Election 2008

Based on two days of early voting, 23/6 projects that Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States

In the end, McCain-Palin carried only the idiot belt

Early voting has begun in seven states, including Florida, Texas, Colorado and Nevada. And via First Read, Nevada political guru Jon Ralston has the numbers: "Of the 25,000-plus who voted early, 15,644 were Democrats and 5,721 were Republicans."

Therefore, according to our calculations, 23/6 is prepared to announce that:

BARACK OBAMA HAS WON THE ELECTION AND IS THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

So let the pre-post-mortems begin. For instance:

Where did it go wrong for McCain?

When will he concede?

Why hasn't he conceded?

Is the reason he hasn't because he's going to mount a legal challenge, or because he's still kind of a dick?

Will Cindy increase his allowance to stop the forthcoming rage-filled tirade when he sees our announcement?

How soon will Obama appear with Bill Ayers and announce that the whole country has to be "radical" now?

When will the Obama backlash begin? (right now!)

When will the backlash to the backlash begin? (five minutes)

How soon will Levi Johnston called off his "engagement" to Bristol Palin?

Why isn't Willow Palin pregnant yet?

Who was Todd Palin again?

When will Sarah Palin's reality show be announced?

What will her signature tag line be when she kicks a contestant off the show? (Our sources tell us the leading candidate is: "I've decided to abort you.")

So that's it folks. It's all over. You're going to have to find something else to do with your lives. Go back to your loved ones. If you still have any.

Yes.

It's time we started talking about repealing the 22nd Amendment (Presidential term limits). Barack Obama will be only 56 years old when he completes his second term. He'll still have a lot to give the country. And the last time we had a Democratic President forced out by term limits, we got W.
These things take time -- let's start the repeal of the 22nd Amendment today!

DD - Yes, they did do this joke before. I remember now. It was a parody of 538. Anyone who liked this one should take the time to look that post up. It was better.

Nice. When will Mccain present a 239 page report proving that Mickey Mouse destroyed the fabric of democracy and blew his election?

Didn't someone already get in trouble for having his election blown?

wish you guys held off until nov 5 for this kind of news. it makes it easy for folks to ease off the pressure and no one should take this campaign for granted. the bad guys are alert, mean, devious, shitty, unpatriotic, power hungry and they are not celebrating anything yet. let's not fall for good polls, they might not be accurate. please.

Why would anyone want to be a Republican anyway unless they have mental problems?

I love people who answer their own questions. Especially when I end up getting credit for it.

Really? I had, "Thanks, but no thanks."

Haha... You see that gap between Alaska and Arizona? That's what Todd and Levi have to look at every day. It's like throwing a hot dog in a tunnel.
