ok, i'm adding missouri and mississipi to my list of states that i don't want to visit. they are both full of poor people who would rather vote for a republican than a black man. that pretty much says it all.
@ unaesthetic - that is scary.
Dimbleby wins the night by saying "fox news is not good enough".
On that note, I have to sign off here for the evening - need sleep, will have tv on and hope to subconsciously hear anything too upsetting.
Night all and cross fingers for a Democratic President of the USA tomorrow.

If you wanted to see how John McCain lost, its because he had to carry the flag of a party that choose that unsanctimonious wanker as the chief diplomat.
Whoever ran the McCain campaign should now be hounded out of politics.
But then again, I doubt you could find that anyone was running it.
Palin, bad idea. And if John Boltoin says its a good idea, you know how bad that idea is.
Flipping from maverick, then Bush fan, then security, then economic ignorance, then terrorism... There was no coherent noise coming from McCain who's message was beaten by "Change", "Hope" and "Yes We Can".
Imagine that: having your campaign beaten by a quick game of scrabble.
The "real" John McCain would have been a pretty good bet for the election but they just went all out to appeal to the base (as that nice woman was saying when John Bolton got all nasty).
Hopefully they will continue to appeal to the lunatic fringe and leave everyone else alone.
Bloody hell, it was busy on here last night - do you people not sleep? @Wisteria53, my mum can vote in local elections and mayoral elections, are you sure you can't? maybe it's an EU thing.
I double-checked with Haringey a few years ago when someone else thought I should be able to vote and they confirmed that "foreign nationals" are not eligible to vote in the UK. However, EU citizens CAN vote in local elections.
I have only paid US income tax once in the 20+ years I've lived here but have had to file tax returns there since they "caught" me out when I registered two of my children for US passports ("we notice madam that you haven't filed a tax return in the past 7 years").

So now his thread turns into: "What does an Obama presidency mean?"
"whats going to happen in America now?"
