Someone just sent me this wondrous feedback on ff.net.

More!

To which I scream . . .No!

I'm just spamming while I watch the election. And wondering how one TV channel has Bush at 247 electoral votes while the other has Bush at 207?

I love the US political system. They're actually reschedulling the kids programs to Saturday so we can keep watching *g*

ETA
Is anyone getting the same results? Yahell has Bush at 237.

ETA2
Tom Daschle (sp) is behind? What the hell is going on over there?

My mobile just ran out (too much texting of you and Meg...) so that's why I'm not answering.

And I've gone back to watching Spooks. I can't take this.

Know the feeling. I should be studying :(

The US system is very strange. Would it be that hard to have more polling places?

PBS has Bush at 237, too. Damn and blast, they've just given him Arkansas. Arkansas!

PBS gave Florida to Bush.

Bloody hell, I really had hoped Kerry could do it. I don't want that idiot in charge of my country any longer. I really don't.

There's over a million absentee votes to be counted. I'm holding onto hope

Just watching 9 (CBS), they're talking to Joe Lockhart (he was Clinton's PS, right?). He's pretty confident of Kerry winning Ohio.

On 7 (NBC) They just called Florida for Bush. Bush is at 246.

:(

Kerry has to win Ohio now.

I have just about lost my faith in humanity.

I volunteered in a grade 1/2 class this morning. A class, who I found out during my prac, know a lot about politics. And it's only 12 years until they can vote.

I'm trying to hold onto my faith. Desperately

What is holding mine, is the fact that my new favorite politician (now Senator Barack Obama) go in, in IL.

*checks BBC* Kerry is slowly clawing back - the 4th Maine EV flipped back to Kerry.

Barack Obama is my hero.

Him and the 6 and 7 year olds.

Obama for President!!!!

CBS (9) is very hedging and said it could be hours before it's known. Ohio is the key.

That's what I'm watching now. Partially for Hugh Rimington's appearances. (Cutest journo in Australia)

I want a result for Minnesota. I want my state not to have gone over to the dark side. (Nice blue-coloured Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and New Hampshire would be nice too, because I think that would do it.)

They've quit coverage and are showing gameshows now...

Speaking of which, PBS has called MN for Kerry. Thank God.

Yay. Small mercies are needed to keep us fighting

They put Home Improvement on 7 up here. I'm about to get off Matt's computer, and go for the radio

I keep forgetting you're an hour earlier than us now.

I find it very weird that the news stations can just decide when to give a state to one person or another. It was what lead to the mass confusion last time, and both candidates giving speeches declaring themselves winners. And also why this time CNN, at least, is being very careful.
