      • .

        great result but i bet he is assassinated before the end of his four year term, lots of redneck middle americans are going to be very pissed off at this

      • Only joking, that was the funniest thing I've ever posted.

        Such a historic occasion and I respond with a DiS meme. That's really funny.

    ThingsThatFly | 5 Nov '08, 04:20 | X
  • Also,

    LOL at McCain getting booed at his own concession speech. Obama will probably break 350, and they can't cope...this is just incredible, historical stuff.

    theskysawfulblue | 5 Nov '08, 04:22 | X
    • They're booing Obama though

      and booing the idea that it was all his fault that he lost.

      untrue @theskysawfulblue | 5 Nov '08, 04:25 | X
      • But they're also booing him when he dosn't even mention Obama

        Utter, utter cunts. Honestly, given that kind of crowd, I'd WANT to lose the election...

        theskysawfulblue @untrue | 5 Nov '08, 04:30 | X
    • booing

      just wtf is wrong with these people.
      but in summary PICK THAT OUT! shitheads.

  • McCain concedes

    I thought it was very dignified, and rather moving...

    • mccain is a good guy

      but there are plenty of douches who dragged the campaign into crackpot territory

      soapy @joeydubya | 5 Nov '08, 04:31 | X
      • Yeah

        nice guy, too willing to get caught up in his party (and party supporters') bullshit.
        Great send-off though. Shame about his supporters.

        Lordjamwad @soapy | 5 Nov '08, 04:34 | X
        • wow yeah

          his speech was fantastically generous. he must be glad to see the back of that crowd and their ilk.

    whiterussian | 5 Nov '08, 05:31 | X
  • yeah!

    i'm still up. Night was a bit anticlimactic as the big party at the union was fully booked and kicked people out at 3 anyway.

    Dear remaining few dissers on here: I have a 9 oclock tutorial. Should I
    - sleep now, go to it
    - stay awake and go to it
    - sleep through it and get some actual sleep so I can work tomorrow afternoon and enjoy fireworks night properly

    you can decide this minute detail of my life. I have faith in you. Hope for change. Yes you can.

      I have a lecture at 11 but since it's important and getting out of bed is the hardest thing I do I'm staying awake.

          kenako @bleak | 5 Nov '08, 10:39 | X
    • I just watched his victory speech

      and I have to say that he is EASILY the most competent, engaging and impossibly noble politician I have ever seen in my lifetime

      it's truly astounding that anyone could manage to run such a clean and successful and professional campaign as this

      and to be able to mobilise so many disenfranchised voters is a feat worth applauding in itself

      I REALLY , REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope he is bulletproof

      • this is all my boss at work bangs on about

        it's all he contributes to any discussion about it 'Those Americans - they love their guns. He'll be shot. I wonder what odds the bookies are taking. Probably better off betting on first bullet location.'

        I GET IT ALREADY

        kenako @Anschul | 5 Nov '08, 10:15 | X

          as I write this post to the other guy I work with (who just walked through the door).

    • Woop!

      Good to see they made the right choice. Stayed up until about 2 last night watching it, couldn't cope for much longer.

      Comments on the BBC coverage: Generally good, especially Christopher Hitchens, who they should have on more. Ricky Gervais was a waste of time though, they went a bit ITV putting him on there.

    • Why?

      greenstone @Bamnan | 5 Nov '08, 11:21 | X
      • I think

        it's more to do with change - and the end of the Bush era.

        It's like 97 - but on a grander scale.

        greenstone @Bamnan | 5 Nov '08, 11:26 | X

          It's a day to embrace it.

          • they kept my old uni open all night

            a lot obviously following the states falling one by one upstairs but even more drunken fuckers in the bar downstairs cheering 'obama' when the ones upstairs started cheering...then carried on smoking joints and making out..

            then for Obama's acceptance speech they all gether upstairs in a druggy haze staring at Obama's face with necks craned upwards...screaming YES WE CAN!!

            In fucking London.

            I imagine Munich was like this
