[easternblackman]

Joe is funny as fuck esp in the morning when you blazing and he makes sense most of the time

[tishhead]

this was actually the moment obama became president. where are you now, kenneth blackwell?

[Maraz480]

Was Joe wearing a blue tie...ha-ha!!!

[Konig1985]

perhaps he'll win Washington, Oregon and HaWAii - buuuuuuut I dOUbt it"

His demeaning tone is simply hilarious!

[TGW5555]

When he won Ohio it was over period.

[kunzy3000]

TEXAS go BLUE 012

[Smackdown5]

Texas Goes BLUE! Hell Yeah! lol

I hope Obama wins in 2012 and whips the GOP even further into darkness!

[XJuanwikoX]

@kunzy3000 No , I think it would take 2016 or 2020 for that to happen.

[derail14]

I bet joe was a very depressed after that night, what a scum bag asshole.

[Tozyea]

I saw Obama the Sunday before the election in Columbus, Ohio. I was 10 rows back right in front of the podium. The crowds were passionate. Shouting YES WE CAN!

Watching Him win Ohio was beautiful. I was so thrilled and happy! I knew it was over then. I was lookin at Virginia. thinking why did he jumped to 195? then when I saw that my state was blue on the CNN map i was going nuts. I was looking out for 13 votes and saw he got 20. WOW!

[westside159]

Yeah when he won Ohio i knew it was over then , thats what i was saying real loud that night . he won Ohio yes ..

[jmd8pb]

When he won Pennsylvania, I knew it was over.

[1prouddemocrat]

jmd8pb, so did I. Especially since MSNBC called Pennsylvania RIGHT AT 8 (the closing time). That NEVER happens until the Democratic candidate is kicking butt.

[DiverseLA]

It wasn't necessarily over, it was one of those states that if McCain won, it would look good for him throughout. If he lost, it would've been tough but Penn was supposed to be a state to go Democrat anyways. Ohio was what broke McCain's chances.

[StrongAmerica]

HOW CAN 63 MILLION PEOPLE BE FOOLED?

[gkarametsis]

Strong America, 63 million people have NOT been fooled - they're eyes are wide open. The mess your country is in right now, guess what?? wasn't Obama who done it.

[lawman593]

your right, it was slick fuckin willy... A Democrap

[7boon]

How come 62 million people were fooled in 2004 then?

[trfan84]

You mean 58 million McCain supporters??? Obama won 67 million votes!

[StrongAmerica]

It's only 63 million. It doesn't matter

53% of voters were fooled, 46% were not

[Worrier316]

It's now 69 million votes for Obama. Obama has got the most votes EVER.

[TavernWenchBlog]

Winning Ohio was the most exciting moment of the night!!!!!

[missfed1]

The most exciting moment ever!

I stood up until 5 un the morning to hear the news!(I'm Italian)

Go Obama and forget Berlusconi.

He's such an insensitive guy!

[johnkerry7]

i remember when Ohio went to Obama turning to my brother and saying "thats it. Its over. the man on the left of the screen is your next President of the United States" :)

that moment was very sureal*

:)

Go Obama

[mmayfield6499]

Im trying to find the Fox news clip when Obama won Ohio, Humes and Roves reaction.

[pbvore]

I would love to see this - that's what I'm looking for, too. Hopefully it's online somewhere!

[7boon]

Fox was utterly PWNED when Ohio was called.

[BenAliGtor]

I got the news that Obama took Ohio when I flipped to Faux news and heard it from Britt Hume & Karl Rove.

I must say, the irony was delicious!

[IseeSugar42]

Damnit I want to find the actual clip of whats-his-face calling it. Where he says "MSNBC news projects that Ohio goes to senator Barack Obama"

The tension I had during that sentence was incredible.

[kingjames712]

I flipped over to FOX News just to watch the look on Brit Hume's face when Obama was announced the winner in Ohio.

The race was over; the republicans at the FOXNews studios knew it. It was like a funeral; you could almost hear people crying overe the sound of crickets chirping. It was THAT quiet. It was as if a suicide watch was in effect. I'm surprised S. Hannity is still alive.

Utter hopelessness on the faces of the anchors...dispair. Now they know how I felt in 2000 and 2004.

[rkhobo]

HA! Figures. FOX is nothing more than a station for the conservative right! Thank god Obama won.

[Tozyea]

Too damn funny! to bad Rush Limbaugh and Hannity didn't jump out the window.

[Worrier316]

Scarborough is such a jackass.

[glory789]

What did he say here that makes him a jackass? Wasn't he right?

[WayneInSF]

Why? Because he was right. That was really the point of no return for Obama. And later in the evening Florida WAS called for him.

[BakedSouse]

Ah.. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! AAAh... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[recota316]

i agree lol

[highwater03]

This was the state I was waiting for. After Obama won PA, if McCain lost either OH or FL, it was game over pretty much.

[slystaff777]

Exactly. After Pennsylvania you knew McCain had a steep uphill climb..but you always knew that if Obama were to win either Ohio or Florida in addition to this it would be all over.

[johnstja]

Sorry haters, he is president elect. Funny how the hatred comes from losers, and you are all losers in more than one way!!!!!!!!!!

[69khz]

I just fired all Obama supporters from my companies. They can go on welfare now.. Fuck them!

[mostecri]

wrong i fired you first,

sucker

go find a job

[highwater03]

lol

Nice bitter rant. You don't even have companies!

[chromatic2006]

Haha no you didn't. You'd get sued and shut down.

You don't even own a company. Kids can say anything on the internet.

[harrah5]

69khz.......you are a stupid bigot

[IseeSugar42]

You do realize they can sue you for that? Every single one of them?

[SestrenNK]

A salute to ol' America.

[PatriotMcCain]

;-(

[PatriotMcCain]

My step-father has his own business down in Florida and has already figured out that he'll have to lay off 12 people to cope with the extra costs of the Obama socialist/reparations/welfare taxes; they all do a good job and couldn't determine who to lay off, so he went to the parking lot, saw the worker cars and decided to fire those with an "Obama" sticker on the bumper.

Only serves them well! They voted for the socialist in office? They pay the fucking economic consequences! It's only justice.

[angryamerican]

Obama is going to pay for their gas and mortgages anyways right?

Ugh!

Freaking uninformed morons have put the most unqualified and corupt man into power in the history of America!

God help us all!

[SestrenNK]

Well, when you consider many of the most sick, lazy, shameless, perverted and corrupt people I've had the disgrace of meeting and hearing about preferred him over any other candidate, in a way it's not surprising. Still, what the hell.

[cjh8]

Bad move. You don't know for sure what Obama's going to do until he actually gets into office. What he says during a campaign is different from the specifics of his true intentions, not to mention how conditions may be different come 1/20. Your step-father may've very well laid off people for nothing.

[TheTrillz]

Why? I guess we dont want capitalism.

[Soldier0016]

true that

[Funkbook]

Watching in Glasgow, Scotland - drunk like most of Europe - and hoping this is the turning point. I hope all Americans realise how important this is to the entire world. There are people in Eritrea, Papua New Guinea, Shetland, bloody Antarctica, that are watching this and expecting America to take its rightful place as the leader of a planet that's desperate for a visionary to take control of the mess we're in.
