2. I predict you can go to bed early, with complete confidence
that our next president is Barack Obama.

6. NO! NO! No confidence!
I had confidence in 2000. I had confidence in 2004. THIS YEAR I REFUSE TO HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE AT ALL. NOT TILL MID-NOVEMBER AT THE EARLIEST.

9. Kerry was never declared the winner in 2004
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 01:29 PM by Freddie Stubbs
He was slightly behind in OH all night, with the news organizations saying it was too close to call.

The next day the Kerry campaign conceded, saying that there were not enough uncounted ballots in OH to change the outcome.

15. You're going to stay up all night by fucking crooks?
I would look for some liberals for that kind of action, myself, but I'm not one to judge.

20. I plan on staying up all night, or as long as it takes.
And taking the day off from work the next day.

Scratch that. I'll have to come in to see the reaction among all my Repug coworkers!!
