Voted this morning. I live in a Democrat stronghold area of the city (there aren't even any Republicans on the ballot for several offices...), and there was no line whatsoever. Walked in, voted, walked out. Quick.

Nobody is worrying about petrol there more worried about their finances. This leads to Demand dropping. The two factors which causes prices to drop are Supply and Demand. In this case, as Yakman mentioned, Supply is high as Saudi Arabia put millions of oil barrels onto the market. What the problem is - No one wants or needs to buy them, basically they have no money.
In summary Gas prices being lowered were due to the population just not needing it anymore. They have got more things to worry about like losing their home and job e.t.c.
Also Obama is going to win, I'm in England here - election night. Obama's got it in the bag :)
I'd guess that only a couple are :pQuote:

What time do they acctually release the results?
After they have counted them up. I'm guessing it should be around midnight, since the polls close at 8 (I think?).Quote:

1. Obama grew up in a church that literally said "Damn America!"

3. Obama, at least ive never seen, wears an American pin
4. His full name is Barrack HUSSEIN Obama
5. Obama is a socialist, his wife is a communist
And another thing. Our troops over seas might be getting screwed out of their right to vote. The now more Democratic Congress will most likely not pass John McCain's demand that the US troops votes be counted even though the absentee ballots were late being sent out. This is just another scheme by the democrats because it is a fact that the Marines are more likely to vote for McCain, the more patriotic Candidate.
I was more fair before today, but today im going all out, because tomorrow i might be moving to Australia lol!
His wife is a communist? I haven't heard that one before :p, how so?Quote:

Obama does where an American flag pin. Just not all the time.
Sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes none at all.
SEVERAL other presidential candidates have done this.
Yes, he DOES place his hand over his heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Obviously you've never seen him do it.
Mccain takes kentucky and obama takes vermont so far.
Obama leads in florida and north carolina.
Mccain leads in the virginias.
All those states are pretty close.
Palin's hott.
This magazine agrees:
http://site.vanitykippah.com/blog/wp...arah-palin.jpg
Obama wins New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut; McCain takes South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee.
77-34 in obamas favor.
Just in:
Obama: 81
McCain: 39
Update:
Obama 102 Mccain 49.
Obama got Pennsylvania.
Where do you guys get these numbers at?
174 to 76 in Obama's favor.
Shoot! Obama just in won ohio :(
Cut em2 it
WOW obama took ohio.
200-90 obama's favor
Bring on california!
McCain lost :( there is almost no way he can win. We'll see.
Cut em2 it
Obama will definitely get California :p. I'm curious as to who gets Arizona since it's McCain's homestate but it's a toss-up at the moment (leaning slightly McCain).
CNN says 194-69 Obama so far :).
Pick any cable channel from 3 to 8 or their corresponding websites :pQuote:

Mccain takes texas.
Obama got Virginia, tied in North Carolina, winning by 1% in Indiana, 2% in Florida, and losing by 1% in Montana. CNN's has their official projection as Obama winning now. :)
And Obama is predicted by CNN to be the victor...
Sadly... :(
EDIT: Widget beat me in being the bearer of sad news :p
Ah well - All I can say is, good luck Obama. Just please don't make us socialists :\
Wooot Obama!!!!!!!
Justin Timeberlake needs to make a new song...
"We only got 78 days to save the world"
Obama's gonna win, because all the black people are actually voting this year, and it's for him.
God help us, and God help him.
And congrats to those who wanted Obama to win.
Little too late.Quote:

He's gonna deliver his speech thing now, let's watch :D
Wow... is all I have to say. Im glad america showed it would vote fairly =). I was thinking mccain would win because of the "bradly affect". But hehe, here we are.
Good job to mccain and his supporters for the job they did.
And congratz to obama! =)
I think Obama will win the election.
^.^
Yeah, all we heard about for days after the last two elections was "election fraud" and "diebold" and "voter suppression", etc.Quote:

When anyone wins by a landslide, the system worked. When the election depends on one state who's votes are within 0.1% of each other and the Republican supreme court overturns recounting it because the Republicans won, then there may have been some sort of fraud or unfair corruption. ;) (Not saying it's just the Republicans, the Democrats haven't seen a situation like that as far as I know of). McCain's ACORN affiliation propaganda was just another failed scare tactic that lots of people still bought (ACORN registers people that otherwise wouldn't be able to. They go around in lots of poverty areas and people attempt to try to register other people, but they're all sent to some special government agency to check if they're proper registrations, just like everyone else in the country).Quote:

Obama 08 ftw :)
we want change!
white to black :) lol theres 1 change lol, jp :P
Update on my opinion : Even stronger than before, I'm now almost positive that Obama will win. =P
Popular Vote being overruled by Electoral Votes is complete phale.
Give what the people want, not what ~300 people want.
If by people who love this country you mean racists who have not caught up with the times then you are on point.Quote:
