the Missouri winner did not win the election.

Also interesting is that Obama was blowing out McCain early on in Texas and yet McCain won the state by nearly 1 million votes in the end. And then in some states the opposite happened, with McCain elading pretty big and then losing them.

I personally think the election process should be changed and simply do a popular vote. It makes no sense in current times to let some states have more say than others. I think their electoral votes are based off of past populations, not current ones! And notice that New York and California did not vote in numbers so much greater than other staes that they should be having almost 100 combined electoral votes which automatically go to one party each year.

I guess it's now time to wait for the "inevitable manufactured test" which Biden said will be laid out to Obama by terrorist nations right off the bat. lol

The first thing they should do is change the voting day to a Saturday or Sunday.

Others have suggested that also. It was originally done on Tuesdays where people could travel by horseback and get there to vote without possibly having to travel on Sundays.

Shocker that Obama is already coming out and sayinghe's going to do controversial things which he never went into detail with during the campaign. His staff revealed that he is going to have Guantanamo prisoners shipped to the U.S. for trials. There have also been several other things already mentioned which he clervely kept hidden during his campaign. (well kept it hidden from some people anyway).
