I get crap reception here at KKK headquarters in Kentucky.

FIRST!

I've always wanted to do that.

*smirk*

I'm watching CNN just for you, K....I'm probably missing Huck commentary on Fox for you...you'd better remember that.

Haha, almost first!

Most right voters don't respond to exit polls.

Are you in the studio with Wolf and all those TV pundits?

Crap.

I'm virtually in traction-nothing to do but sit at my keyboard-that comment should have been mine.

:-(

you gotta be super speedy to beat me here! And K - where are you?? I don't see you yet :(

Are you in the studio with Wolf and all those TV pundits?

No, I'm at something called CNN Grill. Cindy Adams is the only person around that I recognize but I hear there are a bunch of journalists here. And Ken Wheaton. Did I mention Ken Wheaton? Apparently at some point I'm to go talk to someone with a camera. I'll keep you guys posted.

"Ken Wheaton - only in New York, kids!"

Can someone please hologram Ken Wheaton into this blog?

Good gawd, chicks. Who gives a shite about ken wheaton.

What kind of sheet r u wearing Ari? I've got my starched dress white on.

BTW, partial vote totals don't mean a thing unless you know the voting patterns of the counties they come from.

Why are reporters still interviewing that schmuck, Elliot Spitzer?

Everything's looking pretty good for the Redistributionist so far.

Florida is lookin bad for mccain

Dole and Sunnunu have both lost, according to ABC.

Very early hours here. I am reminded of a soccer commentary clip from Norwegian TV when Norway beat England. Look it up, it's hilarious.

Casca - it's a virginal white, super crisp with the faintest scent of outdoors and fire.

The funniest graphic so far:

U.S. Senate: Maine

3 votes, not 3 counties, or cities.

Go with your gut on this one. They just called PA for the Chosen One. At some pt, some snotty CNN reporter is going to ask you how it feels to have the One as your next President. It will not end well.

I don't know. Bob Shrum isn't managing Obama's campaign. I'm pretty certain that ensures his election.

IC, on the PA election site it says, right on top:

"312 out of 9,293 Districts (3.36%) Reporting Statewide"

It's not over.

Tatyana:

It's over. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Pour yourself a drink and start looking forward to Palin '12.

this is going to be a blowout.

HUCK 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....get on the bandwagon

Poured two already. If I keep up this pace, 4 years will swoosh real quick. I think.

are you serious? "deserves this win"?
I'd tell you what he deserves, but my stock of English invective is very limited.

good night. Tomorrow is another day.

OMG! The oceans are totally lowering.

Good news.

Scott Garrett, one of my favorite officeholders, is going to be re-elected.

I'm still hoping that NY ICE's friend Lou Barletta and William Russell win later tonight.

Obama won the game as it is played, and therefore yes, he deserved to win.

Now's the time to look at how the game is played, and change it where we can. Ferret out the voter fraud, document it, and make sure it doesn't happen again. Close the sieve that is the anonymous sub-$200 donation scam. (Get rid of McCain-Feingold while we're at it. How'd that work out, Johnny-boy?)

Finally, make the Republican party serious about its core values, so it doesn't end up running "the best available Democrat" against the card-carrying kind next time. Because the fourth estate will always fall in line behind the "D", no matter how much smooze has gone under the bridge.

Palin in 2012. Start now.

I don't see how we'll get 'em next time. Obama had the most compliant media possible. We never saw his medical records, college transcripts, etc. I think that the system will be more rigged than ever in 2012.

This sarah palin stuff is nonsense...she's not qualified to be president now and I highly doubt she'll be ready in 2 years to run again.

stop the insanity.

New Yorkers should be really excited about an Obama presidency.

New York, of all states, is singularly dependent upon the fortunes of Wall Street.

Raising the Capital Gains and Dividend taxes will lower the values of stocks, and overall depress the market. Being almost wholly dependent upon the profits of Wall Street, New York State and City stand to take a major hit.

Increased federal income taxes on individuals essentially takes money that was going to be invested and puts it towards government programs. Less stock market value, more hits for New York.

New York's state and various local governments have made lavish pension promises to it's civil servants (who make up almost 20% of state employment). Most (if not all) of those pension funds were underfunded BEFORE the market tanked. Failure of the Stock Market to recover will cause billions more to come out of general funds to shore up pension funds, all while seeing the afore-mentioned reduction in stock market activity (which will mean less tax revenue for New York State and local governments).

All this means dramatically less money in the general funds for cops, firemen, roads, transit, etc.

This doesn't even address New York civil servants "health care for life" that they have been guaranteed.

New Yorkers appear set to have voted 2-1 for Obama.

Be careful what you wished for, New York. I'm quite sure you're not going to like it.

We could very well see a return of the New York of Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" fame. It could get that bad as we can't afford to hire any new cops, and unemployment rises.

If Obama treats the press as he has in his trivial moments of adversity once he's President, when things go really pear-shaped the press will turn on him just like it did on Carter.

I really hope I'm wrong about Obama, but he strikes me as the type of personality that gets eaten by the office.

Bad Luck Karol. Time enough for other comments.

God bless Mr. Obama and Sen. McCain for his many years of service to this republic.

Hubris and Nemesis. We heard in 1992 that things had realigned. And look what happened in 1994. We heard in 2004 that we had a permanent Republican majority. How's it treating Chris Shays, Libby Dole and "our next president" George Allen? Listening to Douglas Brinkley on CBS and he gushed about realignment. I'm not sure.

After big wins in American politics, the wheel turns quickly. FDR's big triumph of 36 led to disasters in 37. LBJ overreached after his victory in 1964. Clinton overreached after 1992. Bush clearly bungled after his big wins in 2002 and 2004. I wonder if Obama will do the same thing-he faces some major problems, two wars and financial problems.

I love big juggs! Big juggs in 2012!!

See that?

Huckabee already has some stiff competition for the GOP nod.

The Force is strong with this Mark Polling dude.

Alas, it's deja vu all over again. In '76, times were tough. We were damaged by slinking away from SEA; running a President out of office; the sucking chest wound of OPEC & petrodollars; and a meglomaniacal adversary only a generation out of the gulag. Seems a lot like then. This mulatto foreigner will be twice as entertaining as that stupid fucking peanut farmer.

If happens as those with a brain suspect, that the wheels fall off of this drunken sailor passed out in the gutter with his pockets turned out economy, one might follow Horace Greeley's suggestion and "Go West". I'm going to read Ecclesiastes, and think about Hemingway.

"This mulatto foreigner will be twice as entertaining as that stupid fucking peanut farmer."

You exhibit as much class and grace as a hurried shit in a motorway service station.
By your reckoning the proprieter of this blog is a foreigner too.

The major criticism I hear about reps is they are hiding their true nature. Way to prove this right Casca. Interesting slave-period term.

It will be interesting to see if the near 50% who voted against Obama fight him tooth and nail to make his presidency a failure. Akin to what the 50% did to Bush.

I hear the lovefest in the Republicans speeches but this Democrat regime doesn't deserve that respect for what they've done the past 8 years.

Bitter...yep.

Ironic...yep.

To Larry the Huck fan: Let's look at yesterday's Senate results to see how healthy the Arkansas Republican Party is after 10 years of Mike Huckabee.

Mark Pryor (Dem) 79%
Rebekah Kennedy (Green) 21%

Huckabee is McCain with a smile and a guitar.

bryan et all: mulatto is atechnically correct term. As to foreigner - isn't one of the advantages President-Elect used to brag about was his extensive familiarity with life in Indonesia?

Michael,

that huck comment made no sense.

1) pryor was the incumbent

2) Pryor's father was the governor of arkansas

3) huck's true greatness was that he was an elected republican in arkansas...and he was re-elected 4 times in a state governemt with 90% democrats.

CNN ... the best bartenders of the election. I think they poured an entire pint of whiskey into each glass.

Ahem. A smile and a BASS. He'd be in line as the First Bassists had he survived the primaries.

Tatyana, technically correct or not, it's still dickish, and it's not gonna push any cause forward. What next, Octaroon?

No, lowland silverback.

UM, I'll have to take your word for it. I don't frequent such places.
