Is it going to be a landslide or a late night?

[southernleftylady]

What are your predictions about election night? Just wondering :)

[electron_blue]

1. landslide

[mckara]

2. If Our Youngsters and New Voters Vote: Landslide

If not, late night results.

[underseasurveyor]

3. It's going to be a landslide

but the networks will draw it out as long as they can. OOO feel the suspense. Who's it gonna be? OOO

[Virginia Dare]

4. Landslide, McCain concession speech by midnight.....n/t

[SoCalDem]

29. Y'think he'll stay up that late?

:)
If Va & NC go Obama, he'll HAVE to concede

Is there ANYONE who thinks Obama can;t come up with FOUR stinking EC votes from all the others in gray??

5. Early night: results from EST states VA, FL, PA will seal the deal

Of course I'm on the West Coast so I expect to have a pretty good idea of how the night will go as early as 6:00 PM local time

[Parche]

6. Virginia, Virginia, Virginia

That is my prediction

:woohoo: :hi:

[onenote]

7. depending on how many states end up extending their voting hours, could be a relatively late night

There is a move to get Virginia to extend voting hours until as late as 10 pm. If that was to succeed, the networks wouldn't be able to call VA until 10 pm and I doubt that they'll call the election before VA has finished voting.

Here's a question: in the past there has been controversy over the networks calling a national election while the polls are still open on the west coast. However, as I recall, the networks take the position that they will call individual states as the polls in those states close. If the electoral total from states that have voted exceeds the magic number, they'll call the whole election even if west coast states are still voting.

9. virginia will be...

too close to call until 11pm when the west coast closes - then they will call the election for Obama!

[speedoo]

8. landslide. nt

[Breeze54]

10. L*A*N*D*S*L*I*D*E !!!

:woohoo: :toast: :bounce: :woohoo:

:D

:hi:

PS. From a Northern Yankee !! :P

[billyoc]

11. 8 pm and out.

As soon as they call Florida for Obama, it's over.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Hoping early night, expecting a nail biter well after election night

yes, go ahead and call me cynical;

But we are talking voter suppression here

[olshak]

13. I think it will be official...

...as of about 11pm Central. It may be a foregone conclusion by then, but that's when 270 will be surpassed.

[opihimoimoi]

14. Been saying it for months....Landslide Extraordinaire

The people are tired of Rich, Church, and Selfish Pols running/ruining their lives

[Ioo]

15. Judges will Order East Coast Polls stay open...Huge Turn out. 12:05 called.

[w8liftinglady]

16. it may BE a landslide,but I think

they will drag it out as long as possible...the networks won't disclose poll numbers until after midnight in key states.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

17. We really need that youth vote this time. No more slackers.

[jobycom]

18. They'll call it by noon.

[Dhalgren]

19. A crushing landslide - of biblical proportions

Did you see the Obama commercial last night? McCain is going to need a drool cup before this is over...

[deepthought42]

20. either way...

I've got the beer and hard liquor on hand... hoping for a landslide!

[Poll_Blind]

21. Mark my words: I really think it's going to be both. I think that.....

...it's going to start out with overwhelming good news for Obama but by later in the evening I really feel like the Republican machine is going to be hip-deep in dirty tricks, stalling. I think by the morning of Nov. 5th there will be two different types of TV stations: Those who are running with Obama has been elected and those like Fox which will be pushing the "uncertainty" meme including "Oh, you can't count your chickens before they're hatched!"

  I feel that the Repigs will very likely try to cast a pall over Election day festivities in any way possible.

  I expect two things: That the Repig dirty tricks machine will be in high gear and that the Repig nut cases will be in Heaven's Gate mode.

22. ack! you are making me so nervous lol I wish this was over already...

and in our favor :)

[Poll_Blind]

27. Don't worry, we'll still win (if we vote, that is)- they're going to act...

...like assholes nomatter what so there's no need to worry. This is all expected.

25. If they are in Heaven's Gate mode they will be dead.

23. L A N D S L I D E

[Avalux]

24. Landslide. The closer we get, the more I believe it.

I am allowing myself to feel good about it (although it makes me uncomfortable).

[LSK]

26. not late, PA and VA results should be in somewhat early

And FL and OH and IN.

Too many states can put Obama over 270 for it to go very late.

[southernleftylady]

30. Thanks for that insight! ;) nt
