Is there an offical pointless election banter thread anywhere?

What can I say: Well done, America.

In the words of David Crosby, "It\'s been a long time coming."

Well, I was going to be bummed either way. I\'m feeling depressed.

Found out how to write-in a candidate. Yee-haw

I am not so hopeful about whoever gets this presidency. But then again, not many presidents have done the job well since Taft.

how do you feel about throwin your vote away?

:no:

its a good day and i called it right from the start. now lets see what happens from here. it can\'t get much worse

2) One of the polling facilities in Providence was shut down because a white powdery substance was found under one of the tables, of course making people jump to the conclusion that it\'s anthrax.  (Personally, i think it\'s just a coke-head...I mean, look at the area of the facility).  Then it was announced that a man was rushed to the hospital.  (Wouldn\'t doubt it if he was the coke-head and just OD).
 

God I hate this city.

Hopefully it\'s not mine, because the place i did my primary vote was a ghetto-r-us housing development.

I don\'t think they said the exact location...but if they did i didn\'t care enough to pay attention.  i was just thinking that i felt bad for the people that get there and realize they need to go somewhere else instead.  hope everyone makes it in time to cast their ballots.

After hearing about long lines all day, even worse in cities, I brought a book with me to vote.

Then felt like an idiot when I walked into an empty gym, and all the election workers and I had a good laugh.

After close to a decade of despising a president that I didn\'t vote for, I\'m interested to see how rusty my critical eye will be for a man I wanted to be elected.

President elect Obama inherits the worst ecomony this country has seen in decades and a dispicable war built on lies. I\'m really interested to see what I\'ll be complaining about in 4 years.  I sure hope it\'s oral sex in the oval office.

Pretty dynamic speech in Chicago last night. Hope some of you watched it.
All this bullshit ain\'t going away in 4 years but I think/hope we\'re on the right track.
History was made last night and I\'m proud to have done my part.
We\'ve given Obama a real chance to make a difference let\'s hope he uses it well.

PALMIERI FOR PRESIDENT in 2012. 1st Ginzo in the White House!

Dem\'s have control of the House and Senate too.  They need a sense of urgency, and attainable goals.  The Dems had all 3 from 1992-1994, but things stalled and Newt Gingrich and Co. took Congress in 1994.  

Voters are fickle. They need to work fast.

Does this mean this thread will close for 2 years now?

They should replace Nancy Pelosi with someone else.  Someone a little more aggressive... mmmmm like Hillary.

It might be tough for a Senator to become Speaker of the House.

But what the hell?  We\'re in charge now.  We\'ll do whatever we want Dick Cheney style.

Hey America! At last, we have a President who can read! Well, something other than My Pet Goat, that is.

The biggest crock of bullshit I saw last night, and which made me sick to my stomach, was the ignorance shown so openly when John McCain came on stage to congratulate Obama for winning. When the whole crowd boo\'ed. I couldn\'t believe it. Yeah they wanted McCain, but they didn\'t get him. Tough shit. Don\'t boo you non-patriotic fools. Now, McCain did have a dignified speech and he took it all very well. That\'s the only thing that saved the moment.

Before it was even announced I saw an interview with Rudy Goulianni. He said that he was obviously gunning for McCain, but if Obama won, he would do his duty as an American and support Obama 100%. I thought that was really cool. That\'s what everyone should do. No matter who won, support your president to the fullest until you have reason to otherwise. A blatant disregard to the US people as we have been shown numerous times over the last 8 years has caused us to be the way we are to the current president, what\'shisname. It didn\'t start that way, but it sure as hell has ended that way.
