I think I just felt the whole wide world choke. This is big. :)))

Great going TVNZ! Truelly the home of news.
Hilarious - I swapped from my Sky feeds of CNN/BBC/FOX et al to One on FreeviewHD because I figured it would be appropriate to see Obama's acceptance in HD, ya know. Only polite.
Instead there was some bint asking for a "T please Jason"... =|
TV3 must be on it though? Oh wait. Home & Away. =| -
If that means rubbing their noses in it, so be it.
You're probably right, but I'd rather be having a steak dinner. If Saturday night turns out to my liking and I'm still doing the humpty dance on Monday morning, you have my permission to come around and do to me all that shit you no longer have a S. 59 defence for if you do it to a child.

3410,
Karl Rove says Obama "appealed to America's better angels".
-
Jeez, McCain won't hit 200. Spanked.

Cancel the Sainsbury show if you have to!
You mean the final leader's debate? Damn good idea -- and what special needs case at TVNZ though it would be a good idea to schedule that on Guy Fawlkes and the day of the American election?
For their next amazing trick: Dump Coronation Street.

Ha, trying to get into barackobama.com - my browser is "waiting for donate.barackobama.com". Dude don't need donations any more Mr Firefox!

How would he know? I didn't think he has access to the place they live.

The studio exploded in a cloud of irony.

Good lord, is that tonight at 7?!
Ha, I don't envy Ms Clark or Mr Key following up the acceptance speech of the incredibly eloquent, first black President of the US with their "you're stealing my lightbulbs" and "you've got secret recordings" -
Wall Street rallies strongly at the news.

Wall Street rallies at the news.
I hope they DO, but Wall Street's closed - they rallied because the campaign was going to be over.

Does anyone know links to where Obama's victory speech can be viewed live? I don't have Sky and don't trust TVNZ/TV3 to screen it in full, and I think I'd rather view the penultimate moment of this historic election than Two and a Half Men or whatever. Tough as that choice is.

Franken is 250 votes behind, and Karl Rove himself just said he''l take it when the blue districts come in.

Joshua, Prime say they will cross to it live, if you have that channel.

*sigh* Remind me -- do you share a cigarette with your partner before or after an anti-climax?

Joshua - barackobama.com is doing live stream but that may get hit pretty hard.
Craig - LOL. There's NO WAY I'm watching that debate tonight. No freakin way.
-
Wow. And seeing that several (heavily urban, overwhelmingly D) counties in IN and NC haven't fully reported yet, it's possible that they too will go Blue. It's going to take a while for all this to sink in. With Shiraz and a pizza.

The live feed at MSNBC is still working nicely, and their player goes full screen.
-
Joshua, the BBC live stream seems pretty solid. It's what I'm watching since I don't have a TV.

Listening to McCain's call for untiy and his obviousness awareness of the possible reaction to a black man being elected president, I was reminded of attitude of Robert E. Lee after the civil war.
When the Confederate ex-governer of Virginia Henry A. Wise heard his son had the oath of loyalty that was a pre-requisite to get his rights as a citizen back, he exclaimed "You have disgraced the family!" To which his son replied, "But father, General Lee advised me to do it."
Taken aback, Wise said "That alters the case. Whatever General Lee advises is right."Hopefully, whatever Senator McCain advises will be taken by his more crazy followers to have altered the case.

Hopefully you're right, but I suspect that there's a thicker-than-concrete old lady out there who still believes that Obama's an A-rab.

His attitude before the war was okay too - opposing both slavery and secession.
