Tue. 11/4/08 11:09pm From: john

To quote the late great Bob Murphy, "we'll be back with the happy recap."

Tue. 11/4/08 11:11pm From: toni daytona

Tue. 11/4/08 11:12pm From: sugarwolf

I can put the Obama sticker on the final page of my Stuck on the Presidents sticker book!!

Tue. 11/4/08 11:14pm From: Daniel

I'm proud of my country again.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:15pm From: Derek in DC

Fox News is so funny. Karl Rove and his gang were desperately trying to put a positive spin on all this. It was like watching a wake for someone everybody hated. Weird, uncomfortable, drenched in denial, but sort of entertaining.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:16pm From: toni d.

i really dont trust anyone who looks like alfred e. numan,,=(=(

Tue. 11/4/08 11:17pm From: Parq

Hatch, are you still there? I extend my hand to you across the series of tubes, bro. You did it. We *all* did it. Wait, McCain's concession speech is about to start. I am so proud to be a WFMU listener tonight.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:17pm From: Brian

I guess it doesn't matter anymore, but Florida went to Obama. Congratulations Laurie and all other Floridians!

Tue. 11/4/08 11:17pm From: john

Rove called it 338-200 yesterday. May have been the only honest thing I've ever heard him say.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:21pm From: sugarwolf

Jesse Jackson crying is making me cry

Tue. 11/4/08 11:22pm From: Daniel

C'mon everybody, group hug.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:22pm From: trent

please play come together

Tue. 11/4/08 11:23pm From: john

This is really quite a graceful speech. Nothing became McCain's campaign like his leaving of it.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:23pm From: efd

John, absolutely right - we were just discussing that here. More to come on the air shortly.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:25pm From: trish

wanker?

Tue. 11/4/08 11:26pm From: Daniel

This is the first time I've really felt emotion in his voice. But really, can't the audience just shut up???
Also, I second what trent said.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:28pm From: toni daytona

efd---could you trust anyone who looks like alfred e. numan???

Tue. 11/4/08 11:29pm From: Hatch

God bless America.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:29pm From: Parq

I respectfully dissent. That was nothing but the usual cliche ridden crap. And fuck this "put aside our differences" stuff. I want the GOP shut out in the cold just as thoroughly as we were prior to 2006. I want them standing outside the gates with their fucking hats in their hands.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:33pm From: Daniel

I'm just wondering from a technical standpoint, is there any reason that the Electile Dysfunction stream sounds much better than the regular stream? (maybe there is some kind of compressor for going on air?)

Tue. 11/4/08 11:34pm From: Laurie

My heart is SOARING. I feel so good.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:35pm From: 22nd St

Hi again, Chad

Tue. 11/4/08 11:36pm From: john

This is very gratifying. But gloating and vengefulness is as unbecoming in a winner as whining in a loser. Let's move on and govern and forget the petty stuff from the last 40 years or so. Looks like Obama will be speaking shortly; invocation being given now.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:39pm From: Daniel

I'm farting with joy.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:44pm From: stingy d

i was watching tv and tavis smiley killed it
but anyway.. it's safe to go to work tomorrow...i 'm not gonna smoke all the dust i bought in queens.... i'm trying to buy some chips mufuckas

Tue. 11/4/08 11:45pm From: john

looks like Obama will be talking at 12.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:45pm From: Rebecca in Hoboken

Love the gif!!!

Tue. 11/4/08 11:46pm From: john

Obama will definitely have beaten John Kerry's tally with white voters, not to give anything away.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:53pm From: ?

tallyman....thinkaboudit

Tue. 11/4/08 11:54pm From: toni d.

evan,,PLEASE dont play the obama speech,,,,i just ate,i'm begging

Tue. 11/4/08 11:55pm From: another foreigner question

Another foreigner question: who serves as healthy democratic opposition in a two-party system??

The pre-election coalitions that Hatch discussed earlier. Do they simply prevail?

We have an oppositional majority here in .ca and til now, it flew nicely.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:55pm From: stingy d

nacho cheese bugelson you fmu punks

Tue. 11/4/08 11:58pm From: john

Foreigner, That'll be a function of the bloodiness of the civil war in the GOP that starts in about 30 seconds.

Tue. 11/4/08 11:59pm From: em2

guys...he's on...

Wed. 11/5/08 12:01am From: randy in NC

Hey, here in NC it's still too close to call. But Bush won by 12% in 2004. So it's a big improvement.

efd, maybe it's because the DB's played for free on Saturday here. Well 3/4 plus Mitch Easter(!)

Wed. 11/5/08 12:09am From: Foreigner

John,

Really? It doesn't ever come from within? It must a bit, eh? Historically, it's the press, isn't it? In 21st C, I'd put that more to the people than the press.

I d'know. I need to go have a hockey beer. Fucking Palin's hockey woman bit..

Wed. 11/5/08 12:18am From: Parq

I've got tears in my eyes . . .

Wed. 11/5/08 12:21am From: one hot blonde

Wed. 11/5/08 12:23am From: Derek in DC

I just realized: ALL THE RIGHT-WING NEOCON A-HOLES WHO MOVED HERE 8 YEARS AGO WILL FINALLY BE LEAVING!!! THANK YOU, AMERICA!

Wed. 11/5/08 12:24am From: Daniel

I leave, dear internet friends and sleep. Night everybody.

Wed. 11/5/08 12:53am From: stingy d

its good obama won and evrything,,, but if mcaain won, i just want you to know tha i could win so many fights right now

Wed. 11/5/08 12:55am From: john

Evan, that was fun! Looks like I got 2 of 3, the idiotic constitutional convention thing proposed by the far right here in CT is getting whacked, but Prop 8 doesn't look good--all my friends in CA were fighting that one too.

Wed. 11/5/08 12:55am From: stingy d

can you explain this lover song o alittle amorem though?

Wed. 11/5/08 12:56am From: Mickey Mephistopheles

Thank you Magic Factory for the stream today. Credit Rob Weisberg for convincing me to vote for Obama by demonstrating his international appeal on Sunday night.

Wed. 11/5/08 12:56am From: E.L.

Huzzah! I'm just getting back from an election day party. Hoorah! What a night!

Wed. 11/5/08 12:58am From: Mickey Mephistopheles

Also THX LAURIE NOW I CAN HAS CHEESEBURGER K BYE NOW

Wed. 11/5/08 12:59am From: efd

hi E.L.! Hi Mickey!

bye Mickey!

Wed. 11/5/08 1:00am From: stingy dq

i think thats all i got

Wed. 11/5/08 1:06am From: E.L.

It really is the best animated GIF I've seen in a while— the bed music seals the deal.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:10am From: em2

GA went McCain

Wed. 11/5/08 1:11am From: john

Dole lost it with the atheist ad last week. Coleman/Franken in MN too close to call, people hate them both. Oregon also close, but Portland area not well counted yet. And I'd bet on Begich to beat Stevens in AK. Montana has a Dem governor and both senators. GA was never going to go Obama, I tried to make it work but never could.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:12am From: efd

thanks John and em2 for the updates!

Yeah, that Dole ad was definitely not a good move.

And what of Elwyn Tinklenberg (sp)?

Wed. 11/5/08 1:14am From: E.L.

This Herbaliser cut works with well with the GIF too.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:15am From: john

Hard to say about Elwyn Tinklenberg, doesn't look great, losing to the whackjob Bachmann 47-43 with 76% counted. As, however, you know, I do like saying Elwyn Tinklenberg.

Elwyn Tinklenberg.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:17am From: efd

that's why i was surprised you hadn't mentioned it!

[pats self on back for spelling Elwyn Tinklenberg correctly]

Wed. 11/5/08 1:18am From: Laurie

COME ON, CALIFORNIA. Don't make Mr. Sulu cry.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:20am From: john

Mr. Sulu can come move here to CT. We're apparently more highly evolved.

And Evan, it's been a long day, what can I say? Oh yeah. Elwyn Tinklenberg.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:21am From: Laurie

Or he can move in with the Massholes, right?

Wed. 11/5/08 1:22am From: john

Yeah, but they drive funny, as per the name.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:24am From: john

Love the Commonwealth to pieces, I hasten to add.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:26am From: joey

Anyone know anything bout the "No on 8"thing in california?? the anti-rights ballot thing...to freeze gay and lesbian marriage for the next few decades?? please responde cuz i cant find anything updated on the web (ironically)

Wed. 11/5/08 1:30am From: john

Try here, the official site. http://vote.sos.ca.gov/Returns/props/map190000000008.htm
Doesn't look good just now, but not a lot of vote in. Must be tons of traffic, hard to get through sometimes.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:32am From: j

Wed. 11/5/08 1:36am From: Lennox

ObamanatioN!!! Yayyyy

Wed. 11/5/08 1:39am From: joey

so the same sex marriage thing in california is not "called" we still have hope??

Wed. 11/5/08 1:42am From: john

Well, on Prop 8, very little of Los Angeles County has been counted yet, so that's good. But very little of Orange County has, so that's bad.

"Why" doesn't have a short answer.

Wed. 11/5/08 1:43am From: joey

Wed. 11/5/08 1:43am From: joey

RIOT!!!!!!!!!

best anti-Prop 8 t-shirt message I saw (online, at least):
Can I vote on your marriage?
