  - all y'all move so fast. it took me months to be able to use the word "boyfriend" (and mean it). - kare Nov 4, 16:25 3
    - oh jeez, when I changed my FB status to "complicated" as a joke, I was deluged with emails. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:26 2
      - Hey, you called me out when I did the same (also as a joke) -- nm - secretslacker Nov 4, 16:26 1

    - Don't change the subject. Tell us about your girlfriend. -- nm - Redmond Nov 4, 16:18
- You have a girlfriend? - amoxy Nov 4, 16:14 2

      - Uh no. I posted the simple phrase. The drought is over. - Redmond Nov 4, 16:21 3
        
        We were just kind of worried about the hue of those showers. -- nm - secretslacker Nov 4, 16:25

- Your memory is accurate. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:13
- except with a completely new and custom codebase ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:12 11
  - Well, yeah (and much overdue thanks for the all the work). I think Gary's codebase was custom back in the day as well - Jason Dean Nov 4, 16:15
  - But how are we supposed to get Cappie awards if we don't know how many responses there are? -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:13 9
    - When I create the stats interface, it can dynamically award that honor. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:14 8
      - Well, that's just damn fucking awesome. Which are the awards again? -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:18 2
        
        The twiki just has the cappie and the spammy, I think. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:19 1
        
        we also created the Havens for dragging a topic onto a new board (though I think it shoudl be a Guy). -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:25
      - You can't give out an award without accounting for intangiles, like scrapiness. (nm) - musubi voted Nov 4, 16:18 4
        
        *shrug* it's just an idea. Something to make it a bit more fun. There'll also be the counter everyone wants, of course. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:20 1

I'm calling the National Election for Obama so everyone can go back to their lives tonight. Goodnight! -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 4, 16:10
My polling place has only 2 voting machines - 1 of them a Diebold that wasn't working when I got there this afternoon. - CovingtonCat Nov 4, 16:10 15
- Straight ticket should never be an option, IMHO. How lazy can you be to not touch the screen on a couple places, or pull a couple little levers - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:11 11
  - a huge percentage of people vote that way anyway, why not save the time for everyone else? -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:14 3
    - Realistically, though... how much time does it really save? - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:16 2
      - from what I have seen, a lot! -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:17 1
        
        In all the years I have voted, I cannot remember any time I've had to vote for more than four or five races where party affiliation was a factor - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:21
  - I never use it, but some people consider it a party loyalty thing -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 16:13
  - I agree. I'd never seen a straight ticket option before I moved here. -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 4, 16:13
  - Have you never waited in line at a theatre behind some tard who can't figure out the automated ticket machine? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:13 4
    - Nope. Between working at a theatre and running the site, I haven't had to wait in a ticket line very often in the past 22 years -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:14 2
      - ... darn you! Making me feel like a plebe ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:15 1
        
        I mean, I do sometimes have to wait in a line to get into a movie, like at a film festival, but since I have my press pass, I'm usually at the front - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:17
    - (Oh, and for the record, I wouldn't trust an election to the people who make those automated ticket machines - but I'd rather them than Diebold) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:14
- So how many people were disenfranchised before they discovered this little "bug"? -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:11 2
  - and more importantly, are these 'bugs' showing up in only heavy demo/minority areas? ala florida - zeitgeist, at least my ticket is straight Nov 4, 16:17
  - No idea. I had a 15 minute wait at 4:30. Someone who voted in the morning said it was very busy then. -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 4, 16:12
And we've broken 538. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:09 3
- That's quite a landslide -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 16:10
- Works for me -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:10
- Yes We Can! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:10
Official election results from the official Virginia State Board of Elections web site (currently, it's all at "0") -- (link) - Mop Nov 4, 16:08 1

Yahoo just called Kentucky for McCain (only 10% reporting) -- nm - Guy Nov 4, 16:08 4
- don't call redmond a yahoo! he's just telling us what he heard -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 4, 16:11 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:14
- Top of B2. Like, the very top. Like, the last post on B2 before it rolled -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:09
- Well Yahoo is too slow. Already posted on B2 bubba -- nm - Redmond Nov 4, 16:09
To be fair, you don't really need to count any votes in pinko Vermont. ;) -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:08 2

- I wish I had HD Net. He's supposed to be doing election coverage with Dan Rather tonight. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:10 3
  - *whimper* - nubby Nov 4, 16:11
  - That -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 16:10 1
    - 's where I'm watching. I'm waiting for Dan Rather to metaphor himself into a knot. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 16:11
Let's hurry up and call these races so we can finally go home after two years! -- nm - CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC Nov 4, 16:08 1
- oh, you'll be up for the next week. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:09
Thank you Mike Timlin for all the wonderful memories as well as those gut wrenching ones. -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 16:07
CNN calls Mark Warner the Senate seat winner in VA -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:06 3
- I need a D or R please. Not sure about the Senate players in other states. -- nm - Redmond Nov 4, 16:07 2
  - D - seat formerly held by R -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 16:08 1
    - Thank ye -- nm - Redmond Nov 4, 16:08
McCain's winning! -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:04 9

  - Damn...McCain might get double digits in teh EC...*sigh* -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 16:07
the Libertarian party is like Kenny Rogers' song "I Just Dropped In" from The Big Lebowski: "eight miles out of town and I got no spare ..." - The Dude Nov 4, 16:04
poot. - musubi Nov 4, 16:03
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home... -- nm - Votin' Vermin Nov 4, 16:03 1
- "Trust me, it'll be funny when I'm an old man." -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 16:04
driving my ex to the polls and bringing her her voting sheet....its pretty much blank, like her head -- nm - Stacy Nov 4, 16:03 15
- She is voting yes on Prop 8 -- nm - Redmond Nov 4, 16:04 2
  - she is voting no on that, itsw one of the few she's marked so far -- nm - Stacy Nov 4, 16:07 1
    - She's a romantic? -- nm - secretslacker Nov 4, 16:08
- What's a 'voting sheet'? -- nm - Votin' Vermin Nov 4, 16:03 10
  - ballot? -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:04 9
    - I would have assumed that, but how does one get to bring someone else their ballot? - Votin' Vermin Nov 4, 16:06 4
      - I'm picking her up from work and dropping her of at the polls which are a block from the house. -- nm - Stacy Nov 4, 16:09 3
        
        You should make her walk home. -- nm - secretslacker Nov 4, 16:10 2
        
        word! she wanted me to wait for her but whats the point I can't go in since I already voted. -- nm - Stacy Nov 4, 16:14 1
        
        dear God she has nerve. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:21
    - its a cheat sheet in the sample ballot you tear out and take with you to remember how to vote instead of reading -- nm - Stacy Nov 4, 16:05 3
      - With all the local, city, county and state initiatives, that's a lot to remember - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 16:09 1
