  • Graeme Edgeler,

    By the way, at some stage someone is going to have to acknowledge Howard Dean in all this.

    You mean someone here? MSNBC was doing that shtick hours ago…

    Its a real pity the NZ election isn’t this exciting?

    Anyone read the 100 day action plan at NZX blog or the Nat 100 day plan?

    I have some very excited friends in the DC commuter belt in Virginia. Go blue, Virginia! Go blue!

    It’s looking real likely. CNN has him about 50 thousand ahead there now with 90% of precincts in.

    Both N Carolina and Indiana are McCain at present, but not by much. Indiana will probably go McCain, too early to call on NC.

    Florida is gone to Obama but they’re all too scared to call it. He’s a couple of hundred thousand ahead there with 3/4 of the vote in.

    Obama in the White House can’t be ignored.

    Well, Bill English is a big fan, obviously.

    I’m quite liking how the NYT’s Presidential Big Board somewhat resembles the health bar from Street Fighter.

    Gets my vote as the best of the interactive results apps i’ve seen so far.

    CRITICAL HIT!

    Here’s Little Green Footballs commentary, for the edification of future generations:

    “The stupid fucks that vote for Obama deserve what they get. 12% unemployment, Dow under 5K, terrorist attacks on American soil, $200/bbl oil. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to deal with it too. The bell curve is wrong; more than 50% of all people are of below average intelligence”

    Oh, I love it. I love it so much.
